    Question Which car for 3 Children in car seats?

    Looking for some advice and help here

    What car do you drive if you have three young kids all in child restraints?

    DS1 will be 4 and he is in a Maxi rider AHR and DS2 is in a Safe n Sound car seat and bubs will be in a capsule when he/ she is born.

    Are there some car restraints that are narrower than others?

    I have heard you can fit three across a Ford Territory but don't know of any others.

    We had planned on having our Captiva for quite some time yet but we wouldn't fit three across the back.


    Many thanks

    I have a ford falcon wagon and atm have a AHR safe n sound for ds2, ds1 has a safe sound discovery (front faceing one) and the newborn will have safe n sound premier in capsule position... it is good coz u still have plenty of boot space, we also have a cage up between the back seat n the boot to stop luggage from flying forward...

    We have two seats in ours, Magna sedan and it's nearly impossible to fit anyone else in. I'm going to be looking for another car myself so hopefully more people respond with ideas. Sorry I was no help but at least you'll know not to go with a magna .

    I have a Toyota Camry sedan and currently have 3 seats in it. 2 MRIIs and a Fisher Price reversible in reverse position which is in the middle. The Ambulance put them in and said it's safe to do for now but not if a seat belt was being used rather than the built in harness, just because it's almost impossible getting your hands between each of the seats so in an accident kids would not be able to be taken out of the car in a hurry.

    The Ford Falcon AU wagon can fit 3 across the back, same with the Nissan Navara.

    Hi

    We have 3 small children aswell (5,4,1) and we just switched over from Ford Territory to the Toyota Kluger about 3 weeks ago. So far we are loving the Kluger. We wanted the third row. So far we love it. It is a bit wider than the Territory and has been a bit more versitile.

    i [had] three carseats in the back of my toyota camry station wagon.
    - not sure of their brands, but i've done it with at least five different carseats. (capsules, five point - forward facing and rear facing, and several types of five point toddler seats )
