Diono Radian, Combi Coccoro, Safety 1st Onside Air are all pretty narrow. You'll want to find a store to test the 3 seats you choose in your car before you buy. Ironically, 2 Radians plus another seat would not work in our car (neither would 3 Radians). Having one Radian made a huge difference in the install of the other two seats though.

I believe Combi has the narrowest infant carrier. But again, you'll want to test in your car first. And sometimes when a seat doesn't work in one position, it will work in another. You'll want to play with it and make sure they are all installed correctly and tightly (and independently, you don't want one to be tight just because it is next to another seat).

In our Fiesta we can do a Graco Turbobooster (highback mode) for our 5 year old, Safety 1st Onside Air in the middle for our 22 month old, and Diono Radian for our 3.5 year old. The only seat that is installed using LATCH is the Onside Air (borrowing the two anchors, which is allowed in that car). That helps prevent accidental unbuckling when our 5 year old is getting in and out of his seat. Once our 3.5 year old moves to a booster (we won't move him until he's ready, probably when he's 5-6) we'll give the Radian to DD and get rid of the Onside Air. Hopefully she won't outgrow the Onside Air before then. [/quote]
