General How does 2 car seats fit?

[Trish85]

Hello to all of you Fiat Family.
I aźm new here and very interested in buying a Qubo, i saw one and now I'm fixated on getting it. My rules to getting a new car is I need boot space, affordable and sliding doors is a must with British car parks especially when parent and kid bays aren't available.
I have 2 kids 3and , 2 cosatto on the go car seats and wondered if anyone who has 2 car seats in their qubo, do they take up all 3 seat spaces in the back?
I have a small folding pushchair
I wish more cars on sale would give examples in photos of installed child seats n and how much the boot can hold.

Thank you

I think you will find very few small cars have room in the back for two child seats/Isofix etc. plus an adult in between.
I did have a Fiat Doblo 7 seater, but rear boot space was very limited and they are bigger than the Qubo, you may have just about got a folding push chair in the back , but certainly not a weeks shopping etc.
When my five children were growing up I had Peugeot 504 and 505 Family Estates which were 7/8 seaters. In those days you had child harness type fittings for the children as the modern child seats were not available back then, so took up a lot less space than modern child seats.
Even now with my youngest and her daughter when she wanted to take other children and adults in a VW Tiguan which is quite a wide vehicle, two child seats in the rear would mean no adult inbetween.

True. I had a Nissan Pulsar until 2 months ago and there was barely any room for an adult in between the car seats, then we had a 2024 Qashqai courtesy car and the gap between the seats was even smaller, so looks really are deceiving. It's the 4 of us any way and that's what we need it for. The boot space will actually be okay for us but I plan to go to a dealers not too far from me with the car seats to check it out. But I really like the look and practicality of the Qubo.
