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.

Thank you for replying

This morning I went to view a Qubo and all I can say is the photos and videos don't do it justice. The dealer described it as a Tardis and that is the best way to describe. I was confused by how spacious this small mpv is. It's definitely the right car for my family and considering there was much less space between the car seats in the ford b-max I also looked at too. I know it seems like a strange ask for that 5 seat, when it's just 4 of us, but we want it to take my mum or my partners out with us.
