Can I fit three booster seats in the back bench of my Dodge Grand Caravan?

I have a 2001 dodge Grand caravan with two bucket seats and a back
bench. My four children (all in car seats/boosters) fit fine, but I
don't have room for a friend. Does anyone know if it is possible to
fit 2 boosters and a car seat in the back bench? Since there is no
shoulder strap in the center of the bench, I would have to put a car
seat there, and two boosters on either side. The car seats and
boosters i own, however, do not fit on the bench all together. Does

If you have enough proper seat belts to properly use with the seats, and if
they all fit on the seat without falling off or something, then why not?

She said the ones she has *don't* fit.

My suggestion is if you don't have room for a friend, then your friend needs
to take their own vehicle. I can't fit any friends in my car with my kids
in, so friends and the like need their own way around, as I am not a taxi,
and to attempt to accommodate others if it's unsafe or illegal is not my
bouquet of roses.

You'll have to measure and see if you can find
other carseats and boosters that are acceptable to you
that will fit. You'll have a hard time getting three
across in most cars/vans. The backless boosters tend to
be a bit smaller, and some carseats are narrower than
others. It's very tight quarters with three in child
restraints across the back, though, and the carseats/
boosters you'd need to make it fit might be too small
for the kids (depending on the size of your kids).
