Hi,
Do you know if the back seat of an X5 is actually any bigger / better for 3 car seats than the back seat of an X3??

I think that the back seat measurement is pretty much the same. The difference is that the X5 can have an additional seat in the boot, making it a 7 seater, rather than the 5 seater X3.

We have the X3 and I don't think that you could fit 3 seats in it, we couldn't get a skinny adult (size 8) between our two car seats at all.

thanks afh,
i was hoping that wouldnt be the case. have looked at the X5 and if using the back row there isnt room for a decent sized single buggy, let alone a double...
