Children's Car Seats

Hi,

Anyone have child seats in their car? I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old, both in forward facing (obviously) car seats. Will there be enough room for their legs? Anyone with pictures of their kids sitting in the rear of their F10?

We are 5' 9" and 5' 3" in the front seats.

Thanks

Hi Grover. I have a two and four year old and my wife and I are both fairly tall. We can fit in with room to spare. Both front facing of course. It was tight in my old 3 series but much better in the 5.

I'm hoping the kids have enough room for their feet without having to turn them sideways. I don't mind if they touch the back of the front seats I just want them to have enough room to move comfortably. Thanks.

Should be no problem. Maybe take them down to the dealer and try before you buy?

3 kids here, ages 5-9 when I first got the car. Biggest problem at the ages of your kids is their legs won't really bend at the seat, so it can be a lil tight. Mine tended to bend their legs ( eg cross their legs). My wife was driving a Flex at the same time, and that was like a bus in comparison. Looked like one too...

my kids are 5 and 8 I am 5-9 and find it better if my 5 year old girl seat behind me instead of my 8 old boy due to the space, they both sue Britex kidfix seats.

We expecting a 3rd one, we see how my wife X3 manages as I stand no chance to fit 3 car seats 2 forward facing and one back ward with the F10, the space on the X3 is double the one in the 5 series for the interior, far more comfortable for the kids and all.

I have a 6 year old in a booster seat and a 3 year old in forward facing car seat. Lots more space than my 3 series, but not a lot of leg room to spare. When going on longer drives we are sure to take my wife's Toyota Venza.
