What kinda seats do you use?, and what kinda car do you drive? Also do you have a pic to share? Just trying to plan for the future and see what mix of seats I will have to use. I am thinking of the sunshine ones hopefully a newborn can get into that thing. I also like the graco one to, so this is going to be a bit hard. Also I guess I need to know how the sunshine seat do in a toyota Matrix because there seems to not be alot of info online?

  • we have two in my hubs car... they are both the five pt harness seats that change to boosters, gracos i think... i don't think we will ever be able to take his car anywhere after the bean is born, unless we have just two of the kids... he has a PT cruiser. i have a Dodge Journey with third row seating and again we have the two seats in there and will be getting a convertible for the new lil one. but my oldest will be moved to the third row.

    Oh and you can totally sell that gorgeous marathon cover on ebay if you want and make some money off it.

    I'd probably go with Radians for all of them...lol.  You'd be able to rear face all 3 children if it will fit in your vehicle.  If not 3 Radians, I would go with 2 Radians for the two little ones and have them both rear facing and get a Nautilus (if it will fit) or something similar for the 3 yr old forward facing

    yep, and I am sure you will be glad to hear my son who is rf didnt even wake up. lol My dd was awake and acutally knew what was going on she she started screaming like a banchee, and my I got some back issues right now but I am good over all just wish I was in a car seat because both of them are doing alot better than I am. Would it be possible to just get three radians because I like to skip over the carrier if possble both my kids hated those things and grew out if them way to fast. By is is possible I am asking if its safe?

  • In my husbands car we have a cosco serena (for the 2 yr old) and 2 high back boosters (for the 4 and 6 yr olds) he has a 96 dodge intrepid. In my car we have similar seats, but its a van so it fits plenty :)

    Edit to add....they fit with plenty of room, and the boosters are about the size of a carseat so I dont see why 3 reg carseats wouldnt fit as well
