    Hi
    I know this has been asked in the past but the best post response I read was on a gen 3. I am wondering what success people have had with getting 3 car seats in the back of a prius. We tried (unsuccessfully) with our current carseats. 1 britax boulevard FF (for my 4 year old 29 lb daughter), 1 britax marathon RF (for my 15 month 18 lb daughter) and 1 graco snugride 35 (for the new baby on his/her way). Any idea if we swap out the boulevard for a radian and the snugride for a maxi cosi mico if this combo might work? Or any other car seat combos that have worked keeping in mind that I need to have 2 RF and 1 FF!

    What is the size of the back seat for a 2008 prius?

    try 2 booster seats with the newborn seat..I have 3 boys and thats was what we had to do the first 2 years of my youngest...brothers are now 6 and 7....both brothers weigh only 35 and 43 pounds so they're small.

    I can't do boosters for my girls, in Canada you have to weigh 45 lbs for a booster. They are far from that. I want my 18lb little girl to be rear facing as long as possible.

    Our daughter had three RadianXT child seats, in the back of a Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Matrix clone), and then in a Pilot. They researched them pretty good, believe it was the narrowest seat available.
