Thin backed seats.......?

Not sure how to describe this question. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for thin backed seats. Problem i'm running into is I've often got 3 kids in the car with me (2 year old in front seat in 5 point car seat....then an 8 and 7 year old in the back. I'm not to far away from no longer being able to have someone behind me because it's a tight fit for the kid behind me. I'm looking something that's back piece is thinner, not sure there are any options, but was thinking about this yesterday.

car currently has the comfort seats.

Sveach756 is infamous around these parts
Sportster cs or gt should be thinner. They don't have a quick release for folding but recline and lean forward pretty far.

Could probably buy a cheap car to shuttle the kids around for the price it's going to cost to gain 1-2 inches of legroom

Have 5 cars and all get driven very regularly (tundra, '55 suburban, 63 impala, porsche, mdx), only rule i have when bringing a car home is all 3 kids have to be able to fit Wife doesn't have to come along, but I do way too much with the three. Every car in the house has 3 car seats in them at all times (have 18 seats in the house). Porsche is the only one that has them occasionally removed. So it's a matter of making it work or the turbo goes

Porsche generally has a roof rack on it loaded up with skateboards, scooters, etc (it's our skate park car)

HotrodGuy, I would like to see more pics on how you make the 3 car seats work in your 996. I have 3 kids and need some ideas on how to make 3 car seats work for our driving adventures.

I've got two boosters in the back and a convertible seat in front. (If i have just the older two I put a larger 5 pt seat in the front).

The key is make sure you have the air bag deactivation bar installed and the cars programmed to be able to accept it.

I'll snap some pics of the seats I use in a few days for ya.
