    Have you seen the Multimac? They’re not cheap at around €2000, but neither is trading up.

    I think the new born seat is going to be your issue. The rivemove adaptor may work on 1 side but i dont think they are designed to work with baby seats.

    I know there are narrow car seats available but doudt if they will fit if you intend using the isofix points for the babyseat.

    Have a read of the link attached and i believe there is a face book group that has good info as well.

    We have. We originall had two Minikids and a Maxi Cosi Cabriofix belted (now have one Minikid and two narrow high back boosters as the kids are older). You won't fit three in with Iso fix. There's a good facebook that lists all the narrow seats and has pictures of cars with 3 accross. The likes of Tony Kealys would be good for advice as well.

    Went through this pain 6 years ago.... had an octavia but tried every combination of seats. We couldnt find three that fitted safely in the back. Only option was one in front rear facing, 2 in back. Also checked a load of other cars (Supber, passat, suvs) and then traded for a full 3 seat mpv (carens) which held all three comfortably.

    You might fit three car seats in, but they wont sit properly and you will have huge amount of frustration trying to plug in belts. Multimac is an option, quite expensive and you need to check insurance covers it.
