Hi all, need to get a new 7 seater but in the middle row will need to be able to fit 3 car seats, 2 will be the boosters with a high back and one will be the stage 2 (? 5 point harness facing forward). Does anyone know which models to look at? Many thanks

Mine fits 3 seats in a row. It's a vw touran.

We've got an older galaxy, same shape as seat Alhambra and vw Sharon, its really economical (diesel) and easily fits 3 car seats in the centre row, you can also remove any of the five backseats individually which is useful when travelling with lots of crap essential stuff

VW Sharan has plenty of room

Kia sedona fits 3 in a row no problem. (seperate seat bases).

There are LOADS of threads on this it would be worth he effort to do a search of old threads.

lovely thanks, something to look at. It will be a new car as it will be a lease car through other halfs work. So vw or ford best bet then? Do they still make the galaxy or is that now the s max? do these 2 mentioned fit the seats so they are 'flat' as apposed to slightly tipped like i have seen people do to fit them in? (!)

toyota verso and renault scenic and zafira all work with 3 car seats in the back

We have a Volvo xc90. You can fit two cars seats on either side of the one "built in" raised seat. Three seats will also fit in side by side, but we found this configuration to work the best when our DC were smaller.

We have a new style galaxy which easily takes 3 car seats. Used to have an old-style Mondeo which also took 3 - though there was some knuckle-grazing. Friend has a Scenic and 3 seats- again some knuckle grazing.

we have a vw sharran where you could fit 3 carseats across the back and we now have a citreon c8 and can fit 3 carseats across the back easily :)

Citroen Grand Picasso. SIL has two high back boosters and a Maxi Cosi Priori comfortably in the middle row.
