Sorry, I beg to differ.... however I have an older crv so maybe this is why. I can and have fit 3 seats across the back. When dd3 was born we had a capsule and 2 safe n sound Compaqs. Then when she was old enough we moved her into the Compaq and got a hi-liner for dd1. Now dd2 is old enough and has a hi liner as well. Yep its a bit of a pain but we are used to it. I have the Compaq in the middle and hi-liners on the outside. When we have to do their belts up we just move the seats to the side to get our hands to the buckle then once clipped we move them back and adjust. As for the boot room...awesome. we have a Phil n teds double and I can get loads of shopping in there. We also go camping a lot and we can pack loads in. Only problem with mine is it won't fit #4 in:-)
