3 car seats in back of x5???

Hi, was wondering if anyone can help

Im pregnant with our 3rd, so we will have a 4 year old, a 2 year old and a newborn which means 3 car seats in the back.

I drive an x3 at the minute but 3 isnt gong to fit. Dont suppose anyone knows if 3 car seats will fit in back of bmw x5 or a mercedes ml?

I know a lot of people say the picasso for 3 car seats but thats definately a no go, my husband hates them.

cheers

  • I would say try before you buy,we hired a Range Rover last year and struggled to get 3 car seats in,took the skin off the back of my knuckles,I wouldn't like to be doing it daily.

    Good luck.

    Lurch.
    Why is it when i have a few quid left in my account,something always goes wrong?

    I would say yes it would, gfs parents have one...but double check and let us know.
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

  • Thanks, im a bit shocked about not fitting in a range rover very well, they are bigger then x5's surely?

    Depends on size of car seats - The booster seats are ok but some of the 0-6 month ones seem to have been designed to cope with a stint in afghanistan rather than a trip to tescos and back.

    Don't know if this would be your type of car but I can fit 3 in my Honda FRV.
