Does anyone have a BMW X3 with 2 boosters and an infant seat? Also what woould be the ideal seating positions for my three kids in this car? Does the infant seat always go in the middle (it it fits)?

The center install in both my 5 series and the X5s that I test drove were extremely difficult. I find that the base of my convertible seat sit right on top of the buckles for the 2 outboard positions. This could be a problem for you down the road when the infant seat is outgrown and you have 2 other kids trying to buckle in. I could foresee them accidental unbuckling the carseat. There is no LATCH in the center so it could easily happen that they unbuckle the seatbelt. I have not personally tried the X3, but seeing that it is smaller than the 5s, I have to imagine the problem being even worse. So I would suggest trying the carseat in one of the outboard positions, but the problem with that is that the seats were so close to the front ones that either the passenger or driver have to ride very close to the dash. An infant seat will likely take up the most room front to back.
