You will need to check the car manual to check if you need to install the carseats in each side seat (some cars cannot accomodate a carseat in the middle).

I have a GMC Envoy and have 2 Marathons in the back seat (one on each side). When my friend came to visit, there was no room for a person to sit in the middle unless they were tiny. The 2 Marathons just took up too much room. I ended up having to borrow an Acadia from my DH (because it had a 3rd row).

We have a Camry (mid size sedan) and two Marathons in the back... no way could a person fit between them or even get into the space.

I know it stinks... we have no choice, we must get a bigger vehicle soon.

I don't think it's possible to have one car seat on a side and then one in the middle. I think each one needs its own side.

I have definitely squeezed between my niece and nephew in my SIL's mini-van for quick trips, but that is about it. And even then, I was half on the floor - definitely not comfortable!

Not in my car. They must be placed on either side, the seat is not wide enough to do one by the window and one in the middle.

I'm not familiar with the Audi wagon but I doubt it's bigger than the backseat of my car.

The only people I know who have two carseats and room for others are those with mini-cans and 3 row SUV's.

It all depends on the car seat. Some seats are wide and take up a lot more room. Others I think you could fit next to each other. It will be very hard though.

Same here. My mom is small and has sat kinda sideways with one cheek on the middle seat mostly hanging into the front seat for a very short ride in town, but she said it was very uncomfortable and she was worried about an accident.

Besides not having enough room, it might not be safe to have one in the middle and one on the side. In my car, the manual says the car will only support one in the middle, or one on each end. We can't have 3 seats, or even one in the middle and one on a side.
