There are many five-seater cars on the market today that have three top tether points across the rear seats. So you would presume you would be able to fit three child seats across the rear seats, but as I have found in my testing this is not the case! The main reasons I find are either the cars simply aren't wide enough, or the rear seat bases aren't wide enough or the seat bases or backs are too sculpted for three child seats to fit!
- Looking for seven-seaters that will take three child seats across?
- Which dual-cab utes are easiest for fitting child seats?
Here is a list of all the five-seater cars on the market in Australia today that I have reviewed and found would fit three child seats across the rear seats with the child seats used in BabyDrive testing:
BYD Seal EV
The BYD Seal EV is a very cool, fully electric, five-seat sports sedan. Ranging in price from around $50,000 to $70,000. Three child seats fit really comfortably across the second row of the BYD Seal. Legroom is very good, the rear footwell is flat, which makes it easy for passengers to move to and from their seats and gives a central passenger good foot room.
GWM Tank 300 Ultra
The GWM Tank 300 Ultra is a very cool-looking five-seater 4WD. Ranging in price from $46,990 to $55,990. Three child seats fit really well across the second row of the GWM Tank 300 Ultra. Combinations of two forward-facing and a rear-facing child seat fit well. With a forward-facing child seat in the second row, we could fit a 186cm driver in front. Or, with a rear-facing child seat in the second row, we could fit a 180cm driver in front.
Lexus RX350 F-Sport
The Lexus RX350 F-Sport is a is a luxury five-seater SUV. Which range in prices from $90,000 to $128,000. Three child seats fit really comfortably across the second row of the Lexus RX350. It's a really spacious back seat so different combinations of forward-facing and a rear-facing child seats fit well. With a rear-facing infant capsule in the second row, we could fit a 180cm driver in front of it. Or, with a forward-facing child seat in the second row, we could fit a 186cm driver in front.
BMW X2 XDrive 20i
The BMW X2 XDrive 20i is a five-seat small SUV, available as fully-electric and non-electric variants. Which range in prices from $75,990 to $92,900. Three forward-facing child seats just fit across the second row of the BMW X2 XDrive 20i. It's a tight fit, so you would need to test your different combinations of forward-facing and rear-facing child seats but like the boot space it was a bit roomier than the supposedly practicality-oriented BMW X1. I could only just fit in the central seat between two child seats, it was a definite shoulder squeezer! Legroom is good in the BMW X2 XDrive 20i. With a rear-facing infant capsule in the second row, we could comfortably fit a 178cm-180cm driver in front of it. Alternatively, with a forward-facing child seat in the second row, we could fit a 186cm driver in front. Similar legroom to the BMW X1. The central rear footwell is not flat so rear passengers have to straddle that with their feet.
Ford Mustang Mach-E
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a fully electric five-seat SUV, which ranges in prices from $64,990 to $97,990, with a battery range of either 470km or 600km. Three child seats fit really comfortably across the second row of the Ford Mustang Mach-E. It's a really spacious back seat so different combinations of forward-facing and rear-facing child seats fit well. With a rear-facing infant capsule a 180cm driver can sit in front or 186cm+ in front of a forward-facing child seat.
Volvo EX30
The Volvo EX30 is a fully electric small five-seater SUV, which ranges in prices from $66,290 to $71,290, with a battery range of either 460km or 480km respectively. Although the rear seating space appears compact we could surprisingly fit three child seats comfortably in the back of the Volvo EX30. However, we did find legroom very tight and could only fit a 163cm driver in front of a rear-facing infant capsule. With forward-facing child seats in the back a 180cm driver can sit in front.
Audi Q5 Sportback PHEV
The Audi Q5 Sportback PHEV is a luxury five-seater SUV, with a battery range of around 53km. We found a combination of two forward-facing and one rear-facing child seats fits across the rear seats; however, you can't fit three forward-facing child seats across the back seats as the rear seats are too narrow across the shoulders where the head support of the child seats is. This is a consideration for families that need to fit three across and I found the Sportback wasn't much different to the conventional SUV shape version of the Q5 which is also a bit narrow across the shoulders. We found a 180cm driver could sit in front of a rear-facing infant capsule in the Audi Q5 Sportback.
