We're toying w/ a BMW 745 or 525 wagon but I'm not sure about fitting 3 across. We have 1 Frontier, 1 Frontier 85 and a Signo.

Has anyone had any luck w/ these or similar?

TIA!:)

We have a 3series BMW wagon. We fit three across but, one MUST be rear-facing in the middle and it's only possible with Sunshine radian seats. The problem with BMWs are the sloped cabin roof, bucket seat and a big hump in the middle. The middle hump may just be us with the 3series. It's possible, but you'll likely need new seat and have to mess around quite a lot.

Man, those seats are beasts. I've seen 2 on the outboards where it looked like you should be able to fit one in the middle. All forward facing. But they were skinnier seats.

Why don't you go to the dealer with all 3 seats and try it? Before I bought a car, I tested potential vehicles by bringing my seat and stroller along to make sure they fit.

Yup, that middle bump is a PIA.

Good to know that a Radian will work there. I did not own one at the time that we still had our 5 series. Nor did I need to manage 3 across. :)
