Three cars seats will fit across the middle seat. I've found the best fit is to use two Britax and one of the narrower Sunshine Kids seats or two Sunshine Kids and one Britax. Either way will work but the different sizes of the seats helps them line up a bit better than using three of the same

good to know, i wonder if the new model will be a little wider or not

looking at the design of the headrest it may push in the back of the seat too much....

i have a recaro pro ride, prosport and a chico small baby seat that clicks in , so a variety

its too bad there isnt the click in clasp on all 3 seats,

I have two sunshine-80, and can still fold one of the seat to access the third row. So three sunshine-80 should fit just fine
