Hi all

Am seriously considering a Doblo, but soon we will be needing to fit 3 group 1 (forward facing) car seats in the back. Can someone measure the width of the rear seat for me?

I know I could get the family and have 5 seats in the back but we need the boot space too...tricky!

Thanks

Peter

51" or 130cm

Thanks, sludgeguts.

Apparently the group 1 car seat we have at the moment is 440mm wide. Three of them would be 132cm so it might just fit...I'll have to measure the seat width of our current mondeo to compare.

The width of the mondeo is actually slightly larger than that of the Doblo, but I'm guessing that the Doblo has thinner sides so that the seat is actually wider?

Has anyone else ever had three car seats in the back of their Doblo?

Thanks

Peter

By the way, sludgeguts, what year is your Doblo? Am I right in thinking that the newest models have individual rear seats (in the middle row) whereas the older ones had a 60:40 split?

Thanks

This is the rear bank of my 2004 Malibu with the distances between the belt locks:



My setup:
a little bit crowded but we switched the left and right seat and now it's easier to place the belts in the locks...

Thanks malibu.

It's not so much the plugging in that might be the problem, it's just the physical fitting in of three seats. Our seats will all be like the one you have on the passenger side, so they will stay plugged in permanently. It's just whether three of them will fit across.

The other thing is I'm thinking of getting the family version as the two extra seats in the back might be handy sometimes, though most of the time we'd need to manage with the rear seat removed to give us the boot space. Not sure if the middle row of seats on the family is different to the back row on the 5-seat models.

Thanks again

Peter, mine's an 06 plate & it has the 60/40 split.

All 5 seaters have 60 40 split rear seat.
