Hi All,
We're headed on vacay next year! :applause:
I'm thinking of getting a Ford Escape type of car. Will this fit a Graco booster, Britax Marathon, and leave enough room in the middle for my 90 pound son (size 12 jeans)?

If not, I'd appreciate any other suggestions for "class" of car. Mini-van is no-go, too expensive!

Thanks for your help -
Jennifer

Yeah, I'm guessing MA in the middle, and Turbo might be buckle-able next to it (might have to slide the whole seat out out, buckle, then slide it back in toward the middle of the car), and a skinny butt on the other side should be fine :wink2:

Remember that you might not actually get a Ford Escape, and even among "similar vehicles," there is a lot of variation in what car seats will fit well! You might have better luck with a full-size sedan. Also you might think about getting a bubble bum booster to take in place of the turbo. Good luck!

Thanks! Always such great information here. I didn't know that I'd get more width across a full size sedan than a SUV!
