	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.

Have you looked into the Sunshine Kids Radian 65/80 seats? They are the narrowest seats on the market. How old are your twins and what is their weight?

Also, if you only have a lap belt in the middle, it would be safer for your older child to be in a lap/shoulder belt and you put one of the twins in the middle. You can use a lap belt when installing a carseat, but you shouldn't have a child in JUST the lap belt.

Your child should be 13 years old before he is in the front seat due to the airbag.

	Sunshine Kids Radian 80 or 65 - Click for more info If "the Sunshine Kid's Radian 80 convertible car seat is (probably) the only car seat you will ever need," the "probably" part of this statement comes into play when you directly compare the Radian 80 with the Britax Regent. While the Radian 80 has a very high weight capacity, the seat width is only 10" vs. the Regent's 14" seat. The Britax Regent may be a bit wider, but it is very bulky, is only forward facing, and does not fold like the Radian 80. Because the Radian 80 is so narrow, you can potentially put three of them side by side in the back seat. Three Regents side by side? Impossible.
