What car fits 3 car seats in the back?

[lstickler]

Does anyone know what car will fit 3 car seats in the back? I.e 2 rear facing newborn car seats and one toddler car seat? Are there any cars that aren't MPVs that will fit all these in?? Thankyou xx

Citroen Picasso, isn't too much of an MPV, I have had 3 in the back of a ford Mondeo, is a squeeze but they do all fit. Toddler in the middle was easiest.

The old style vauxhall meriva has 3 proper seats in the back.

Good luck

We have three toddler seats in the back of our Volkswagen Touran. (MPV though).

Not had two rear facing seats together but have fitted (snugly) various combinations of 3 rear / front / boosters in our Audi A4.

Which? Magazine reviewed this. I'll try to find the link, but there is an old thread on the forum on this subject with a link in too. Some cars you can fit 3 seats, but have never been safety tested with 3 seats.

We have a touran and ny neighbours have a Honda frv. You can safely fit 3 seats in both.

We looked at cars recently and noticed that the Renault Scenic has 3 isofix points in the back (so has the potential to take 3 car seats).

This might be a bit out of date, but I found it really useful.

It's not just the car itself thats the issue it can also be the car seats themselves.

I'm making the assumption being that you are talking two newborn seats and a toddler seat that you have a toddler and are expecting twins? We had this situation and therefore ended up with an interesting mix of car seats!

If you are buying new then Halfords etc can try various models for you and see what fits best.

We ended up buying a zafira and putting one child in the back row for this reason

fiat multipla .. has been amazing for our twins and big brother from newborn to 5 and an extra seat when required ..

We've got a Ford SMax. It's a bit of a bus but having the 2 extra folding seats in the back is great. All 3 seats in the middle have isofix points.
