...week old daughter a Radian...? She is growing out of her infant seat. The radian is rear facing up to 33 lbs so I've heard. I have 2 boys who are in booster seats and currently I am able to fit the 3 carseats we currently have across the backseat of my 05 Nissan Altima. A van isn't in the budget for another couple of months but my daughter is 17 lbs already and almost to big for her infant seat so I MUST move up.
I've heard it is difficult to get some radians rear facing in cars. Has anyone had luck with a Nissan Altima or similar car? She would be in the middle seat.

Hey Frau,

My kiddos are about 11 months now and 2 of the 3 have been in the Radians since mid-Nov (the third went in about a month ago). We don't spend a lot of time in the car, but every time they are in them, they do go to sleep and are sound enough that upon arrival I can remove them and not have them wake. As far as 3 across, I have 3 across (rear facing) the second row of my '09 Sienna, and I was able to get all 3 across (rear facing) in my 2003 Nissan Altima (before we got the van). The place I bought them from (local) gave me a 15% discount for buying 3 at once. Good luck with your decision.

ETA: knittingmarie, I think your plan sounds good.
