3 in a 2009 Subaru Outback

[mtnmama]

I'm new to this forum, so I hope I'm posting this correctly.

We bought our first new car, a 2009 Subaru Outback that would easily fit my 6'5" hubby, tall 28 month old (approx. 34 lbs. and 39" tall), and me 5'5". Then we found out that we're having twins!

Now we need to fit 3 across. My son is currently in a monstrous convertible that needs to be replaced. From what I've read, I can put him in a slimmer booster based on his size, but I also have the convertible option. Therefore, I need to fit a FF booster or convertible and 2 RF infant seats in the back. I was going to go for a convertible for the twins, but I figured the back would stick out too far in the RF position, and my tall husband wouldn't be able to sit in the car. I've read that the Chicco KeyFit Infant Seats could serve us well, but we're still having trouble with my son's new seat. Any suggestions? We're planning on putting him in the middle.

Thank you in advance!

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

	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?

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law. Ready to buy a Booster Seat? Please support our sponsor!