Audi Q8 e-tron 55 Quattro
The Audi Q8 e-tron is a fully electric, five-seater car. The rear seats are quite sculpted so if fitting three forward facing child seats across in the back you definitely need to test your child seats! Legroom is quite minimal and with a rear-facing infant capsule installed we could fit a 175cm driver in front of the rear-facing child seat.
Toyota bZ4X
The Toyota bZ4X is a small, five-seater, fully electric car. It shares it's design with the Subaru Solterra. Three child seats fit comfortably in the back, with good legroom for rear passengers, too. The rear footwell is almost flat, so there is plenty of kick room, and it's easy for little passengers to move around to get in and out of their seats. We could fit a 180cm driver in front of the rear-facing Infant Capsule.
Subaru Solterra EV
The Subaru Solterra is a fully electric, small, five-seater car. Surprisingly for a car of this size, three child seats fit really comfortably in the back of the Subaru Solterra, with good legroom for rear passengers, too. The rear footwell is flat, so there is plenty of kick room, and it's easy for little passengers to move around to get in and out of their seats. We could fit a 180cm driver in front of the rear-facing Infant Capsule.
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is a spacious, five-seater family SUV that is very good value for money and has lots of good features onboard for families. Three child seats fit very comfortably in the rear seats or a passenger between two child seats. Legroom is very good for a car of this size and a 186cm driver can fit in front of a forward-facing child seat.
Subaru Crosstrek
The Subaru Crosstrek is a small AWD SUV which ranges in price, starting from $34,990 up to $45,090. Three child seats will fit across the rear seats for families that need them to. However one of them does need to be rear-facing as I couldn't fit three forward-facing child seats across. The Crosstrek has great legroom for a small car, with rear-facing child seats installed in the back a 180cm driver can sit in front.
Subaru Impreza
The Subaru Impreza Hatch ranges in price from $35,319 to $48,114. The Impreza has AMAZING legroom with rear-facing child seats installed and I could fit three child seats across too! With rear-facing child seats installed in the back a 180cm driver can sit in front. Or with forward-facing child seats in the back 186cm+ driver can sit in front. The boot of the Impreza is practical for families and the Impreza is an easy to drive car that is also nippy and fun for pleasurable child-free journeys!
Subaru Outback
I found I could install three child seats in the rear seats of the Subaru Outback. There are ISOFix points in both the outer seats and top tether points in the backs of all three seats. I found it was a tight fit and with just the two outer child seats installed there was enough room for me to sit between them. Legroom is fantastic, and in front of the rear-facing child seat a 184cm driver can sit comfortably. I was amazed there was so much room with such a large boot as well. See the full review here.
Subaru Forester
A capable five-seater SUV, the Subaru Forester is a good choice for tall families. With three Infasecure child seats across the back row a 184cm driver can sit in front of a rear-facing infant capsule or with forward-facing child seats even taller driver and front passenger. See the top three family-friendly features of the Subaru Forester here.
Tesla Model Y
The Tesla Model Y is a fully electric, five-seater car, that is great for families. It is very spacious and comfortably fits three child seats across in the back seats. The rear footwell is flat so there is lots of kick room and legroom for rear passengers and the Model Y is great for taller families, we found a 186cm driver can sit in front of a rear-facing child seat.
Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 is a fully electric five-seater car withe a 450-500km battery range. The EV6 is full of family friendly features. We found a combination of forward-facing and rear-facing child seats allowed us to fit three across in the rear seats. We found the Kia EV6 to be very spacious and with rear-facing child seats installed in the back we could fit a 186cm driver or passenger in front of them and they had heaps of space to spare. Read the Top 3 Family-Friendly Features of the Kia EV6 here.
Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 is a spacious, five-seater family SUV, it has built-in booster seats in the outer rear seats, with clear markers and directions for the age and size of children that can use them. When it comes to installing child seats three child seats will fit comfortably across in the back of the Volvo XC60. The Volvo XC60 is a fantastic car for tall families, the interior is very spacious, making leg room very generous. With a rear-facing Infant Capsule installed, we could fit a 186cm or taller driver in front of it.
Range Rover Evoque PHEV
The Range Rover Evoque PHEV is a stylish, luxury five-seater family SUV. Being a plug-in-hybrid you get the benefit of being able to do the majority of your commuting and school runs on just electricity but have the petrol engine for longer trips at weekends etc. Three child seats fit really nicely across the second row of the Range Rover Evoque PHEV. The Evoque is a great luxury car for tall families because legroom is very good. With a rear-facing infant capsule installed in the back a 186cm driver could fit in front of it.
Hyundai Ioniq6
Three child seats fit really easily across the rear seats of the Hyundai Ioniq 6. The Ioniq 6 is a fantastic car for tall families, leg room is very generous and with a rear-facing Infant Capsule installed we could fit a 186cm or taller driver in front of it. You can see the full family write up about the Hyundai Ioniq 6 here.
Honda ZR-V
The Honda ZR-V fits three child seats across the rear seats. Legroom is FANTASTIC in the Honda ZR-V and we could easily fit a 186cm driver in front of a rear-facing Infant Capsule. Having only two seats installed in the back is nice and spacious and there is room for a passenger to sit back there too. You can see the full family write up about the Honda ZR-V here.
MG4
The MG4 is a fully electric five seater car that is very affordable for families. Prices range from around $32,990 to $50,990. Three child seats fit across the rear seats of the MG4. With enough legroom that we could fit a 180cm driver in front of a rear-facing Infant Capsule installed in the rear seats. You can see the full family write up about the MG4 here.
Mazda CX-60
New to the luxury five-seater line up is the Mazda CX-60. Prices range from $60,000-$85,000. This family SUV has a minimal interior with a rear seat slightly wider than the CX-5. Three child seats fit across the back seats.
Porsche Cayenne
It's a beautiful family car! The Porsche Cayenne is a luxury SUV that is modern, luxurious, fast, and at the same time it is incredibly practical as a family car. Three Infasecure child seats fit comfortably across the back seats with good legroom for a 180cm driver in front of a rear-facing child seat, or taller with forward-facing child seats. Priced from $117,000-$293,000 it is not in everyone's budgets. You can see the top three family-friendly features of the Porsche Cayenne here.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV is a great five-seater plug-in-hybrid SUV priced between $47,000 – $54,000. Three Infasecure child seats fit really nicely across the rear seats with a good amount of legroom in the front too. To read more about the child seats in this testing click here. The Eclipse Cross PHEV did around 50km to a charge which I found a practical amount for daily driving on battery alone. See the top three family-friendly features of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV here.

The MG HS PHEV is a great five-seater SUV, affordably priced between $30,000 – $47,000. Three Infasecure child seats fit across the rear seats.

See the top three family-friendly features of the MG HS PHEV here.
Genesis GV70
The Genesis GV70 is a luxury five seat SUV. It has a beautiful interior and the rear seats have ISOFix in the two outer seats and top tether anchorages on the back of all three rear seats. Three Infasecure child seats fit across the rear seats nice and comfortably. I installed an Infasecure Attain More, Achieve More and a Serene. With a rear-facing child seat we could just fit a 180cm driver in front or with a rear-facing child seat on the other side of the car, we could easily fit a 186cm front passenger.
Volkswagen Golf
The Volkswagen Golf is a great allrounder for families looking for functionality as well as good styling. You are able to fit three Infasecure child seats across the rear seats. I installed the Infasecure Roamer II, Infasecure Versatile folding booster seat in the middle and the Infasecure Achieve More child seat rear-facing. Legroom is quite good in the Volkswagen Golf Life, with rear-facing child seats installed in the back a 180cm driver could fit or a 186cm front passenger. See the top three family friendly features of the Volkswagen Golf Life here.
