Slim/narrow car seats

[FunWithFlagz]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some narrow car seats. We’re getting a Dacia Jogger and the rear seats are big enough for our 12 and 13 year olds. This means we can have the 3 youngest in the middle row in their high back booster seats. I’d love to find seats that are narrow enough to have 3 in a row. Does such a thing exist? Thanks in advance!

Best thing to do is usually go to a big shop selling different car seats and try them out - it's often to do with whether the shapes fit together, rather than the actual width of them.

If you have a specialist nearby such as the in car safety centre, midlands car seat centre etc as well that is very helpful.

I spent a lot of time researching this recently as I needed to fit two across but have the third seat able to pull forwards for access to the boot seats.

as you can see in the pictures and blurb they reckon you can get 3 in.

budget friendly options are Harmony and Nania car seats which are very narrow.

i found Halfords was useful for accurately sizing the bases as well as the top width.

There are many articles such as this one with narrow car seat options.

the car seat lady is great though

and you can look up your car make and options for it.

Thanks both!

The Car Seat Lady is American though, so different car seats than they have here.

The Nania and Harmony ones have very low backs so worth knowing as they won't last long enough for an older child. Also the Trio has extremely poor belt fit when used as a booster, so not recommended at all.
