3 across is perfectly safe as long as they installed properly and independently secure.
Yup! I did have a terrible time puzzling the Radians in there too because that middle seat is pretty narrow. I started to panic that I wouldn't be able to do it! But I was able to with seatbelt install on the FF instead of LATCH.
Yeah, 3 across usually goes a little better when the seat belts are used instead of LATCH. For some reason LATCH takes a bit more space.
I was told today it's just because they center the seat and with a seatbelt install you can kind of push the seat outboard more (I hadn't realized that was still safe).
This is what it looked like when I had the FF installed with LATCH and tried to get the RF next to it. The middle seat buckle was underneath the Radian.
We were playing with three across yesterday. A radian is definitely in our future. I know how hard/frustrating it is to figure it out, glad you're done!
We have been trying to figure out if we would be able to fit 3 seats in our car or if we have to buy a new one. Are you using 2 radians and and an infant carrier? How old are your first 2 children?

Yes. I have a 3 1/2 year old in a FF Radian, a 21 month old in the RF Radian, and a Chicco Keyfit for the new baby.
We kept trying to configure ours into my Dodge Journey and went all eff it yesterday and bought a "new" car with a 3rd row. I'm getting nervous about the conspiracy theory of the world being created for families of 4.

We will have 3 across as well (in a Buick rendezvous), but luckily my kids are older and have boosters so not much to work out.
