| For a three across problem I need a seat 16" or less. Data at this website: Car Seat Measurements: CarSeatData.org - user ratings of carseats fitting into cars suggests that the "new design" Graco Cargo is only 15". However on websites all I can find are the Graco Ultra Cargo Booster (in Wilbur) and the Graco Platinum Cargo Booster (in Sydney). Websites vary on how wide they report these seats to be. The Gracobaby site seems to list both the ultra and the platinum at 16.5", which leads me to wonder where the carseatdata people got their seat. It may just matter where the width measurement is made. Any ideas on what would work? If not I'll just web-order the Platinum Cargo Booster Sydney from Target and hope for the best. |

| Ok I'll answer my own question. I bought two Graco Cargo Sydneys and installed them along with a standard booster seat (16" wide). The Graco cargos were 16" at the base but up to 16.5" at the back (manufacturer just gave 16.5" as the width. Surprisingly I fit all three without great difficulty in a Ford Escort (48.5" at narrowest point between the armrests, a bit wider elsewhere). Only problem is that the booster needs to have the shoulder seat belt buckled every time, which isn't easy. I plan on buying a short seat belt extender so that I don't have to reach down in between them to buckle the belt. |
