3 child seats in rear of X5
Discussion
Of an E70 ? Very much doubt it's possible....depends how old your kids are I suppose though.
I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old in the respective car seats for those ages in the back of mine....there's not room for another car seat between them....the existing deats are on ISOFIX brackets....if you didn't have ISOFIX seats I suppose the seats could be nearer the side so there may be room.
You can get an E70 with a third row of seats which I have in mine ? That might be what you need.

Not sure what E70 means so will have to look it up. I have two the same age as yours and all being well another on the way. Won't fit in my FFRR so am looking at a Disco 4 where they will fit. Just thought an X5 may be an option but looking at pics I reckon it will be the same issue as my RR. Third row not much use at this age really and the Disco 4 has that as well.I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old in the respective car seats for those ages in the back of mine....there's not room for another car seat between them....the existing deats are on ISOFIX brackets....if you didn't have ISOFIX seats I suppose the seats could be nearer the side so there may be room.

Ridiculous isn't it that what is after all is a bloody massive car can't fit three kids in it in car seats. If someone built car seats that could still offer the same protection but be narrower I reckon there would be a decent market for it.....i.e. use higher tech materials to provide rigidity without the bulk.
You could get one of these

Not really going to do justice to an £80k RR though!

I know, its mad. I have a 2013 RR on order for December which I can't have for this very reason. When I asked RR why they don't even offer a 3 seat option in the rear of a £80k car they simply said the RR is not aimed at large families. Idiots
I've just changed from a Vogue to a Disco 4 because I've got three teenagers and the middle seat in the Disco is not a shrunken version of the outer two seats. Plus, of course, there are two more foldable seats in the rear.Cheib said:

Man do I owe you a pint... This could well be the perfect solution although not quite sure how we will cope with the baby until it's 1yro. Further investigation needed http://www.multimac.co.uk/car_seats

All depends on the age of the children..........
Given your occupation any comments on the Mulitmac. Would really appreciate your feedback. ThanksYes it's very convenient but also very awkward.

To be honest boobles once fitted (which I assume the manufacturer will do) it wouldn't really need to be removed. Well not at least for 12 years !!!
The seat would need to be checked/adjusted pretty much after every journey. Seat belts etc can & will become lose after each journey.Have you had a look on some "fitfinding" sites? Or perhaps contacting some of them for advice?

I get the feeling you don't approve and I will listen. Fortunately I have an independant baby equipment retailer near me and no matter how hard we try its just impossible to get 3 independant seats in the back of a FFRR. Can you elaborate please on Seat Belts coming loose as my understanding is it doesn't use the car beltsHave you had a look on some "fitfinding" sites? Or perhaps contacting some of them for advice?

My apologies, I meant the "tether" straps that are used to secure it down. There are 3 of these if I remember correct (because of the 3 seat option) & they will all have to be adjusted independently & it's these straps that can & will become lose after most journeys. I am not a fan purely because I remember how awkward it was, but if there is nothing else out there then perhaps this is the only option for you.

Your thoughts are hugely appreciated. I suppose the best bet is to ask for a demo and have a look. Thanks again. NickI am not a fan purely because I remember how awkward it was, but if there is nothing else out there then perhaps this is the only option for you.
