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:
Tap any car in the table below to jump straight to it.
Audi Q3
A compact luxury SUV that surprises for its size, the Audi Q3 fits three child seats across the back seats which is great news for families wanting a smaller premium car. Both forward and rear-facing child seat combinations fit well. Legroom is generous too, with a 186cm driver fitting comfortably in front of child seats installed behind. The Audi Q3 ranges in price from around $61,600.
Audi Q5
The Audi Q5 is a very popular luxury family SUV. The new 2026 hybrid model ranges in price from around $81,000 to $122,400. Three child seats fit very comfortably across the back seats of the Audi Q5, fitting either three forward facing child seats or a combination of forward and rear facing child seats. Legroom is very good in the Audi Q5, fitting a 184cm driver in front of a rear-facing child seat or 186cm+ driver in front of forward-facing child seats. For families that want to sit a passenger between two child seats in the back you can with a little shoulder squeeze and the rear footwell has a hump in the centre so central passengers do have to straddle that with their feet. The Audi Q5 is a great luxury family car that is solid on the road and practical for family life.
Denza B5 Leopard
The Denza B5 Leopard is a large five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV with a very spacious cabin. Priced from around $79,990, it is a lot of car for the money.

Volkswagen Tayron
The Volkswagen Tayron is a five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV and a great option for families who want a practical European car. Priced from around $48,950 it is well positioned in the market.

Legroom is tighter for the tallest parents so if you're well over 180cm you may want to check the fit before buying.
Audi Q4 E-Tron
The fully electric Audi Q4 E-Tron is available as a Sportback or SUV shape. It is the SUV shape that can fit three child seats across in the back seats which is so good for a small luxury SUV. Either forward or rear-facing child seat combinations fit well. I did not test the child seats in the Sportback model which may be tighter for space due to the shape of the roofline at the back. Legroom is exceptionally good in the SUV with rear-facing child seats a 186cm driver can fit in front, or with forward-facing child seats an even taller driver can fit. The Audi Q4 E-Tron ranges in price from around $84,900 to $107,500.

Leapmotor C10
The fully electric Leapmotor C10 is a very spacious car for tall families. Three child seats fit well across the rear seats of the Leapmotor C10, fitting either three forward facing child seats across or a combination of forward and rear facing child seats easily.

Mahindra 3XO
The Mahindra 3XO is a very practical and very affordable small family SUV. The 3XO ranges in price from around $23,990.

Skoda Kamiq
The Skoda Kamiq is a small but mighty compact SUV. It ranges in price from around $33,990 making it an affordable and practical car for families. Surprisingly the Kamiq fits three child seats comfortably across the second row seats, three forward facing child seats fit or a combination of forward and rear facing child seats. There is enough legroom for a 170cm driver in front of a rear-facing child seat or 180cm driver in front of forward-facing child seats, the rear footwell has a hump in the centre so central passengers do have to straddle that with their feet.

With rear-facing child seats installed a 162cm driver can fit in front and with forward-facing child seats across the back seats a 186cm driver can fit in front.

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.
https://babydrive.com.au/reviews/electric-cars/2022-polestar-2-long-range-dual-motor/
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!
Hello, did you test 2021 Mercedes GLS for 3 child seats?

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
Hello!
Have you tested Renault Talisman (2018) sedan version. Would love to see the review. Thanks!
