Which Cars Fit Three Car Seats?

UPDATE: Parents are often searching for the automotive holy grail: a car that's not a minivan and can fit three child-safety seats across the backseat. It's a short list. In the more than two years that Cars.com editors have been installing car seats into test vehicles, we've come across only a handful of cars that can hold three car seats across a backseat. The latest car to make our list is the 2013 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew Cab, a pickup truck. To be considered a fit, there must be enough room between the booster seat and infant-safety seat for a child's hand to reach the seat belt buckle. As we come across more cars that fit three child-safety seats, we'll add to this list. For now, here are the cars from our Car Seat Checks that can fit three car seats in the second row: 2013 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew Cab 2013 Chevrolet Impala 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser 2012 Honda Pilot 2012 Land Rover LR4 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class 2011 Chrysler 300 and 300C 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011 Land Rover LR4 2011 Nissan Murano Minivans If you have three or more kids in car seats, consider a minivan. They excel at hauling families and all their gear and can be quite luxurious as we found out in the Ultimate Minivan Shootout. 2012 Mazda5 2011 Chrysler Town & Country and 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan 2011 Honda Odyssey 2011 Nissan Quest 2011 Toyota Sienna 2011 Volkswagen Routan For Car Seat Checks, the front seats are adjusted to a comfortable position for a 6-foot driver and a 5-foot-8 passenger. The three child seats — a high-back booster seat, convertible car seat and rear-facing infant-safety seat — are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver's seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the passenger seat. We also install the infant seat in the second row's middle seat with the booster and convertible in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit. If there's a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible.
