elmwood22 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have a question for a select few; Is it possible to fit 3 car seats, be it a baby seat, and two toddler car seats, in the back of a 2007 Subaru Outback. We have a third baby coming this fall, and really do not want to give up the AWD of a Subaru for a minivan- not trying to slight minivans. Has anyone had success with fitting 3 car seats? If so, what brand of car seat, and what type of arrangement was used? Any and all information is appreciated. Thanks in advance......hopefully:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I believe there are three LATCH attachment points in the back of the Outback, so it should be doable. I can't offer specifics on which seats to get though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 i think the width is what will catch you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyko Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 My sister has a 2010 Outback and a third kid on the way. She said it isn't wide enough to fit three car seats (4 year old, 2 year old and newborn), so they ended up adding a Tahoe. I imagine a 2007 will have the same problem but worse.

forester2002s Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I can tell you about my 2002 Forester, but I don't know how it compares to an Outback. I have three seats in the back of the Forester: - 2 child seats; and - 1 booster seat. The three seats side-by-side completely fill the width of the car, from door to door. The booster-seat is in the middle, and that child gets in first; we have to separate the other 2 empty child-seats a bit, in order to get the middle belt fastened. Then the other 2 children get buckled-in. It's a bit of a hassle, but it works. We are grandparents, so we don't have to do this on a daily basis. The biggest problem is having the 3 kids sitting within punching distance of each other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yes, they fit, but it's really tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
