    Hey yall, Does anyone have any experience with 2 car seats in the back seat and one booster seat in the back? We have a 5 yr old (booster seat) an 11 month old and well....one more on the way. Trying to decide of its feasible to keep the Yota or trade up for a Sequoia or something. I appreciate all the help and for those that have done this before please post pictures of your set up.

    Yeah we will have 2 rear facing one one small booster seat for the middle. Nor sure how it's going to work since I have to have my seat all the way back so I can fit in the truck.....

    Thing 2 will be forward facing soon. I have noticed that forward facing seats can be a bit slimmer.
    I don't think you will have any issues. Maybe just in the beginning it will be a bit tight.
    I am ready to move my two y.o. to a 3 in 1. The seat he has now is really deep.

    Yeah we just bought this for our son who's now 11 months and weights 27 lbs. so his car seat is pretty big.

    Looks quite narrow though. May work pretty good.
    My son has a Britax in his mother's car. It is a very deceiving seat.
    Looks big and bulky but actually fits best out of any of our seats.
    I like the one you got too. Why did you choose that one?

    Only front facing. My wife has her set closer to the dash than mine by about 4 or 5 inches or so.

    We usually keep the small booster seat on the drivers side and the rear facing infant seat on the passenger side.

    My wife wanted it.....3 days after we bought it a dodge 3500 smashed my truck and our son was safe so she was happy that we got it. I guess when it come to our kids safety I'm willing to spend a little more for the best.

    Ok. Didn't know if there was something that stood out about it.
    Yeah, I feel the same way. There is no price for safety.
    That is where I am at right now, looking at new 3in1s.
    Want to find the best one for the truck.
    Thanks for the info.

    I have three car seats. One rear facing one front facing and a booster in the back of mine. Even have enough room to buckle and unbuckle without pinching my fingers.