Kia Cerato Hatch
The Kia Cerato GT Hatch is a more practical five seater than you'd imagine. Priced at just $26,000 – $37,000 it makes it good looking and fun sporty car for families. I could fit three Infasecure child seats in the back of the Cerato GT Hatch. It was a tight squeeze and a bit of a juggle getting three children in and out of the back but it is possible if you really need to! Legroom is good in the Kia Cerato GT and with rear-facing child seats fitted, we could sit a 180cm driver in front of a rear-facing seat and 188cm tall front passenger.
Haval Jolion
The Haval Jolion Hybrid is a super affordable hybrid SUV. Priced at just $28,000 – $41,000 it makes it very affordable for a lot of families. The Jolion fits three Infasecure child seats nicely across the rear seats. I installed the Infasecure Attain More in the outer and central seat and Infasecure Aspire More booster in an outer seat. They all fit nicely and you could put three Infasecure Attain More seats across if you wanted to. Legroom is fantastic in the Haval Jolion. We found we could comfortably fit a 186cm passenger in front of a rear facing Infasecure Attain More. Or a 180cm driver in front of a rear facing Infasecure Attain More.
GWM Haval H6 GT
The GWM Haval H6 GT is well equipped SUV for the price. Priced at just $40,000 – $47,000 it has ISOFix in the outer two seats and top tether anchorages on the back of all three rear seats. The Haval H6 GT will easily hold three Infasecure child seats across the rear row; I installed the Infasecure Attain More, Aspire More and Achieve More. You could fit three forward or rear-facing Infasecure Attain or Achieve More child seats across if you need to in the Haval H6 GT. In the Haval H6 GT model we could only fit a 180cm driver in front of a rear-facing Infasecure Attain More child seat. However we could fit a taller driver in the non-GT Model Haval H6 Lux.
Chery Omoda 5
The New Chery Omoda 5 is a very affordable five-seat SUV for families. Priced at just $30,000 – $33,000. In the back of the 2023 Chery Omoda 5 there are ISOFix in the outer two seats and top tether anchorages on the back of all three seats. Room is good for an SUV of this size and three Infasecure child seats fit across the rear seats nicely. I installed the Infasecure Achieve More and Versatile folding booster seat forward facing and the Infasecure Adapt More Infant Capsule rear facing behind the driver's seat. In front of the capsule we could fit around a 180cm driver, or with a forward-facing child seat installed, a 186cm+ driver fits.
Nissan X-Trail
The Nissan X-Trail is available with a petrol engine or as an e-power hybrid. The Hybrid model feels like a fully electric car to drive it is really enjoyable. This new model makes a lovely five-seater family SUV, that I could fit three Infasecure child seats in the back seats of comfortably. I installed the Infasecure Adapt more and Achieve More rear-facing in the two outer seats and I put the Infasecure versatile folding booster seat in the central seat. There are ISO Fix in both the outer rear seats and top tether anchorage points on the back of both of the outer rear seats and the central top tether point is in the ceiling of the boot.
VW Tiguan
The VW Tiguan is a lovely five-seater family SUV, that I could fit three Infasecure Attain More child seats in the back. There are ISO Fix in both the outer rear seats and top tether anchorage points on the back of all three rear seats and easily reachable through the boot. The rear seats are quite flat, allowing for three child seats to be installed, but the seat base was only just wide enough to accommodate the child seats I tested with so if you intend to fit three child seats you'll definitely need to check your chosen models will fit across the Tiguan during your test drive. See the top three family-friendly features of the VW Tiguan here.
GWM Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid
The GWM Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid is a great option for families that need to fit three child seats across the back seats. The seat base is lovely and wide and I could install three child seats comfortably in the back. Legroom in the GWM Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid is very good too, we could fit an 184cm driver in front of a rear-facing Infant Capsule. Or even taller front passengers when you have forward-facing child seats.
Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson is a very practical five-seater SUV for families and ranges in price between $35,000 and $52,000. I fitted three Infasecure child seats in the back seats with a squeeze and found I could just fit between or beside two child seats. There are ISOFix points in the two outer seats and top tether anchorages across all three seatbacks. A 184cm driver could fit in front of a forward-facing child seat and a 184cm passenger could travel in front of a rear-facing child seat with good legroom. See the top three family-friendly features of the Hyundai Tucson here.
Kia Sportage
The New Kia Sportage is a fantastic five seater SUV for families and ranges in price between $33,000 and $53,000. I fitted three Infasecure child seats in the back seats and found I could just sit between two child seats. There are ISOFix points in the two outer seats and top tether anchorages across all three seatbacks. Legroom is pretty good in the cabin, with a rear-facing child seat, we found a 180cm driver could fit in front or a 186cm passenger could fit in front. See the top three family-friendly features of the Kia Sportage here.
Toyota RAV4
The New Toyota RAV4 has great interior space which made it easy when installing child seats. I could fit three child seats in the rear seats. It was a bit tight but I could fit either three forward-facing child seats or two forward-facing and one rear-facing. Legroom inside was good enough for a 180cm driver to sit in front of a rear-facing child seat which is fab! See the full review here.
Nissan Qashqai
The New Nissan Qashqai ranges in price from $34,000 to $48,000. It can comfortably fit three Infasecure child seats across the back row. I installed the Infasecure Adapt more and Achieve More rear-facing and the Infasecure Attain More forward facing although the rear seats feel wide enough that you should fit three forward-facing Attain More child seats across the back if you needed to. Legroom in the Nissan Qashqai is tight with rear-facing child seats a 170cm driver can fit in front, or with forward-facing child seats a 180cm+ drive for front passenger. See the full review here.
Renault Koleos
Three child seats fit across the rear seats of the Renault Koleos using the three top tether anchorages and two ISOFix points. There is a good amount of interior space throughout the car and legroom is very practical for families. With rear-facing child seats installed we could put the driver's seat in it's furthest back position and fit a 186cm driver in the front which is very rare! The price ranges from $32,000 to $46,000. You can see the top three family-friendly features of the Renault Koleos here.
Honda CR-V (5 seater)
The five-seater Honda CR-V ranges in price between $44,000 and $60,000. I could fit three child seats in the second-row of the five seater model with loads of legroom and boot space throughout. In the seven seater model I could fit five child seats in the back, the top tether straps do go in the third-row passengers faces which you can read about here. See the full review here.
Peugeot 3008
The Peugeot 3008 fits two child seats and a booster seat nicely in the back seats and the front passenger seat folds down flat so it's easy for kids to climb in and out past rear facing child seats too. The 3008 ranges in price from $45,000 to $50,000. See the top three family-friendly features of the Peugeot 3008 here.
Mazda CX-5
You may be surprised to find I could fit three Infasecure child seats across the back seats of the Mazda CX-5. You do need to be selective about your child seats and check they fit first but we could fit the Infasecure Attain More, Achieve More and Aspire More across the rear seats. The CX-5 has three top tether anchorages in the back of the seat backs and all three seat backs fold forward individually too. There is ISO Fix in the two outer seats too although I couldn’t use the ISO Fix when fitting three child seats as I needed to bring the child seats further out to the edges of the seats so I used the seat belts with the top tethers, which worked really well. See the full review here.
Kia Seltos
The Kia Seltos has ISOFix in the two outer rear seats and top tether anchor points on the back of all three seatbacks. I installed three Infasecure child seats across the back seats of the Kia Seltos; one Infasecure Attain More rear-facing and one forward facing and an Infasecure Achieve More forward facing too. There was not enough room in the back seats however to have three forward-facing child seats across as the car tapers in at the window height preventing three fitting. Not all families need to fit three child seats across. A combination of forward and rear-facing child seats works best. Legroom was a little tight and in front of the rear-facing child seat, we could fit a 170cm driver. See the top three family-friendly features of the Kia Seltos here.
