    Hi – there are a few carseats on the market that are geared for this.

    First – you didn’t give ages. Currently, we are really pushing parents to rear face their children to age 2 (or beyond). I know this is a bit of a foreign concept to people – but just check out this video on youtube before you immediately knock it.

    Also – I would need some more info about the car – make/model/year.

    The “thin” seats on the market are:

    Combi Corroco – 33lb rear facing limit but a remarkably deep shell for a small seat – 40lb forward facing limit – good choice for infants moving out of the infant seat – but not the best choice for an older toddler.

    Sunshine Kids Radian (nice tall top harness slots of 18-19″, 65 or 80lb limit depending on make/model, thin and it has an 8 year expiration (it’s all steel), its heavy, and it can be difficult to install depending on your make/model), great choice for older toddlers or to rear face kids longer

    Graco Cargo (good for taller skinny kids – 40lb limit but 16″ top slots- terrible booster… so don’t use it for a booster)

    The other thing is, some seats puzzle really well together – like all the britax seats puzzle next to radians really well because the britax almost sits up and over the radian.

    What I would do is go to http://www.car-seat.org, post your specific situation, with your car make, model and all your kids stats (age, weight, torso height – have them sit against a wall, measure to their shoulders)

    You will get a solution.
