I have 3 across the back seat, all in child seats. It's more possible than most people realise. Oversized child seats are a major cause of people driving cars bigger than they need to. I'm not sure how this has happened, but you can end up needing more space to fit a child than an adult would require. I suspect it's the proliferation of region- specific child restraint requirements, which has meant manufacturers have washed their hands of the problem. The car seat manufacturers have worked out that the more a seat looks like an oversized sofa for their precious cargo, the more sales they make. I doubt that an inch extra of foam padding makes any difference in a large impact, but it feeds into anxiety of new parents.