VW Touareg
I loved driving the VW Touareg, it easily fits three child seats across the rear seats. I found that forward-facing or rear-facing car seats fit and with a rear-facing child seat installed a 180cm driver could sit in front of it. See the top ten family-friendly features of the VW Touareg here.
Genesis G80
The five-seater Genesis G80 is a luxury sedan ranging in price from $85,000 to $100,000 so it is not in every families budget, however, for those that can it is a very nice family sedan. I could fit three child seats in the second-row with very good legroom for front passengers. A 180cm driver can sit in front of a rear-facing child seat or on the passenger side, a 184cm passenger will fit in front of a rear-facing child seat. With a forward-facing child seat on the driver's side then a 184cm driver can sit in front of it. See the full review here. See our top five family-friendly features here.
Hyundai i30 Sedan
The five-seater Hyundai i30 sedan has a lot of space for child seats in the back. I could fit three child seats really nicely and legroom was good too, with a rear-facing child seat on the driver's side a 180cm driver should sit in front of it and on the passenger side at least a 184cm passenger could sit in front of a rear-facing child seat or infant capsule. Ranging in price from $25,000 to $38,000 it is an affordable and practical family sedan. See the full review here.
Mazda6
Very surprisingly I could fit three child seats in the back of the Mazda6 sedan (but not the wagon)! There are three top tethers across the fixed parcel shelf in the back, which are within plastic guides but because of their position, as well as the ceiling and the back window being so low, they are REALLY tricky to access and connect to. They are even harder to disconnect. There are ISOFix points in the two outer rear seats, they are within plastic guides and relatively easy to connect to. With a rear-facing child seat in the back, I had a good amount of legroom in the front passenger seat too (I'm 162cm). The main difficulty is posting Bub into their seats, as the low roofline is just hard work; I hit my head and my daughter's head on it many times!
Toyota Corolla sedan (11th generation)
There is a lot of legroom in the Toyota Corolla. We managed to install three child seats: A Mountain Buggy Protect infant capsule and Infasecure Kompressor 4 (both rear-facing) in the outer seats and an Infasecure Foldaway booster seat in the middle with enough legroom in front for a 184cm driver. There are two ISO Fix points, one in each of the outer rear seats, and three top tether anchorages situated in the parcel shelf behind each rear headrest.
BMW X1
The BMW X1 SUV costs between $54,000 and $83,000. When it comes to installing three Infasecure child seats I found the BMW X1 can only fit the Versatile Folding Booster seat between two child seats (the Infasecure Achieve More and Attain More) and there was not enough space for another Attain or Achieve More to fit across the shoulders. With a rear-facing child seat in the second-row, we could fit a 180cm driver in front. See the top three family-friendly features of the BMW X1 here.
Range Rover Velar
I could easily install three child seats in the back of the Range Rover Velar! There are ISOFix points in the two outer seats within plastic guides so they were easy to connect to and top tether points across the back of all three rear seats. It was fantastic to be able to use the ISOFix points and have three seats installed, as usually, you have to move the outer child seats further outwards and use the seatbelts.
It was a little tricky reaching the top tether points through the boot as the boot is so long, so it was easier to bring the seatbacks forward to reach them.
Audi Q8
The Audi Q8 fits three big child seats really easily forward-facing or rear-facing, with good legroom for the front passengers and a 180cm driver can sit in front of the rear-facing child seat. See the top three family-friendly features of the Audi Q8 here.
BMW X5
In the back of the five-seater model of the 2019 BMW X5, the seats are very spacious and comfortable. I found three forward-facing child seats fitted really nicely across the second-row seats. The ISOFix are in the two outer seats and are easy to connect to and the seat base is really deep and wide so it is easy to install three seats. The only problem I had was connecting the top tether straps because I could not reach across the boot, I am only 162cm, so had to kneel on the child seats and reach over the seat backs. I could easily sit between two child seats in the outer positions and legroom was excellent and we could easily seat a 182cm driver in front of a rear-facing child seat.
Volvo S60
The Volvo S60 Sedan does fit three specific style child seats across the back seat. However there are some big considerations due to the rear seat shaping, roof height and headrests. To learn all about it click here.
