    I bought another car but my BFF and I fit, 3 carseats:  Safety 1st seat, Britax Roundabout and a infant carrier all in a Crystler 300

    I hear the sunshine raidan is slim?

    Three Sunshine Radians might fit. I know they're somewhat expensive seats, but in the long run it's still cheaper than a new car.

    PerrrrFect4  your first 2 kids are almost the same age as mine! How funny!! How is it having Three compared to the 2. my first 2 are 18 months apart and this one will be almost 3 yrs after my second.

    I'd recommend going to TRU or BRU to install various floor models in your vehicle.  Keep in mind that sooner or later, your oldest will be in a belt positioning booster, and that's a whole different ballgame.  You need to be able to buckle/unbuckle the seatbelt quickly for safety's sake.  You may end up needing to trade in for a larger vehicle at that point.  Good luck in your search!

    The Sunshine Radian is very slim and a great seat.  We have a Radian, Britax Marathon, and Graco Safeseat in a Toyota Corrolla and a Cadillac CTS.  It is tight but they fit.  If we had 2 Radians we would have a lot of room.
