Has anyone been able to fit 2 carseats & a booster in their X5?

[IGotId]

Specifically, a infant seat (for a newborn), a convertible car seat (1y.o.) & a booster (5y.o.)? I'd need to fit 2 convertibles in about a yr...

I'd like to get the third row & let my 5y.o. sit back their occasionally but would like to be able to fit all 3 in the 2nd row for longer trips...

Yes I have had several combo's that work well. I have a 1, 3 and 5 year old.

This was my first setup (Britax Marathon, Combi Coccoro, Safety 1st Complete Air:


That X was crashed so I got another X and new seats.

This combo worked but it was a tight squeeze to buckle the booster (sorry, you get my kids in the pic, I don't have a pic without the kids ) : Graco Turbo Booster, Combi Coccoro, Safety 1st Complete Air



Right now I have a rear-facing Combi Coccoro behind the driver's seat for my 18 month old, forward facing Radian XTSL in the middle for my 5 year old, and a rear-facing Radian behind the passenger for the 3 year old.

Honestly if the 5yo fits, a harnessed seat like the Radian is the way to go as it's narrower than most boosters and it's easier to buckle. A Radian for the oldest, with a narrow infant seat like the Combi Shuttle or Chicco Keyfit (or skip the infant seat and go for the Combi Coccoro) and a rear-facing convertible like the Radian or Complete Air would be perfect

Someone had posted pics of 3 car seats in the back.

thanks for the pics/post...we'll be using a peg perego "primo viaggio" for the newborn who's arriving in a couple of months (it's been well worth the money, both older kids used the same setup!), my 1y.o. is in a recaro convertible which is HUGE & will probably need to be replaced...my 5y.o. is in a backless booster...

Wow. I thought one was a handful !!!

Good to know you can fit that many! Impressive. My 10-month old seems like a handful ... hats off to you!!

With Radian XTSL's, you can fit three across in the 2nd row without issue. I have a Marathon and Radian, I could put any kinda seat for the third.

thanks...good to know that we can get 3 in a row...although i'll be ordering the 3rd row (my 5y.o. can use the 3rd row most of the time)

It would be pretty hard to fit three across with the Recaro convertible, and the infant seat will need to be replaced anyway since it's expired (Peg Perego seats expire five years from the date of manufacture) but with three skinny seats you would be able to get three in there.

yeah, i think the recaro would move to my wife's MDX...i had no idea about peg's expiring, thanks! btw, i assume that i should be able to get a backless booster in between 2 of the skinny radian seats?
