3 car seats in a car!

Hey lovelies! I’m looking for a new car but I need to fit 3 car seats safely across the back seat and have leg room. I really like the newer Peugeot 5008. Does anyone have this car? I need 1 baby seat (2 years) and 2 graco booster car seats with the back attached. Not sure if they’ll sit nicely! Would love your opinions. I definitely would like the three car seats across the back as opposed to the one in the boot. Thank you in advance. X

The Ford s-max can fit a forward facing 5 point harness seat in the middle, with a high back booster at each side.

The VW Touran, VW Sharan and SEAT Alhambra can all fit three proper car seats across the middle row :)

Citroen grand Picasso (or the newer one) can fit 3 car seats across easily.

Not 100% certain the Peugeot can, could you borrow some seats to check?

We’ve had 3 easily in a discovery 3 and a grand picasso

We have a Ford S-Max with a baby infant rear facing seat and two high back boosters in the back row. Smile

We bought a Peugeot 5008 for the exact same reason, although this was in 2014. Not sure how the new one compares but ours did the job while we needed the 3 seats.

We are going through the same dilemma at the moment and have just settled on the seat tarraco x

We have the Peugeot 3008 which has a slightly smaller middle seat and can fit a toddler car seat, baby car seat and 13yo across the back! With the 5008 it would be no problem. It has three isofix points as well.

I easily fitted 3 across my now deceased Citroen Berlingo. I believe the Peugeot equivalent is the partner.

Hi,

We have the same query, looking to have 3 boys in the back accross the middle row (one 6 months old and two primary school age).

They can JUST squeeze into our current Ford Grande C-Max, however it takes a few minutes to buckle them in when using highbacked booster seats as the belt buckles are covered with barely anyroom to manoeuvre.

Do the options listed above have the same issue? Any further advice or experience would be appreciated. Thank you!x
