Fitting 3 baby car seats

shadykit · 01-05-2019, 03:32 PM

Hello all,

Has anybody here had success of fitting 3 car seats in the rear?
I'm in the market for an 2015-2016 M5 and wanted to see if that was possible?
I'm coming from a C63S sedan with 2 car seats now and is expecting another little one in the next few months. 3 seats is def out of the question for my current car.

thank you.

Even if you somehow manage, it would be a really tight and uncomfortable fit.

I'm afraid it's time to get a minivan

How old are the other 2, it's should be fine if they have enough hooks just don't buy the bulky ones that eventually turn into a booster. I am going through the same thing you are but on my x5.

Not an M5, but I have an F10 and have a working setup as follows:
Two standard (backless) booster seats on the outer two seats.
One highback, slim-width booster seat in the middle seat.

They all seem to fit quite happily together but the slight downside is, and this would possible affect any seat you have on the two outer seats, is that due to the nature of the F10's backrest, which has a slight angle near the either door side, the boosters on the two outer seats sit at a slight angle (angled inwards towards centre console ever so slightly). The width of the car isnt the cause, but the shape of the backrest and its slightly angle-in design.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, i found a website that shows which seats to buy to fit 3 in the rear. Just have to get narrow car seats. My oldest is 5 so can technically be in a booster.
I'm not ready to drive a daily SUV yet lol.

I have a clek fllo rear facing in the center with the seat belt. I don't think it will quite rearface on the passenger side unless the seat is all the way forward (my moms f10 528 it fits okay but the seats are much smaller). But rear face center, front face driver or passenger side should be okay. Clek Fllo is a great seat, very happy with it. A lot of people get the Diono radian too for three across configurations.

hope this helps.

3 car seats don't fit in an x5 either.

3 Diono RXT car seats should fit across. I have two of them for our little ones and there seems to be room for a 3rd one. Exceptional car seats and we got these after our kid's outgrew their Recaro's.
