Kids are 7, 5 and 19 months so that's one proper seat and two boosters.

I think that would be do-able. Our 2.5 year old is still in a proper child seat which is quite wide. I've had 2 adults in the back of my 9-3 estate alongside the little one in his seat and despite it being a squeeze they fitted.

Hi,

I think it is possible, but it will be tight to fasten seat belts and you may also need to work out which is the best combo, boosters at each side and main child seat in middle etc.

You may also need to change the car seats that you already have to make them fit.

I would defo try the seats before you buy. I have 2010 93 sports wagon.

We managed to cram the opposite - two seats and a booster - into our 9-5 wagon, but it was a PITA. I'd be willing to bet that there aren't three sets of ISOFIX points?

There is a long-running thread on child seats in GG somewhere that may be useful.

Funnily enough I tested this is my 2008 estate.

I would say it is possible. I reckon alongside our childseat we can still fit two adults in the back. I was surprised to be honest..

How are you finding the car? I bought it as a daily runner for kiddie duties...
