Sunshine Kids Radian65 Convertible

Best Price: $219.00

from www.amazon.com
it's narrow enough to allow for 2 other passengers to sit in the backseat of the car (the carseat is in the back middle).
from www.amazon.com
since it sits straight up, i wouldn't want to use this as our every-day car seat (not too comfy for sleeping) but it's great for a second vehicle or where there isn't much room in the backseat.
from www.amazon.com
however, the narrowness of the seat is a big plus when it was used in a 2-door with a small backseat.
from www.amazon.com
it fits very nicely in our backseat, and we love how it folds flat for travel.
from www.amazon.com
i have two in my backseat of my honda accord and there is almost enough room between them for another seat (though i haven't tried this yet so i can't be sure).

Sunshine Kids Radian 80

Best Price: $215.00

from www.target.com
(i drive a wolkswagon passat.) during our research of this car seat we found reviews of people with three forward facing seats in the backseat of a honda accord.
from www.amazon.com
i like the streamlined nature of it (other passengers can sit comfortably in my backseat with the carseat installed).
from www.amazon.com
the mesh fabric stays dry and cool even on the hottest days, there's plenty of leg room even in the rear-facing position, and this whole seat fits (albeit snuggly) in the backseat of my 2004 saturn
from www.amazon.com
i installed this car seat rear-facing in the middle of the backseat of our 1999 toyota camry.
from www.amazon.com
there are some issues that you will need to be aware of but i don't know of any alternatives on the market for the size for anyone trying to fit 3 kids in the backseat of a car.

Britax Regent Sahara

Best Price: $250.00

Britax Marathon

Best Price: $231.00

from www.amazon.com
although technically the seat is larger, it takes up less space on the backseat of our x5, leaving more space for passengers.
from www.amazon.com
it is rather large, but it fits into a smallish a4 backseat, granted the front seat is almost as far up as it can be.
from www.amazon.com
the seat was already extremely secure without it, but it gives us peace of mind that the seat won't fold up against the backseat in a crash.
from www.amazon.com
this one is a bit large for a smaller car...it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for more than one more person in the backseat.
from www.amazon.com
some backseats didn't seem to accomodate it as well, and it would rest at an odd angle no matter how we repositioned it.

from www.amazon.com
we had no problems with instalation, although we did have to place an adjustor under our seat to compensate for the backseat's incline.

do not be dissuaded by a previous users post that she could push the seat up and back against the backseat of the car.
from www.amazon.com
it is also very secure in the backseat.

however, my car's backseat slopes a lot, creating a sharp angle that threw the car seat's angle off by a lot.

another plus, is that it seems a little narrower (although still very roomy), so the backseat of our passat wagon is less crowded than with the eddie bauer.
