#13 of 42 cx-9 with three carseats by need_a_cx9 Nov 23, 2007 (1:19 pm)
I have a cx9 and I have installed three carseats. I have all three carseats in the second row. I have two Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 carseats on either side of one graco snugride. You can access the third row by sliding the whole bench but it is very tight.
#14 of 42 2nd row seat positioning for child car seat by bostie3 Mar 17, 2008 (7:52 pm)
I looked the in the manual for directions to install a front facing car seat in the second row seats. It says to first slide the 2nd row seat back to the last position (farthest back). Is this for safety reasons or just so you have ample room to fumble around and install the car seat????? If I keep the seat slid all the way back it's impossible for people to sit in the third row without bumping their knees. Id rather have the 2nd row seats in the middle position so the 3rd row seats are usable. I dont want to compromise my childs safety, however. What do you think??   THANKS!

Replying to: bostie3 (Mar 17, 2008 7:52 pm) No reason why that should be the case. In general the safest row is the 2nd (middle position). Too near the back, you get rear ended, too near the front and you are exposed to the most common type of collision. By the way the Cx-9 is rated better for front collisions than for rear, so to my simple mind the opposite would be true.   We have one rear facing and one front facing on our second row and a front booster seat in the 3rd row behind the single seat. Because we need access to the 3rd row we push the 2nd row forward to assist easy entry.   The best thing you can do for your children is to drive safely and love them (which I'm sure you do)
#16 of 42 Twins and the CX-9 by greenduke Apr 14, 2008 (11:15 am)
My wife and I really like the CX-9. We have newborn twins with two rear-facing Graco Snugride car seats. If there is one seat in the 60% side and one on the 40% side, is it possible to access the third row without launching someone over the seat? At first glance, it looked like you could push the front passenger seat all the way up and then push the 40% seat up as far as it would go with a car seat attached, and still have a little room to squeeze a normal sized adult into the back. Anyone know if this is possible? Replies to this message: rookie22 (Apr 16, 2008 10:31 am) wuk (Apr 16, 2008 1:05 pm) greenduke (Apr 22, 2008 7:37 am)

Replying to: greenduke (Apr 14, 2008 11:15 am) We have 1-1/2 month old twins and a 2-1/2 yr old toddler. We were debating between the CX-9 and the Enclave but ended up buying the CX-9. We bought two Babytrend Flex-loc infant car seats which we've put on the 60% side. The toddler seat is in the third row behind the 60%. This way we can move the 40% forward, get the toddler in, strap her in and then put the infant car seats into the 60%. We chose the Flex-loc car seats since they're one of the narrowest infant car seats in the market (beats paying $5k extra for the Enclave !! + you get zoom-zoom to play with when there's no one in the car ). This setup seems to be working well for us. I personally think that pushing the front passenger seat all the way up and then pushing the 40% seat up to get to the back seat every time will be a pain.

Replying to: rookie22 (Apr 16, 2008 10:31 am) in a few months when your newborns are older, you'll be riding with 3 convertible carseats. Would 2 of those still fit on the 60% side?   Are there three "Latch" System seats in the second row? Or just 2 (on the outside)? Looking to purchase and didn't notice last time I went to dealer.   Thanks!

Replying to: rookie22 (Apr 16, 2008 10:31 am) Thanks, I will look into the Flex-loc option. I agree pushing the front passenger seat up all the way is not optimal, but we don't anticipate having to use the third row all that often. We just want it there for those times we do need it.
#20 of 42 2 Britax in second row by kanada Sep 01, 2008 (3:44 am)
wondering if anyone has tried fitting 2 britax (roundabout model) carseats in the 2nd row? Replies to this message: jchappel (Sep 01, 2008 10:29 am) kanada (Sep 01, 2008 7:08 pm) gatorstew (Dec 17, 2008 7:01 am)

Replying to: kanada (Sep 01, 2008 3:44 am) No problem fitting two Britax seats in the second row, but I wouldn't try and fit someone between them unless they are really small. Replies to this message: kanada (Sep 01, 2008 7:08 pm) gatorstew (Dec 17, 2008 7:01 am)

Replying to: jchappel (Sep 01, 2008 10:29 am) I was actually wondering if they fit side by side so that I could slide the 40% 2nd row seat for 3rd row access. If you don't have the 2 car seats side by side, do you still have access to the third row without much difficulty? Replies to this message: gatorstew (Dec 17, 2008 7:01 am)
