We have recently become a family of 5, with three children under the age of 7. My Smax has now had it's day and I'm looking for something that has a bit more personality and style to it.

Is anybody aware of whether it is possible to fit three child seats (2 boosters and one maxi cosi) in a Q5?

I really don't want another MPV and am loathe to buy a landrover..

All opinions and advice gratefully recieved.

We run two child seats in ours (one to suit a 3 - 5 yr old and one to suit a 5 - 8 year old) and there is not much room left in the middle. My wife can just squeeze in between them for short journies when we have a fifth passenger but it's a very tight squeeze. I think if we had to fit 3 seats across, we would have gone for something a bit wider. With just the two kids seats the Q5 suits us nicely.

What you should do to confirm for yourself is go along to your dealer with child seats in hand and try it out. I'm sure the dealer won't mind and you are much better off getting the definitive answer for yourself.

Hi

We've got a full size child seat in the middle and a booster each side and it fits ok - it's a bit of a squeeze but once they're in its comfortable and safe for them

Hope that helps

Thanks Adi. We will be testing it out tomorrow to see for ourselves if it all fits. I'm guessing it's tricky get the belts done up for the children on the boosters?

How do you get on with the boot space? Is there room for much more than a buggy?
