A slim all-in-one seat from birth to belt-positioning booster that can fit three across and stays light for its class. The booster mode tops out at a lower weight than the harness range might suggest, so plan ahead.

Overview
A compact back seat shared by siblings is where the TriMate earns its place, measuring narrow enough to fit three across. It moves through rear-facing, forward-facing and booster modes, with a memory-foam infant insert for small babies.
A narrow, fairly light seat that covers birth to booster suits families with several kids or small cars. Booster use ends at a weight limit families with bigger kids should check, and the infant insert detail is brief.
Who it's for
Growing families with tight back seats get the most from its slim build. Families planning booster use for heavier older children should check the booster limits first.
Pros and cons
- Slim for three-across
- Covers birth to booster
- No-rethread one-hand harness
- Memory-foam infant insert
- Booster mode ends at a modest weight
- Width given without cup holders
Performance notes
Fit in tight cars comes from the narrow shell, while the three-position base helps match the seat angle to the vehicle. The harness and headrest adjust together with one hand, so the fit follows the child without rethreading.
