Need to rent a car for a few days in Ireland. Must take 3 car seats - one forward facing (stage 2??) with 5 point harness for DD who is 2 and 2 booster seats (the travel trunki ones) for DS's. Car hire is so expensive but the ford fiesta (hatchback one) is just in budget but will I cram them in? A bit desperate so please, any advice greatly recieved.

That does thanks as I'm sure the boosters are not as wide? Just think I'm going to have to take a gamble...

The trunki seats are really narrow. If you play with the order they should fit. Could you go into a ford dealer near you and try it?

oh trunki ones are slim - you should be fine our older one is around the same size as the smaller 2 - yy to trying it out in a ford dealer
