Is there currently a full size sedan on the market that can fit 3 kid/baby seats in the back row?

Is there a full size sedan that can fit a infant seat/car base, a convertible seat, and a booster seat all in the back seat? I'm trying to avoid buying a SUV, minivan, or crossover.

That's a tricky one. I'd have to take a ruler and measure each one of your child seats, then ask car manufacturers if they had one with the right amount of space. And to be REALLY sure I'd tell you to try fitting them all in before buying the vehicle.
Offhand I can say that there would be many that did not have enough space, and the rest would usually be a pretty tight squeeze.
I cant think of any but maybe a sedan de`ville or a full size Buick like a Park ave. even then safety factor would be compromised
I think the best choice would be a late model Buick park avenue, its a true six seater, and the trunk is huge, plus with its 3.8 v6, its one of the best for economy, 28 29, miles to gal. but regular engine, not super charge, ultra.
They all have 3 safety belts in the back seat. Wouldn't all of them accomodate baby seats? Check with the manufacturer.
Well I would suggest birth control, it is cheaper than a car and can fit in the glove box, thus eliminating the need for three car seats.
But seriously there are two things you need to consider. First, what kinds of car seats are you needing? Are these triplets all the same size? If so, then you may look for the narrowest seats you can like an Evenflo Titan 5. If they kids are different ages then toddler seats are generally more narrow than baby seats. Safety must be taken into account though, most experts agree that the safest place for a child is in the middle of the back seat. In a side impact the door is least likely to strike the child in the middle. In this case you would have to get an SUV of minivan to keep all three children away from the doors.
If you can't get a minivan then just put the children you like the least near the door and your favorite in the middle. (That was a joke)