Hi, what car seats are you using in these videos please? Thank you.
Here’s a guide to all the seats we use and dimensions
https://babydrive.com.au/articles/will-my-child-seats-fit-in-my-car/
Hi, thank you for your reviews they have been great, assisted us when we bought our CX9
Would you be able to tell me if I could fit three across in a BMW 2016-2020 3 series and what type of seat would fit best
Glad we helped with that CX-9 and hope you’re enjoying it! Did you check our BMW 3 Series review, 3 across might be very hard no matter the seats: https://babydrive.com.au/reviews/sedans/2019-bmw-3-series-330i-sedan/
What about a more recent Volkwagen Passat wagon e.g. 2016 models and beyond? Is the backseats too sculptured?
We will try to get one for review!
Hello, can you include distance of inner isofix points in your future reviews? It says more than words as I can calculate if an adult can sit in between seats or if the third one fits in. Thanks!
Most seats extend beyond the ISOFix mounts though?
Hi there could u test the MG HS to fit 3 seats
Coming soon!
Hi. I’m looking at buying a MG HS do you know if 3 seats fit across?
Hi, yes sure the three I tested with were the Infasecure Serene, Optima and Versatile folding booster seat. Depending on the ages/size of your three children.
Do you think there would be sufficient room for an adult/teen and two child seats to fit in the back of the MG HS? Thanks Al
Depending on the type of child seats and the build of the teen/adult I think so. Might be a squeeze but possible.
Hey,
I have a 2007 Mazda 3 and needing 2 slim compacted car seats to go next to a baby jogger capsule, what would you recommend??
Sorry never tested that model, we started the website in 2018
Have you tried fitting 3 seats into a Hyundai Elantra?
Hi never tested one
Just a thought; here it’s called the i30 Sedan: https://babydrive.com.au/reviews/sedans/2021-hyundai-i30-sedan/
Can you test Skoda Octavia?
We did this one ages ago https://babydrive.com.au/reviews/wagons/2018-skoda-octavia-wagon/
Hi! We have a 3.5 y/o, a 2 year old and soon a newborn- preferably want them all to rear face until at least 4.5. Any idea which car would be suitable for that? Thanks so much – your website and the videos are so helpful!
Hello,
I want to buy a car for family of 5, one forward facing child seat, one booster and adult sitting in the rear seat. Any recommended car for that range? Thanks…!
Can you please review the Tesla Model Y now it is available in Australia?
Looking forward to doing so
Also the BYD Atto 3 please!
And the Polestar 2. I saw one of these the other day and it looked a lot roomier than I had thought from photos.

Any progress on this happening?
This was referring to the Tesla Model Y.
Hi! Love the site. Have you tested the model Y as yet?
Still waiting…
I’ve tested a Model Y myself and it does fit 3 car seats across the back. I tested with a Britax Maxi Guard Pro+ in the middle and then an Infasecure Achieve Premium on both sides both rear and forward facing. It was tight with all forward facing with the outside shoulder just touching the window. The beam above the outside car seats stopped the headrest being raised to the top level but the one below was OK. I also tested with a Britax Millenia+ and Graphene+ in the outside spots (both rear and forward facing) with one of the Infasecure Achieve Premium’s in the middle and that fit fine. We just did a 450km each way road trip in a Y with this last setup (Graphene and Millenia both rear-facing) and it was great. The cargo space in the Y is incredible, 971L (854 in boot and 117 in Frunk) with rear seats up which is huge!

Hi, I was wondering how about Peugeot 2008 with three seats or with two seats, how much room left for the mother at middle row. Do you have pictures for that case?
Couldn’t get 3 in a 2008. You’d need slim seats and adult to fit, even then would be a squeeze
Hello, I would also like to know if the 2020+ BMW 5 series would fit 3 across, I have two children in boosters and 1 rearward facing
Hello. I was wondering if you know what seats would fit in back of outlander 2013. Come November I will have a newborn, 16month old and a 5 year old.
Cheers
