3 child seats in the back of a Rav4?

[melsrav4]

Hello all! We currently have 2 child booster seats comfortably in the back of our 2005 Rav4, but are struggling to fit a baby seat (birth to 18kg style) in the back aswell! With the changes in child restraint laws in the second half of 2009 we are going to be in quite a spot of bother as we can't upgrade this car due to it being tied up with a novated lease ... oh the joy!

Has anyone managed to fit 3 car seats across the back of a Rav4? If so, what brand and models are they? We live in country SA so can't just pop into a store and try a range of them out unfortunately.

Would love to hear if anyone has managed to do this - my fingers are crossed that there is a solution!!

Cheers

Hi Mel

We have the 2006 rav which is wider and sadly there is no way we can three across.

Oh dear! Thanks Dazzler - although not what I was hoping to hear, at least I know. Still, if there is anyone else out there who has managed this I would love to know!

a friend of mine (doesn't have a Rav but a Hyundai something or other) She had to buy narrow seats to fit in her toddler and two baby twins. Don't know about the '06 Rav. Might be worth going to Babies Galore or something. Surely someone's conered the market with smaller seat. Good luck.

BTW we have a '99 Rav and got the SnS Maxi Rider and a rear facing seat and there's no way we could even fit a thought between those two seats let alone another seat AAARRGH!

Hi jamesmummy! Yes I think I may have to try and find some slimline booster seats. Have just discovered that the RAA do a slimline one which is about $200 odd dollars, but I am yet to put the baby car seat in and then go down and see if 2 of these slimline seats will work.... Hmmm! A hint for anyone considering the RAV4 - as much as we love this car, it wont work out for anyone with more than 2 children to carry in the back!
