My husband and I are in the process of buying a car. We have two kids (18 months and 3 months) in rear facing and eventually will possibly have a 3rd. We will get a minivan at some point, but in this round would like a two row SVU. I have a long commute to work so gas mileage is important to us as well. We were interested in the Mazda CX-5 but I read a lot of reviews saying you could not fit three across the back. The Car Sear Lady's current guide says they were unable to fit the bubble bum in it. Most cite the 40-20-40 split to be an issue.
When we went to test drive the car, I brought our Britax Marathon and our Chicco KeyFit 30, which is what the kids are in now. I installed the Britax behind the driver and the KeyFit30 in the middle seat and there was a lot of room in the seat behind passenger. I feel confident with the installation having been taught by multiple certified people, but all of these articles I am reading are making me nervous.
So my question is this: is it impossible to fit three across? I know type of carseat matters,but I didn't seem to have an issue with two.
I know there are other car options, we just love the gas mileage on this.
