I need to get 3 boosters in the back row of my minivan, but they don't fit. Are there any really thin boosters?

I already have several so its annoying to buy new bc money is tight, but it seems I have to...

Suggestions?

The mifold was found to not be safe. It's as if you aren't using a booster according to someone I know who works with car seats for a living.

Diono radian. Expensive but really really good and suitable for all ages and stages.

When we needed to figure this out, we looked into all of these options. DH felt uncomfortable with the BubbleBum as it seemed very flimsy and unstable. Wedged between two other seats, maybe - but it just seems like it will topple over. We ended up spending the (lot of) extra money on the Diono Radian, and are very happy, even though it was a strain at the time.

I'm assuming you mean narrow, not thin. Thin to me is likely flimsy, while you could squish three narrow seats into a back seat.

Yes, narrow is a much better word!

This is for a 10 yo who isn't 4"9 yet...she doesn't need a huge $250 carseat like the radion. Those other ones look pretty flimsy though, I agree! I'm pretty unsure what to do.

The Safety 1st Incognito may work, depending on what it is puzzled with. It's for 60 lbs and up.

Does a 10 year old still need a car seat?
My son is turning 8 soon and won't need his high back booster...

If he isnt 4"9 yet, he does. There r age and weight limits too... Look it up. Laws vary by state.

Oh, the bubble bum IS safe -- my 10.5 yo was using one on our 1500 mile roadtrip over the last week and a half. Smile Wedged in between a rear facing convertible seat and a window; it was the only one that would work there for him!

As far as state laws, I don't know ANY that require a 10 yo to be in a booster. The laws are usually similar to something that says "8 years OR 4' 9" " (meaning whichever comes first), but we know safety is not necessarily covered by all legislation. Most kids past the age of 8 will not pass the 5 step test to be out of a booster (google it). My 12 yo recently passed it, but all vehicles are different, and he passed it in some seats (even in the same vehicle!) before others over the past year.
