Reckon I'll fit three kids in back of a RAV4?

Hi, I was wondering about fitting two car seats and a booster in a RAV4; is this possible? We will have a new born and a 20-month old and a four-year old. Just wondering is a new car the only option or is there a possible combination of seats?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Jennie,

It depends on the model of RAV4. If it’s the previous (up to 2019) model, then I think you’ll struggle as the rear seat was very narrow. The new, current-shape, RAV4 might let you squeeze them in though as it’s a good bit bigger. Of course not all seats are equal and if you shop around a little you might find seats that are a little narrower and which fit better. For the booster seat, a good recommendation is a Bubble Bum — they’re inflatable and can usually squeeze between other seats a bit more easily.
