yes they are only 17 inches wide. i have 2 right now and could definitly fit another carseat if i needed to. also it is not too terribly uncomfortable for me to sit next to them...and im no small thing. i think an 11 year old should be able to fit comfortably next to them.

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).

Hi Mom of Two!I have a quick but desperate question. We just bought a 2008 highlander 6 months ago, then found out I was pregnant. Does you 2nd row seat have the removable center seat? I am having an impossible time finding a way to put a booster, a carseat forward facing and a rear facing seat in the 2nd row. How did you do it, or do you have a different kind of second row?Thanks,rochelle

Hi, What year highlander do you have? I am wondering if the radian would fit in the middle seat (we have the model where the middle seat can be removed)? I am looking to put a Radian XT rearfacing in the middle, a boulevard on one side and a monterrey booster on the other side.Thanks!rochelle

Yes, it does fit. We have a Highlander and two Radian seats along with an infant Chicco rear-facing base/car seat. It is a tight fit but definitely fits.

I have had mine three in a row, with one of those an infant seat, in a Dodge Dakota, which would be comparable to a small SUV. The infant seat has a wider base, so I think it is definitely doable, though it might be a tight fit and difficult to install the seats three in a row. HTH.

Do you think that you could fit three of these similar car seats in the back? My husband would like to buy a versa, but we would need to have three of these in the backseat and we're not sure it would fit when just measuring the car at the dealership, where we thought it might with a Honda Fit (just barely), though I know he'd rather have the versa. With your 2 seats in, how much actual hip room does your 11 year old have, is it enough for another 17 in seat? Thanks a bunch!

We have been considerign purchasing this, can anyone attest to the true smaller size this posts. I just bought a Nissan Versa and thought 3 kids would fit comfortably in the back seat (not quite). We currently have the Evenflo Triumph, Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster, and an 11 year old that gets squeezed wherever she fits. The kids are actually 3, 9, and 11. The 9 year old still needs the booster-he is only 60 pounds. I am considering purchasing this car seat but only if I can get all three kids comfortable in the back seat. This would replace the Triumph.

That is highly likely. I would say they can fit three in a row mid sized or larger vehicles but no smaller

The car seats can face the same way and be clicked in for safety only if you use one Graco carseat and one Chicco carseat. The Graco connections face the opposite direction as the Chicco connections, so if you buy one of each, they can face the same direction while still being snapped in. This stroller is excellent. Very sturdy and well made. We love that we can push it up to a table in a restaurant and both babies can face us.

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.

Yes, I believe when I was researching baby jogger makes two carseat bars. You have to make sure your getting the or compatable with chicco. (I think it's the only carseat that works on the second bar)

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:) Hello.

I have mine rear facing in a second row, captain chair in a mini van. It works well and we are very pleased. This is the second car seat of this same style and brand we have purchased because I loved it so much for my son who is now 2 and is still riding in his forward facing now and we still love it.

2 of these can easily fit in highlander, i am not sure about the other SUVs (smaller ones, i guess you can fit, however take the exact width measurement and check in ur SUV. If you are space constrained, pls dont go with this as this is bulky. We use to keep this at the center and two people can sit beside the car seat(earlier ones). With this one we have to move it to the side so that one another person can sit comfortably.

I have one of these seats and two cheap wal mart car seats in the back of my honda cr-v. Also, we used to fit two cheap wal mart car seats, which are wider than the diono, and a chicco key fit 30 infant seat in the back of the same vehicle. My sister had 3 dionos in the back of her honda civic.

Hi Eugenia, I use 2 at a time, but you will need to have the child seat closed unfortunately. We use these every week and they are awesome. You won't regret buying them.

Last I checked there was not a carseat adapter for the double. I think they are planning one. I think one of the reviews had some info about it. As of now it is not an available accessory on their website. The adapter for the single would not work b/c the seats in the double are a bit narrower.

The Radian allows for a higher weight limit RF (although most kids will not reach it). The NextFit has a lower RF weight limit, but a higher RF height limit than the Radian. NextFit is the 2nd tallest in RF height (after the Graco Headwise/Size4Me/MySize/Fit4Me). So, if your child is very tall but not super heavy, go for the NextFit (or one of the aforementioned Graco seats). If your child is chunky but not that tall go for the radian. Regardless, both seats will see your child RF to about 4yo (NHTSA recommendation is rear face to at least age 2, and as close to age 4 as possible). The Radian has lower sides, the NextFit has a no-rethread harness. NextFit has an easier LATCH install. Radian has a booster seat option, but it's almost useless since it is outgrown for most children at the same time as the forward facing harness. Both Radian (with the optional angle adjustor) and NextFit tend to fit well behind tall people or in smaller cars. ETA: NextFit harness is a little trickier to adjust around the child - especially in seats manufactured before Oct 2013. Check out Car Seats for the Littles on Facebook or on their blog for more car seat info and reviews of both seats. (I'm not affiliated with them, just a fan)

I had difficulty getting this to fit next to an infant seat, and it also won't fit next to my daughter's convertible, which we got because of its narrow space. The base alone makes it difficult to put in the middle seat, but then it also protrudes in the seat part. You can get two in the back seat with each on each side of the car. An adult can squeeze uncomfortably in the middle, but it is really difficult to get to that middle spot. Especially if the seat is still rear-facing. I drive a Highlander.

Hi, they have updated the carseat. First, the G4 seats include an infant positioning pillow which must be used up to 22 pounds and then removed while in the 3G you removed it once the child could sit unsupported. Second, the harness covers where redesigned and third, they removed the "70" out of the name due to less weight capacity. It now supports 65pounds while the 3G 70... Hope this helps. Whether you decide to buy the 3G or the 4G you won't regret it. Britax, of what I researched is one of the best carseats. I am very pleased with my purchase and for my second child I will not hesitate on buying Pavilion once again. Good Luck...

I don't see why not. (I"m assuming you're referring to a middle row seat as it isn't safe to have a carseat/child ride in the front.) We have two Radians in the middle row of our minivan. They're like captain seats instead of bench seating.

You would have to see if they have a bar for two car seats. But keep in mind you might have to buy a car seat from them. I had the problem where my car seat did not fit their bar because it was too thick. I'd definitely look in to it before making any decisions.
