The child seats and child restraints we use for testing in our car reviews on BabyDrive are to give you a general guide only.
If you are looking at the car reviews on BabyDrive and wondering if your child's restraint will fit in the car you have, or the car you are looking at buying, then below is a simple guide with the measurements of all the products we use, you can compare them to the measurements of your child seats (these are available on most manufacturers websites).
We hope this helps 🙂

Hi,
I’ve just looked at the BMW X1 review and seen 3 car seats can fit across — with the easier configuration bring two forward-facing and one rear-facing (which is what I’ll need).I’ve looked at your page ‘Will my car seat fit in my car?’
I have 2 x Britax Kid Guards and 1 x Britax Safe-n-Sound Unity Isofix capsule.
Do you believe The Unity will fit with the Kid Guards in an X1?
Yes the Kid Guards are a bit narrower so you should be fine.
