Yep, there is like two brands that specialize in three across.

A lot of new parents haven't yet realized that a carseat is wider than the average adult. Meaning that cramped middle seat isn't getting a third seat without very careful consideration and the right vehicle.

Diono and Clek, for those who are curious.

It's coming to mainstream seats though. Graco has had the Slimfit3 LX out for a couple years now; we had 6 (3-across in a Toyota Corolla and Honda Fit) and they worked great except for the kids not really liking them. Britax has the Poplar and One4Life Slim; Chicco apparently added the Fit3x when I wasn't looking.

Why didn't your kids like them?

They're narrower and hence more cramped. My kids feel like they don't give enough shoulder and arm room.

The one we use is diono but there may be others, and apparently in the UK you can get 4 across - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AEwtjK-U5X0 or https://www.multimac.com - not rated for the USA, but in the USA if you have 4 kids they just issue you an APC ;)

A Honda Odyssey can fit three car seats across in the middle row. A Jeep Wrangler 4 door can fit three car seats across in the back seat.
