I would not put a young child in the front seat unless it was an emergency. And then only with the seat pushed all the way back. Which probably would not be possible with a car seat behind it. And as others mentioned, it may be illegal in your state.

I do have three children. My oldest is 5 foot tall and out of a booster, but my younger 2 (both age 5) are in car seats and will be for a while. A Britax Roundabout and a Britax Decathalon. We only buy American cars. I currently drive a Ford Flex. We have no problem with the two cars seats and him sitting in the middle. You couldn't do three Britax seats across, but I think you could do three narrower seats. There is also a third row with two additional seating positions.
Before that I had a Taurus X with two seats in the middle and a bench in the back. So plenty of room. And before that, an Expedition. Not cheap to drive, but plenty of space.
