To all the current and future baby carriers...

Two car seats (Diono Radian 3RXT Safe+ and an Uppababy Vista) successfully fitting in passenger/middle seats. Passenger seat is not quite fully back but around 90%. My wife's 5'3 so she can afford to even pull the seat up a little more if she needed.

When my newborn gets big enough will have 2nd Diono in the middle and will fit just fine. If/when a 3rd comes along, fitting the Diono behind my Slammed seat will definitely be a bit of a challenge, but overall I'm happy with the Gladi's ability to hold multiple babies.

As an added bonus, if youre really looking to baby-out your Gladi, I just bought this Carhartt seat back organizer for spare diapers, wipes, pacifiers, and more ?

Just to add to this - Clek Foonf will also fit next to each other in the back seat.

Good info to have!!

When your kids get to be about 3ish to 4 you can put them in the Mifold hifold seat. It takes up very little space. I have one for my 5 year old and a Nuna Rava for the 3 year old. He will soon be moving to a Hifold in a few months and when we have a 3rd that will go in the middle, will probably be the Nuna. Mifold has some really compact boosters for kids over 4.

I have a Diono 3R and got it due to it being the "narrower" 3 across option. Not my favorite for the Gladiator when forward facing due to the strap release mechanism behind the seat. It is gymnastics with your arm to get it to release the strap with the very little room you have with the seat back released. So it stays in my wife's GC.

When you say strap release, are you talking about the shoulder straps? Or when you have to remove the seat entirely from the truck?

Entirely from the truck. I take them out fairly regularly to clean or get stuff under the rear seats or behind the seats, especially while traveling/camping to store stuff. The last time it was in the truck and I needed to get it out, it took about 10-15 minutes to get it out. It eventually landed about 20 feet from the truck due to frustration while neighbors and family watched. The Nuna has a different way of releasing the strap to get extra to then release from the hook.

The Nuna (forget model) also fits fairly easily left or right. Haven’t tried middle.
