Can you recommend your SLIM line carseat?

With twins on the way, we are researching cars and whether I can swing my Suzuki with all 3, cause I love my little truck.
Its also a cheap monthly payment Chat Icon

I have a Britax in there now and we know that will NOT work with two infant seats as well.

She will be 3 when they arrive, so no booster seat just yet.

TIA!

I have been researching this too, and from what I can find, the Cosco Scenera is very narrow (17 inches across), and is a good fit for 3 across.

A Radian is extremely slim and tends to puzzle well with other seat since it doesn't sit up on a large base (like the Britax does). It also has a higher height and weight limit than the Scenera (which tops out at 40lbs forward facing and has lower top slots)

You may also need to look into slimmer infant seats as well. If you wanted to bypass traditional infant seats, you can probably do 3 convertibles (RF-FF-RF) to puzzle them.

www.car-seat.org has a whole thread dedicated to successful 3-across situations that may be helpful to you.

I have the Scenera as a spare and it is very slim...much slimmer than the Britax and the Evenflo Triumph. Also for the babies look into the Maxi Cosi carseats both infant and convertible...they are supposed to be slimmer...you can check them out at BBB.
