We've got a new 150 GXL and have come across a problem I really wasn't expecting. We've had 3 car seats in it before - 2 Hi-Liner booster seats on the sides and a narrow forward facing one for a 3yr old in the middle. That worked pretty well with 200mm seat belt extenders (the 300mm ones are too long)
Now the 3yr old is 4 so can move into a booster seat - she doesn't really fit into the baby seat anymore. On the weekend we went to put in another Hi-Liner booster seat and... can't see how to get it to fit in the middle. The middle seat belt buckle seems to be well under the middle car seat. Because the booster seats have a flatter base than the baby seats it sits "on top" of the buckle, making the seat wobble.
Has anyone managed to fit 3 car seats across the back of a facelifted 150 GXL? How did you do it?
I'm really disappointed - one of the reasons we moved from a Subaru Outback to the Prado was more space in the back for 3 booster seats... now it looks like they won't fit. I guess I should have checked before we bought it.
