I stopped at Target to get upholstery cleaner to fully cleanse and scrub the back seat and looked at the passenger side floor only to notice that there was a tape measure there, for some strange reason. I picked it up, turned around, and measured the back seat from door handle to door handle. 50 inches, not 48! I knew that the seats I had picked out added up to 48 inches, and with the extra 2 inches they would definitely fit. It took two stops (they only had one at that location, so I had to get the second at another store) but I got them. Here are all three, fully strapped in and 2/3 in use.
And just to show you that beautiful little space between the seat and the door:
I'm so happy it worked! As to the technical bits, the bottom tethers are fully tightened, but the top one isn't--the top anchors are spaced so close together that tightening that one pulls the the tops of the seats inward and the infant seat won't fit. There's still no forward give, though, so it's still doing it's job, it's just not cranked down. And yes, the infant seat will still snap in and out.
