Car seat dilemma

Creedon778

Once baby arrives I will have a 5 year old, an almost 4 year old and baby. How the heck do I get three car seats in my vehicle?

I have a pathfinder so it's not small but the Britax car seats don't leave room for an infant seat. Do I go to booster seats and if so which ones are space savers?

I know diono car seats are supposed to fit 3 wide n smaller vehicles.  I would go in somewhere and test some possibilities out!

Clek floo and foonf will both fit 3 across and are easy to install. The dionos will also fit but are the biggest pain to install. (It took my husband and I over an hour to install three- and I'm a nanny so have installed all kind of seats for the last ten years). If you do move your 5 year old to a booster it will likely just be harder for them to reach the buckle- and a 5pt harness is safer anyway!

Dionos are an option but I do t like them as a booster. I have my almost 6 year old in a booster and in my husband's car she sits in the 3rd row (explorer). The clecks are another option and are great car seats.
There is no possibility of me fitting 3 carseats in my car- plus I have a dud from VW that they have to buy back so we will be upgrading.

We have a third row but I read it's safer to have all three in the 2nd row. Assuming of course you can get them all to fit! Thanks ladies. I will check those out and see if I can find the other thread.

I LOVE our Dionos. Skinny little things. I have my 5 year old and 3 year old in them (3 yo still rear facing) and I'll stick the baby in the middle. I'm in a Pilot and there's plenty of room. 

ETA: I was going to put someone in the back, but it feels so far away and I felt like I wouldn't be able to talk to them in the car that way, plus it didn't feel as safe.

Love our Dionos. We have an Odyssey and a good amount of space. I haven't figured out exactly what the seating arrangement will be yet though.
