Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
If so ,what kind of car do you have?
( and Do you have a large stroller in it as well? )
We need to get a new car /Van/Truck soon as we cannot fit 3 car seats nor a large stroller in my car but the options seem so limited??
The caravans/Mini vans are ok for space, but we need the back row for one car seat and then theres barely any room for a double/triple stroller in the back??
ETA- Or a van with a 2nd row for all 3 not captain seats.
TIA!!

How do you have the 3 seats arranged? My issue is not wanting to really put anyone in the third row.

Re: Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
I don't but I would just go to the dealerships with a car seat and test it out. I think you might have this problem with all of the minivans because the middle is usually meant for 2 passengers. I would try the Toyota Sienna - according to a car website it should be able to take 3 car seats in the middle row.

It was very cramped with them in the second row so I moved the 3rd car seat in the third row and pulled the middle seat out of the 2nd row so I have a pathway to walk back to buckle my nephew

My SIL has the Toyota Sienna and has all 3 kids in the middle row (1 carseat and 2 booster seats) And she has plenty of room in the back even with the 3rd row up.

Re: Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
I have a Chrysler town and Country and there is more than enough room for 3 carseats and I was able to fit a double stroller in the back with room to spare.

Re: Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
I have the Kia Sedona and we keep the 3rd row up and I have plenty of back room for the double stroller as well as other things. It has a well. The seat is also a 40/60 split so you can put part of it down and keep the rest up.
It's been a great van to have.

It might be the Yukon because one of the mom's from DS's class has her older DD (DS's age) then twins that will be 1 next month. She has a convertible (might be a britax) in the middle and on either side infant carriers. She never used a triple stroller so I am not sure how that would fit in the trunk but she fits the 3 carseats across.

We have a Grand Caravan. The seats are stowe and go which has been priceless. the truck dips down so you have a good amount of room and we can easily fit a double stroller in the truck. I love the Grand Caravan and would suggest that you just take a look. It's great for three kids.

A mom I know gets 3 seats in Toyota Avalon.
My aunt had 3 under 3, she bought a barely used grand marquis for super cheap, that trunk fit everything.

My gf has twins and a toddler and has the same minivan. She is super happy with it but she does use her 3rd row for her toddler and puts her twins in the 2nd row. She still fits her strollers in the truck without a problem.

Re: Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
I do!
I have 2 infant seats and one car seat for my 17 month old (at one point we had 3 infant seats).
I drive a 2009 MDX. If you are looking at MDX make sure any year prior to 2009 fits all 3.
Good luck. FM me if you have ANY questions regarding twins and an older child. I have lots of tips!
Stay well!

Re: Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
sorry.... I had to add.....
I looked at many cars and found that an SUV was as easy as a minivan to arrange the seats. I am not much of a mini-van type of person (nothing against anyone who is) so an SUV fit MY needs better.

Re: Does anyone have 3 car seats in their car?
I have a 2008 chevy Tahoe and I have an infant carrier and the Britax convertible car seat. While I do not have a third carseat there is definitely room in the second row for the third seat - it might be tight but doable. In my trunk I have a double stroller, a single stroller and an umbrella stroller so the triplet stroller would definitely fit. There may not be room for much else, but it is doable.
