Yes, 3 Seats in Honda CRV Works!

[mamaof3]

I found this site very helpful when trying to choose which seats to use to fit 3across in my Honda CRV so I wanted to post which seats I ended up using so that others will know it will work!

To fit 3 seats across I actually ended up purchasing a seat and kept my other 2 existing seats. What I now have in the back of my 2006 Honda CRV are the following seats:

3-in-1 Eddie Bauer
Graco Infant Snugride
Sunshine Kids Radian 65

We liked that the Radian has the 5 pt harness up to 65lbs and needed a really narrow seat so we ended up buy 2 of them so now have 2 Radians and the Infant Graco seat. At least now I know that when the baby moves to the next seat, we can use the existing 3-in-1 Eddie Bauer that we have.

	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.

Love hearing that three can fit in a CRV! Its exactly what I was looking for!!! So, I'm curious. What's the configuration that you use? Radian in the middle? Graco Snugride? Once you do need to move to the rear facing convertible seat, what will you chose for that configuration? THANKS!!

	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. Ready to buy a Convertible car seat?

what is the size of your back seat- I have a forrester and trying to fit 3 car seats?

We have the same dilema. We are having a 3rd child and would like to keep the current cars we have now. We have a 3 yr old a 2 yr old and soon to be an infant. I also heard Combi makes a smaller car seat but I am not to familiar with them.
We currently have Britax Marathons for each of our kids and they are huge. There is no way to fit another car seat or infant carrier in the back with these two seats.
I too would love to know your combination of using the Radian and your infant seat.

I just fit three into the second row of my '08 Toyota Highlander. The Graco Snugride is the infant seat on the right. Radian 65 in the middle, and a booster seat, the Graco Turbo I think is what it's called, on the right. I think the Radian 65 would fit on the right next to the other one just fine. But that's in a Highlander. Those Britax's are just too big. We have two Boulevards, and have loved them, though.

	Graco Turbo Booster - Click for more info The Graco TurboBooster Safe Seat (Step 3) is a sporty and detailed booster seat. The headrest is made of EPS foam for support and side-impact protection, which is now the standard for booster seats. The head support is height adjustable, and the seat can be converted into a backless booster for older kids. The adjustable armrests are a nice touch that add comfort and support for your growing child. We were a little surprised by how thin the padding was on the "Lazy Daisy" version of this seat (the Fairfax TurboBooster has padded armrests and additional GracoPedic memory foam in the seat).
