Booster seats 3 across back seat

Wondering if anyone has put 3 booster seats across in a few different vehicles.

2006-new Chev Impala
2008-new Chev Malibu
2004-new Chev Trailblazer
2005-new Dodge Charger
2005-new Dodge Durango
2006-new Pontiac GP


Any experience would be great thanks.

Re: Booster seats 3 across back seat

No experience with more than 2 car/booster seats at a time, but how are you planning on "installing" the 3 booster seats? If you're counting on the LATCH system, you might find you can't get all 3 hooked into the center 2 buckles. But if you're going with regular seatbelt installation, you might be OK. I think a lot of it will depend on the specific booster seats you're using... they are all sooooooo different.

No just regular booster seats. Belt positioning booster seats no backs.

Re: Booster seats 3 across back seat

I'd assume the SUVs will have an easier time fitting 3 boosters than the cars will, but those are larger cars, so you may be fine. Just keep in mind that sitting in a booster also stretches kiddos' legs out straight further, so make sure you have enough room in back so they can't kick the front seats too readily.

(aka my boyfriend's son can put his foot next to my headrest in the Subaru while in his booster seat which brings the SUCK!)

Re: Booster seats 3 across back seat

Just an update in case anyone is looking in the future.

The Malibu was too small for two boosters and on child in the middle without a booster.

The GP would do two boosters with on child in the middle without a booster, but it was really tight.

The Impala would do three boosters across, but it was pretty tight.

The Charger out of the cars I found to be the biggest. Three boosters across is pretty comfortable.

Just keep in mind that booster vary and fit differently based on width and angle of the base.

Re: Booster seats 3 across back seat

I haven’t experienced what you have stated in this post because I am that person who resides in the location which is far behind from the technology present in the market. Therefore I can’t help you in the way you want.
