3 car seats in the back

Brilliant! A bit pricey, but not more than buying 3-4 car seats and trading in your car.
One of these might help?? Child Car Seats - 4 Child Car Seat, 3 Child Car Seat & Accessories
Just noticed someone else posted the same. Oops.
Model S is wider than a 3.

Hey! Those are the ages when the baby is born. He's 6 right now.
But yes, pretty sure he has to use a booster until age 12 (by law)
Thanks. I love the look of these, did see it, but way too expensive for a lease car (3-4 years?) and you still have to add seats on top...
Has anyone managed to get 3 seats in the back of a Y?

Age 12, or 135cm tall - whichever comes first. Several boys in my daughters class (age 8) are already out of booster seats as taller than 135cm....
Took a click through, thought ooo, cool solution (to a problem I don't have TBH), then got to the price.
Eyebrows appear to have gone missing
.Booster is only needed until 135 (ish), and legally there is a pass for the middle seat. That doesn't mean the child can see out or is safe, just that you aren't breaking the law. From Child car seats: the law
That said, I wouldn't be happy with it, although a fair bit of protection is implied by the 2 seats to either side?
Having just hired a Y for holiday, it definitely felt more spacious in the back. Need to book yourself a test drive and take the existing seats along and see how much space there is in the middle. There are some middle seat specific boosters these days I think?
booster is partly designed to push the body up to reach adult chest belts? If so, I wonder if you could sit in the middle using the headrest of one of the neighbouring car seats to pull the chest belt down to their level? From my recollection they usually have a little slot/hook to redirect the chest belt at a safe height?
Ah, so this sounds similar to the 3. Y is apparently slightly wider, but not enough I guess
Thanks, I've tried to book an overnight test drive, but the days haven't suited me yet. Problem is our baby seat is pretty huge, need to a small one, so probably need a trip to Halfords or similar tooTook a click through, thought ooo, cool solution (to a problem I don't have TBH), then got to the price.

I suspect the overall width isn't enough to make a difference, but the seats are higher so not so sunken back between the wheel arches. Definitely worth a look.
Or there is the enyaq. Similar capabilities to the Y, but no SC network. Not sure I'd like to give that up, but if it's that or leave one of the kids behind...
There’s heaps of YouTube videos about this, three fit in a Y - the first two in my pic are mega wide Britax and the third is a regular booster that slots into the isofix no issues. If I was doing this all the time I might invest in Diono slimline seats or even the ones in this video:
One thing to think about is isofix. For short journeys we’ve managed to fit a grandparent between the seats by moving them off the isofix mounting to seatbelt only (a supported option for our seats) and pushing them right out to the edges.
