Hi Everyone,

I may need to have 3 kids in the back of my Ford so wondered if anyone can recommend a good narrow car seat ? Don't really want to put the kids in the front seat as air bag can't be disabled (well it can but only if I pay a lot of money to Ford) !! Thank you :)

ive managed to get 3 in the back of my fiat stylo. i have one mothercare recliing 0-4 seat and 2 nania beline high back boosters with 5 point harnesses so i have the full range for all ages! lol.

i got the nanias from ebay (new of course as wouldnt but second hand seats!) they are only £35 and they look nice too. can get similar in argos i think.

I have a britax prince group 1 car seat which has a narrow base and is light to take in and out.
For those that have a middle lap belt it can be used with that as well as a 3 point belt.
I also have nania boosters and sometimes another britax group 1 seat although it is wider.

Have a read of the above link - depending on the age of the children you may be able to get away with not having a child seat in the middle space. (Might need a permission form from parents just to cover yourself though I guess?!)

I've got the same problem, I need to replace my Maxi Cosi high backed boosters with something narrower.

Sorry, don't think it's the right link, took me to what we can claim for against our tax?

depending on what age you are carrying, the £15 ASDA booster seats for older kids, use with normal seatbelt fit in back of my Matrix very well, I can seat three children.

I had the same problem as my back seats are sport shaped so the normal graco boosetr cishion wouldn't lie flat, in the end I happened across some in B&M that are just the job, narrow and sleek looking and they all match (:clapping: ) plus they were only a fiver each!!!!!!

I bought 6, think the girl on the till thought I'd gone crackers!!!!!
