I'm sure you've already taken your trip, but here's what I think, in case it helps someone else. I assume you'll have the 2 year old rearfacing, especially since you're traveling at what I assume will be highway speeds. I would put them on one side of the back row in a Britax Boulevard or Advocate. It depends how big your 6 year old is, but probably something like a Graco Nautilus on the other side of the back seat. The 8 year old can be in a low back booster in the middle of the back seat and you should be able to access both side seats still. The 12 and 14 year old don't need boosters anymore and can go in the captains chairs, but could also switch out with the 8 year old. Hope this helps someone.

The Chicco Key Fit 30 carseats DO FIT. I use mine all the time with two of these car seats. They are very secure as well. I suggest watching the you tube video for help.TIP: Be sure the first seat is completely strapped in before inserting the second one. Seat the car seat closest to you first.

You have to buy a separate carseat adapter - there is a special for Chicco car seats. My son is over 37" and fits fine! I have the canopy in the lowest position, too, so my daughter can see over his seat better from the back seat (I use it as a double with two seats facing forward usually). No complaints about room, but there is still more room for him to grow since we can put the canopy higher!

Our older grandson who will turn 6 soon and his younger brother both went from the infant carrier carseats to tge Advocate models @ one year of age and sat rear facing til til 2+ yrs of age (the older grand moved to a Pinnacle model last year when he sat too tall for the Advocate before turning 5 yrs @ approx 40lbs. We take him places often so we purchased one for our mini van too. We feel he is safe and comfortable so that justifies the price for us.

I personally am using a Graco carseat with my Sit N Stand, however I have several friends who own the double Sit N Stand (which is why I got one) and they all use different brands of carseats with it. It is obvious when you click it in, that the "Baby Trend" brand carseat would fit the best, but it does hold other brands and you can recline the seat to help snug your carseat in closer. :-) I hope that helps a little bit.

I have twins and use two Chicco Keyfit 30 infants seats (with a separately purchased extra carseat adapter). The two seats fit just fine and don't touch each other.

You can put the carseat on top each stroller's seat. If you use the Graco classic carseats as I do it should work just fine.And this stroller is at its best if you just have one carseat on either seat and a child on the other.

This manual says atleast 20 pounds and over one years old. I have seen people put kids younger than 1 in front facing carseats, but facing backwards is safest for them. My husband and I went by our baby....she loved her carseat and when she got near 1 years old she began to fight us and throw.fits when trying to put her in her carseat. We figured out that she was outgrowing it and not.comfortable anymore. We got this Recaro.and she loves it!!

I bought this stroller about 2 months ago and my son will be 2..so I am not really sure what car seat would be best comparable. I have Graco so that's what I will be using when second baby comes along;) good luck! This is an awesome stroller though. My husband and I both love it!!

We had a 12 year old (no kind of car seat), the radian in the middle, and a 10 year old in the Fisher Price Safe Voyage Booster (narrowest booster seat we could find). This fits but not much extra room for strapping in the booster. I think 3 of these seats would fit but the middle would be hard to keep it stable (the Versa has a little middle bump-they advertise it as a 3 seater for a small adult).

According to their website, you can only use one carseat attachment for Chicco seats. Read their list carefully because not all carseats can be used with the attachment. Which annoys me because the carseat I plan to get, can't be used with the attachment at all.

We have a Honda Civic and we were able to do two of these seats with a our other (slightly larger) car seat without any problem. They are actually slightly smaller than 17" when measured. We put the non-safety-first car seat in the middle, so they sort of tuck into each other. That way we were able to get away with only buying two new car seats, instead of three.

I have this stroller and did use a graco carseat. It "sits" in there fine, we used the seat belt of the stroller and hooked it to where the seatbelt goes through the carseat. It did intrude on the other kids space, and it COULD fall out if hit very hard. It worked fine for us, though!

This carseat is pretty big for my honda civic four door rear facing. I had to pull up the front passenger seat. The good thing is, this carseat has an option to recline. Still, my back seat is already reclined, so I left my carseat all the way recline to make my baby lay back. If i were you, I would get small infant carseat. Make sure it's padded. I had Britax travel system and used its carseat for my car. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

Im not sure why you couldn't use for newborns...we used an insert for the carseat and laid the seat down..however I had to return because it was too big. I ended up getting a phil &teds; navigator with double kit which I love. Although its not side by side.

My kids are 16 mo apart, so my older child wasn't huge when the baby was in the infant seat, but they fit great. The back seat reclines enough to make it not feel too cramped. The compact size is awesome, so I definitely wouldn't change it, but as my infant got bigger, his feet would be right at my older child's face. It made it very hard for her not to play with his feet while he was napping in the infant seat :).
