alt Hacker NewsIt's definitely possible to put 3 car seats across in the back seat of pretty much any car available in the American market. The appropriate narrow seats just aren't very popular or well known...

Even the supposed narrow ones can be a pain in the arse to actually get in the back.
Every family I see with at least 2 kids has a minivan, so maybe we can discuss if minivans are causal.

Only for some North American models. The narrow seats are mandatory to even try but even then some cars are 3-4 inches too narrow door to door.
I didn't come across those narrow seats when we looked into solution for fitting two kids and an adult (grandma) in the back row.
So we went for (especially in Europe) rather limited subset of cars where all 3 of the 2nd row seats are proper sized, with Isofix on each of them.
Usually same makes/models that offer the option of additional 2 seats in the 3rd row.
