two boosters and a baby car seat in a medium sized car?

I need to fit three kids car seats into my peugeot 307 (two boosters and a baby seat).The problem is that their combined width is greater than the width of the back seat.I have looked around,but most seats seem to be of similiar width.Does anyone know of a slimline range of safety seats?
I really don’t want to buy a new car to solve this temporary problem
its not really the seat part which causes the problem,more the styling wings,arms and cup holders which makes the whole thing too wide to fit across a normal car seat.The only solution seems to buy a van like people carrier which are wider than a standard car.There must be a better solution

John Lewis and Halfords both have good ranges and offer sound adcvice.

    I’ve seen 3 seats across the back seat of a 2 door chevy cavalier, it can be done. Here’s the downside: it very likely may mean replacing all 3 seats in exchange for 3 that will work together. Here’s a place to go to check the measurements of common seats: http://www.carseatdata.org/ There’s also a link on the page to check whether a particuar car seat is compatible with your car. Check the forum below in the links as getting three seats across is a frequent discussion item. Also, the Sunshine Kids Radian65/Radian80 is one of the narrowest seats made, it’s a convertible that goes 5-65lbs and 5-80lbs, rear and front facing. Find a store where you can try one out though, as they can be hard to install correctly.
