How do you get 3 car seats in the back of an estate car help!

Ok this must be possible, we are NOT buying a new car

I have a nearly 4 year old who weighs 15 kg and I think she can now have a booster seat? do they make skinny ones? I then have a 2 year old who has a fat-ish maxi cosi car seat, then an 8 week old baby who has a Jane backward facing one.

Please help, I cannot continue sitting in the back squeezing my large bottom inbetween them! family outings are not funny!

I can fit 3 into a Ford Focus estate when my nephew is with us. I use the seats that still have a 5 point harness but will then convert into seat belt seats and then boosters...got from Argos but can't find online. They are narrow (so are my kids).

My 4 year old does have a booster for occasional use at my mum's but she is too small really and I would nbot use it for long journeys as they can't sleep in them.

Always put the baby seat in the middle as this seems to work best....

Thanks! yes, I meant booster seat with back? not just a cushion thingy, mmmm maybe a trip to Halfords calls!

That's what it turns into but it has a 5 point harness too which is much better than just the seatbelt.

This is the one we have argos
These look narrow too...

what kind of car do you have?
so long as you have a full 3-point seatbelt in the middle of the back seat you should manage it.
i can fit 2 high-backed boosters and a maxi-cosi baby seat in the back of my little mg.
