combination to fit 3 seat on back row??

[outinthesticksmummy]

Okay, I am getting in such a muddle!!

Have a Zafira new model with 3 full seat belts in the back row. Am expecting twins in July, when my DD will be 3. She is currently in a Britax Renaissance, but she weighs over 15kg and is 103cm tall. Was planning on putting the twins in Graco seats with autobases.

How the bloody hell do i squeeze that lot in!! Have tried it with Renaissance in the middle but seems too tight, so now have Renaissance on the outside with my Graco in the middle - am borrowing other Graco from a friend to see if it all fits, but all seems a bit "snug" to me.

Any suggestions?? Do you reckon renaissance is just too bulky?? would she be safe in the next stage car seat which looks narrower, but not sure about just using normal seat belt?? what about the 9 mths to 11yr seats?? narrower? safe??

help!

Check the Britax fit finder websites. IIRC many of their seats can't be used on back row (as opposed to middle row) of a Zafira. Can't remember which ones though.

oops sorry! meant middle row, duh! pregnancy brain again

Congrats on Twins BTW. I have 6yo twins and a 22m DD - I fit 3 seats (currently a rennaissance & 2 highbacks; previously a graco & 2 highbacks) in my Picasso.

You will be fine as long as the seats aren't touching, and TBH I think you will have more problems when the DTs get into stage 1 seats as they will be wider that your graco's.
