Bolts are there for security and stability, most modern cars right now have different reinforcements but still they incorporate bolts to support these reinforcements. I got a large Mr Gasket Bolt for my car seats because my toddlers are too playful.

| Hi. I have a 2 and a half year old and 8 week old twins. We have a 2006 model hatchback Mazda 6 which we can fit 3 car seats in. We have a Mother's Choice car seat for our toddler, and 2 Compaq car seats for the twins. The Compaq's were $320 each from Bubs Baby Shops but they are slimmer in design to other baby car seats on the market, so all 3 car seats fit in no worries!

| Hi there- we went for a Toyota Tarago- mainly for the 8 seats and the good reputation they have- reliable and economical. There are many cars out there to choose from- so goodluck. I found it weird driving my tarago after driving a hatchback for 13yrs- I felt like i was driving a TANK in the military- LOL- I am used to it now and I enjoy sitting up higher off the ground.... LOL I have a 5.5yo and a 3.5yo who sit on the backseat in their booster seats. In the row of seats behind the parental seats(driving&passenger) we have our 15mo twin girls. The car can seat 8 people- so we have a gap between each set of kids for toys,books, etc.

| It is surprising which cars can actually fit 3 car seats. Our 2003 Subaru Outback (a very narrow midsize car) could fit 2 Infa Vario Kid boosters and a Safe N Sound Compaqs. Our 2010 Subaru Liberty could fit a Safe N Sound Meridian AHR and 2 Safe N Sound Hi Liners. My advice is not to simply measure the back seat and assume nothing can fit because, for example, in our Liberty, the middle seat has a hump that pushes the middle car seat forward slightly so 3 seats, that seem like they shouldn't be able to fit based on a simple calculation, do actually fit. If you can visit a Baby shop or Kidsafe (in Queensland or ACT), you can actually try it out and you might be surprised to find something that fits. I managed to get 3 Safe N Sound Compaqs into a Hyundai Getz! I didn't think it would work but I happened to have 3 Compaqs and a friend who was pregnant with twins and already had a toddler dared me to see if I could get them to fit! All combinations probably should be checked by a qualified child restraint fitter though just to make sure. I did come across this site http://www.motherwrites.com/content/which-cars-fit-3-or-more-car-seats which lists some more that can fit 3 or more car seats which may be of interest.
