[ I have only one in a booster still and he sits either side never centre, my wife purchase a new booster for him when we purchased the car it has a useful Velcro shoulder strap for the safety belt that the old one never had. We had a Berlina wagon originally there is defiantly more leg room and Luxury in the rear and my 10 year old doesn't mind the narrow middle seat! I hate it, but I never sit in the back. Hope it helps Thanks for that. We are maybe wondering if as the children wont know any different they might not care. Could always bribe them if it became an issue. Thanks again

Ah there might still be hope for me then I know that when buying a seat for my eldest son a Maxi Rider was too wide so I found an Infa brand seat which has all the features but is alot narrower. This was the only way to get all 3 seats in my current car. About to purchase a second Infa seat. Will definately try them in a car before I buy though Thanks

Thanks so much for your response. Why does the child seat not sit well in the middle? Is it due to the width and or design of the centre seat? The width of the new Kluger is the same as my Commodore so I know that we will fit the 3 seats in (just!) . I have read some people have trouble with the straps holding the booster in sliding down the sides of the centre seat though have discovered this can be fixed by placing the strap under the headrest. Might have to turn up to my local dealer with all 3 seats and give it a go. Might be hard as we will most likely not be buying our car through them. We really want a Kluger over the Territory but this whole 2nd row seat issue is making it very hard for us!. Thanks again.

Hubby and I are looking to purchase a 7 seater. The main criteria is that we can fit 3 child restraints safely in the 2nd row (dont want to use 3rd row on daily basis). We have narrowed our choices to a Ford Territory or a Toyota Kluger with the Kluger being our #1 pick. Does anyone currently have 3 restraints in a Kluger?. How does that work with the middle "seat" (if you could call it that) in the second row? Some reviews I have read say that you are unable to use a child restraint in the centre position though the local dealer said this was fine Also does anyone know if its safe to use a child restraint in the 2nd row with the curtain airbags. One minute the saleperson was telling me that car seat covers will interfere with the functioning of the airbags then in the next breath said it was fine to use a child restraint, even if it did overlap the side of the seat a little?. One more question How do you find the comfort of the middle seat in the 2nd row. It looks awful though was OK when I sat there for a few minutes at the car yard. Not sure how it will be in the future when I want one of my children to sit there for any length of time (once they are out of child seats of course). Still a little ****** at Toyota for not atleast having the option of a "3" full seats in the 2nd row. This would make it our perfect car. Hope you guys can help with some honest answers Thanks
