I need to fit 3 car seats in rear seat - anyone know of any slim car seats for 2 & 4 year old?

If you have sculpted seats you are limited by their design and position of seat belts anyway. Narrowest Stage 1 one I've found is Britax Freeway or Eclipse. How heavy is 4 yr old , stage 1 or booster seat?

I'd prefer a seat with a back on it rather than just a booster cushion. The one we have detaches and becomes a booster seat but has quite wide arm rests. The seats aren't very sculpted its just fitting 3 along side each other

ok.... i only have a 1999 renault clio...

and after much jiggling ive realised i CAN fit in the back a Britax Renaissance (9kg - 18 kg) a Britax highliner(15kg - 36kg) ((booster with a back) and a Britax Horizon (booster cushion whoch JUST fits in the middle (now suggested for 6 years +) also the one on the booster in the middle is surrounded by otehr car seats that could lean head on to sleep etc.

BTW doing it in practise IS a nightmare....

the only way i can do it is 'baby' first on 1 side, middle child next on other side... the largest child climbs across (bear in mind I am also in the back now along woth 2 strapped in kids) and sits on seat and i spend about 5 miutes feeling around to get the buckle in the clicker.... but it DOES work.... eventually!
