Some booster seats are ok for kids as small as 18 months, and they are
narrower than most car seats. Plus, when you pick them up, the seat part
flaps down, so that you can lie all three of them flat in the boot
(seats, not kids!) when you need the back seat for bigger people.

Our Graco booster seats were from Argos.
