Would you recommend this seat for triplet newborns? Three in a row while rear-facing.

I have twins. I strongly recommend the Graco Snugride 30 Infant Carrier until they are at least six months. You will not want to wake sleeping babies when you get home! And the infant support on the Combi pushes small babies heads forward, which is not good for NICU babies. I speak from experience...I have twins, one was in NICU, and used to foster newborns. I have never had a baby under ten pounds that fit well in this. Three across would be hard to buckle, unless you can reach through the trunk or over the top from the front seat. The buckle pieces have to be overlapped to snap in together at the crotch. That being said, we love this seat for small spaces! My first born used this seat in our sports car for several years. Very light weight and convenient. Can be a pain to install rear facing, if you don't have a tether point. If you buy these, you will want to go to a car seat installation station (check with your hospital). Also, I'll warn you that your babies will likely outgrow these seats by height before they are old enough to use a booster. I ended up buying Britax Boulevards for mine. They have higher quality fabric that is way easier to wipe to clean (you do not want to have to remove the covers when they poop through their clothes or spit up). They also work fine for tiny babies, if you absolutely don't want to purchase infant carriers. Three across all rear facing, all forward facing, and any combination of rear/forward works fine with Britax in our GMC Terrain. Combis are slightly narrower and take up less front to back space, so if you're driving a tiny car, these are for you! If you have a retailer near you, most baby stores will let you take them to the car to try them out. I got a great deal on my Graco carriers at Kohls w/cashback and 30% off. Amazon does occasionally have great deals in the open box section, too. (My other must purchase items for multiples are an Ergobaby Backpack and Podee Feeding System) Congratulations! It will get easier around six months!

I loved the seat, but only had it for one, and didn't use it for her as a newborn. It's certainly one of the smallest footprint seats I've seen. It would not allow you to pop the seat in and out of the car with the baby in it, which one big advantage of the other sort of seat.

Yes, I would. My son was 6lbs. At birth and fit well in this car seat, especially with the insert that's included. We used the car seat rear facing until he was 2 years and 8 months old.

I think it depends on how big they are and how much head control they have. I used it for my first daughter before she could sit up....I loved it. It is something that I plan to use again on my second who is a week old. I will probably try him in it when he is a month or so old to see how he does....it is worth the investment...it also protects the fabric seat well into when they are older.

You need to get a Sunshine Kids (now called Diono) Radian car seat. You can fit 3 across the back of most bench seats (like a minivan or SUV). They also rear-face so will work for your infant. I have 2 of them for my twins.

While I know you can get the insert for the newborn head position protection, I would recommend this seat for a child a little older. I use it rear facing for my now 1 year old, but started with the peg perego viaggio infant seat. Infant seats while only good for the first year are made specifically for their smaller bodies. Perhaps depending on the new born size(5lb or 9lb) may make a difference...though over all this is definitely a wide seat for someone so small. Not to mention the convenience of an infant seat is wonderful! Especially when the baby is asleep and you can take out the whole carrier with out waking them up. =) While I know you can get the insert for the newborn head position protection, I would recommend this seat for a child a little older.

My kids are 16 mo apart, so my older child wasn't huge when the baby was in the infant seat, but they fit great. The back seat reclines enough to make it not feel too cramped. The compact size is awesome, so I definitely wouldn't change it, but as my infant got bigger, his feet would be right at my older child's face. It made it very hard for her not to play with his feet while he was napping in the infant seat :).

Yes! I have three kids and wished I had found this years ago. Watch the video on it too! You can put baby on their belly or back. I thought it was safe and much better than the plastic ones I already used before

Rear facing or FF? I'm not sure on the FF but my daughter just turned three and is pretty tall for her age and still fits RF. We actually have another seat now but I enjoyed the Diono.

No, absolutely not. Children need to be rear facing until a minimum of age two. Check out these links about why rear facing until two is imperative for your baby's safety! http://csftl.org/why-rear-facing-the-science-junkies-guide/ http://csftl.org/rear-facing-car-seat-myths-busted/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8gU9zzCGA8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sssIsceKd6U

Yes, both seats can be reclined to the 3 positions. However note that even in the full recline it is realy just the back that is horizontal even though the picture looks like the whole body is horizontal. So the baby's legs are not lying flat. But should work for a new born. We started using it when my daughter was 4 months. She prefers the stroller seat over her car seat so we hardly used the attachment. Overall a great stroller.

I have mine rear facing for my 13 month son. We mostly have it reclined but can not recline to all positions. I think it would sit up to all the positions but this is not necessary because his head would slump forward. He is reclined enough though. I can adjust it whenever I need and it is already belted into the seat. The annoying thing for us is tightening the dang straps!

Yes. We have two of these seats for both our kids. They've been using them rear-facing from about age 6m and have both since converted for forward-facing. The seat works well both ways. We think this is a good car seat, the kids seem to find it comfortable. They only real downside for us is that they are very wide, so with two of these in the back seat there is not much room left in the middle.

It has great support for a newborn! You do not need anything extra - that's why I went with this car seat! (Baby is 4 weeks now)

Yes, but I believe you are only supposed to use the most reclined position. I think I found the official recommendation on uppa baby's website. We used the snug seat from very early on and liked it. Hope that helps!

I didn't have twins, mine are 18 months apart. You can't have two car seats, not sure how old your twins are. If they are older and sitting normal, i would say it could work. One side is larger than the other, great for a smaller/bigger kid combo. It is flimsy, but it's sturdy enough. If you are looking for a small, easy to maneuver and fold, one that fits in a small car, don't need to infants in there, it's an affordable option.

I am sorry, i did not understand your question. You can change the angle to 3 different position, it is quite stable and comfortable for baby to sit. Just if the baby is heavy and always keep shaking, it would wobble somehow

I has three positions. Laid back, Seated and in between. This is the in between position. The baby stays with its back completely on the back of the seat.
