car seats

Gday,

I'm considering upgrading my dual cab ute to a GX fortuner to accommodate 3 children better. Does anyone have 3 car seats fitted to theirs, as I have 3 under 4 years old I will need 3 car seats and am just wondering how well they'll fit.

Cheers

we have a fortuner with 2 baby seats in it. 1 on each side. me being a big guy can still fit in between them so i beleive 3 seats would be fine

thanks for that. I hope they fit nicely, i'm really keen on getting one! I might go and harass the dealer to let me test mine in one

We have put 3 child seats in the back for 8/6/4 yo. They fit okay, but with a couple of small qualifications:

The anchor for the centre seat is in the roof. Which might set in the way of putting bulky stuff in the boot. The other 2 anchors are in the rear of the seat, so don't have this issue.

The other thing is that the buckles are hard to get to with all 3 seats in. Only an issue with older kids who take the seatbelt on and off rather than use a built-in harness.

Just be aware that you can't put kids seats in the 3 row seats as there are no anchor points. This caught me out.
