can FIVE carseats fit in a minivan??
Totally random, I know.
I have four Britax Marathons in my car right now (Toyota Highlander). I have two kids but I take care of two others. Now someone else is begging me to watch their child as well (newborn)...and I need the carseats in the car for when I pick up my daughter from nursery school. What do you think?

Re: can FIVE carseats fit in a minivan??
Obviously the big question is can 3 fit in one row?
I have a 8 seater Toyota Sienna and the most I could fit are 4 carseats and 2 backless booster seats. Not that I've tried. The most I have put in are 2 carseats, 1 booster with a back and 2 backless boosters. Not sure about a Highlander.
Oh yeah and...are you nuts? Actually I admire you if you are thinking about it. It means you have a lot more energy and patience than I do. God Bless!
ETA: I see one is an infant seat. Hmmmnn....it might be doable.

 I am totally nutso. 
But the money would be amazing...and I will be "out of work" for the summer, so I could save a bunch of money to get me through....
And it's only for 4 months...  I don't know what to do!!!

Check the owners manual. Some vehicles have the space and the LATCHs for 3 seats across one row, but they are not designed for it. My PT Cruiser mentions in the manual that you can't have 3 across, even though I have 3 LATCHs. The middle one is for a single carseat.
