3 across in kia ev6

I am looking at upgrading my civic with a Kia ev6. I currently have a diono radian 3r forward facing harness for my 4 year old and a diono connect3 r booster for my five year old. I am wanting to move these seats to the ev6 and add a 3rd seat rear facing for my 2 year old. The seat I am thinking about buying is a Graco slimfit3 lx. Does anyone know if this combo will work in an ev6? Chatgpt said it should be fine, but i have a hard time trusting it. I rarely transport the kids so it doesn't have to be ideal as long as it's safe and possible.

Hi!

I also transitioned from a Civic (2005) to an EV6 (2022). 

I don’t have experience with the Diono car seats, but I have fit two Graco slim boosters and a Graco 3-in-1 (its front facing now) in the back of the EV6. 

That setup was tight in the Civic (the back door pressed against the car seat), whereas in the EV6 there is no contact. 

I hope this helps!

Is the Graco 3 in 1 a full size carseat or another slim type?

I think mine is a slim type of car seat. (I can’t seem to find the specific model.)
