I just about manage it in a 3, so a Y should be a breeze. Mine are 5, 4 and 4, so can use boosters.
Of course the buckles are totally inaccessible for the two boosters. The Urban Kanga in the middle has it's own harness. Previously we had one of the boosters in the front and mum sat in the back. That gave enough wiggle room to push things out the way enough to just be able to manage to buckle the booster in the back, but not fun. I was umming and ahing about chopping the arm rests off the boosters and/or seat belt extenders, but all technically a bit dodgy although many use them. The game changer was seeing a video on Youtube that shows how kids can get in and out without needing to buckle/unbuckle the belt on the boosters. Looked a bit awkward but we gave it a go and it was actually super easy and the kids like it. That meant we could chuck all three in the back and they can all get themselves in and out easily without needing to touch the buckles. Happy days!
The Urban Kanga in the middle is getting a bit tight and not all that comfy, so I'll eventually squeeze another booster in the middle and use the same belt hack. But that will require chopping the arm rests off the booster, which I'm OK about really. If I happened to live in the US there seems to be more options available - like boosters that dont have the stupid arm rests and super slim seats, that at least go in a Y. Not sure if those work in a 3. But can't find those things here in Norway, so have to make do!
