Eldest doesn't need a seat, the other two do. I only fit the eldest in because she sort of fits behind the two baby seats because her shoulders are low enough to fit inside the moulded part of the seat where its hollow, if you get what I mean. There isn't enough space *between* the two baby seats to fit her shoulders, she's too wide. Baby seats are amazingly wide at the top, and we have the 'compact' models so we can't buy narrower.

The kids are 10, 3 and 11 months.

Kind of need to get this clarified although it is a bit academic, if the biggest one grows while the middle one is still 3 and needs a baby seat we simply won't be able to travel at all. She's been growing about 5-7cm each year so the odds of this are really high. Next year when the middle one is 4 hopefully we can find a toddler seat that is narrow at the top.

Government issued "do not travel" card right there. My car is too small for 3 kids as soon as the biggest one gets too tall and I know I can't get a car loan unless we sell the house (currently 100% maxed on borrowing). If I sell the house I don't need a car loan. Argh.
