What Car Seats 3 Adults and 2 Child Seats?

I've been looking at large SUVs, but the common problem is that you can't access the third row with two full size child restraint seats, and the third row more often than not, doesn't have top tether anchors for the seats.

What cars would fit the bill? The manufacturers don't make it easy to find. So far I think Mazda CX-9 and Kia Carnival would do. Any others?

  • Hyundai Staria Highlander

  • Kluger pretty easily. Prado is doable too though bit of a squeeze.

    Kia Carnival would do

    tick, rest will all be annoying/access restricted if you intend of having the child seats in the outer most positions in the 2nd row.

    • Let alone pram etc behind the 3rd row.. No chance on a Kluger, Prado, etc etc, really any 7 seater.

      Just buy the Carnival, you'll feel far better about the space available

    Dodge ram

  • Agree carnival
    As an alternative, on many 5+2 seaters they have isofix in the third row, could you put one child seat in middle row, and one child seat in back row? Reckon we could swing this set up in our Sorento (currently have three child seats across middle row)

    • That could work if there's a top tether in the back? The isofix still needs it.

      • Believe the flip up seats have a tether on the back 👍🏻

  • Back when I had rugrats, the Falcon had width for toddler plus booster seat plus adult in the back.
    Do you really need a monster SUV to do that now?

    • Yes.

    • Its been a while since you could get a falcon wagon.

      As an avid fan of Musk, I was sure you'd recommend his POS Cybersuck .

    • I suspect the average width of adults has increased recently too.

    Honda Odyssey is another. Can import the hybrid from Japan. Can get the 2/2/3 configuration

    • Another vote for the Honda Odyssey.

      Check out the current model(RC) but 7 seater. the 2 middle row seats can move independently of each other, they can slide back, forward and sideways. So you can slide the seats further apart so there's an aisle in the middle big enough to walk through to the 3rd row without needing to adjust the middle row seats.

    I think the bigger question here is…. 3 adults and 2 kids, hmm …. …. Polygamy? :-/

    (I get it's probably so they can take a grandparent or something but it's not prima facie how it sounds)

    geez I am good at riddles.

  • Most cars will.
    The question is sizes of adults, and for how long in the car.
    The next questions, is how large is you wallet and garage.
