Default How well can two car seats and an adult fit in the second row of RX?

Hey everyone. Long time reader finally close to making a purchase. Just found out we are expecting baby #2. Want to know how well two car seats and an adult can fit in the second row of the RX (not RX-L). Thanks!

Car seats would be fine, but if the adult is on the taller side of the scale, it will be bit uncomfortable.

Not sure what you mean by "the third row of a two row version".?
If you mean the 2018 350L, from what I've read, no, that won't work.

My mistake. Not sure how that happened. I meant to write the second row of a two-row RX.

Sounds like the fit will be too tight. That’s a shame. My wife really likes this car but may not be a good option.

Are you using 2 car seats or 1 car seat and one booster? If its one car seat and one booster, there is enough room. Mount the car seat in the middle and booster on the side.

The babies will be fine. The adult will need help.

I've had one grandchild in a carseat in the middle, one on the side in a booster and grandma on the other side. I wouldn't go across country like that, but locally it was fine.

I have a 2 years old in the middle with a forward facing, an 11 YO on one size and an 17 YO on the other size. All is well.

i have two maxi cosi pria 85 - one forward facing and one rear racing.

An adult has sat in the middle for about 15-20 mile trips - they are a bit uncomfortable. but it is doable.

the car seats i have are a bit on the bulky side. so if you have two car seats that are less bulky and on the slim side - you will be fine.

i suspect if both seats were rear facing the adult sitting in the middle would be a bit more comfortable.

I have a Britax child seat on one side and a child booster seat on the other. Just enough room for one adult to sit in the middle but it's not comfortable for long rides.

The adult in the middle of the second row will hate you!
