Hi,
I need help with juggling 3 seats. I have a 5yo-33# and 43", 3yo-35# and 39", and a 1 yo 17#. We have a Sienna minivan 2005 8 passenger which had Britax Marathon, Britax RA and Graco Snugride. Got rid of the snugride, put the RA rearfacing and bought 2 new Britax Regents. The problem is our second car, 2001 Suburu Legacy wagon which we only use about 1-2x per month to transport all 3 but have to have 3 seats (for work,daycare,doctor's appt unexpected trips, etc). It has a Graco Ultracargo, Graco snugride and Britax RA (all of which barely fit but worked). I tried the RA rearfacing with the Britax Marathon and the Ultracargo - no go, won't even come close to fitting. I'd like to keep the Marathon at least. Seems like a narrow BPB like the Britax Starriser is worth a shot, but I really would like to keep all kids in 5 pts. I've read posts about the SK Radian, which imply it would fit, but the specs say 17" (the Ultracargo is 17" and the Marathon is 18" and they don't fit)and given the price, I hate to take the chance (not to mention I just spent $500 for the Regents). I'm thinking there must be some way to juggle all these seats and hopefully only buy one new seat for the Suburu. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
