Nissan pulsar N14 1994 5 door Could 2 booster seats (the tall winged kind) and a babyseat fit in the back? I am going to sell my beloved Nissan Maxima to save money on running costs as driving all over to uni, school, kindy, childcare, physio and swiming this year is going to add up and I think it would be better to downgrade for awhile. So looking at finding a cheaper small car, I want to know if I had too could 3 seats fit in it? Probably not but ah well. Do you know of any smallish cheap to cars that can?

We have a Corolla and even with the narrowest seats/boosters/capsules on the market you just can't fit 3 in the back of our car. Can you get the internal dimensions of the car and do some internet research?

Im wondering if there are any cars that can fit 3 that are cheapish to buy and run, just seems like pain to get a bigger car, just in case. I could just get small one anyway and swap again later if I need to in a year or so.

apparently you can get slim car seats but only online, they aren't mass stocked in baby stores yet, I have to do a bit more research 1st but apparently it is possible, but not in a rav4 lol

We have a Holden Barina sedan, with 3 seats. 4 year old sits in middle in a S&S Hi-Liner SG baby RF in S&S Meridian 2.5 year old in Mothers Choice Emperor. We are planning on getting a new car next year, so are hoping that the Meridian will still be fine FF until then once we turn it.
