Yes, 3 can fit in the car, but only one will get to drive. I don't know if they still do this, but in Aug 2010, my DH took my two boys, ages 7 and 5, in one car. DD and I went in a different car. He told the CM they both wanted to drive. The CM put a flag on their car. When they came back, they switched seats, and went around again with the other kid driving. They did not have to get back in the line.
