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.

age range car seats

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
