yes! it fitted the rear facing car seat for my little one and the booster seats without much issues. When the infant seat was installed, I know the passenger seat would not lock, so I had to hold it every time I braked, else it would tip over. once we went to a rear facing regular seat, it was fine. it was a tight fit in front but it worked ok, especially since I dont sit anywhere but the driver's seat

How does this all work? I am new to this and will probably need to shop for some carseats as well pretty soon. I looked at complete travel systems where you mount the car seat directly to the stroller. Isn't there like a base that goes inside the car and you just click carseat in place and vice versa?
something like this https://www.amazon.com/Chicco-Keyfit...00MS9VTG0?th=1 |

That one is nice for when they are babies as you can take them out with the carseat while they are sleeping for example.... |

Edit: looks like I would need 1 infant and then probably switch to something permanent convertible, 4-in-1 or something Last edited by Kolyan2k; 12-15-2017 at 05:03 PM.. |

Best is if you can borrow the infant one...cause you will only use it for like 8-9 months |

You can use anchors to mount the carseat base in the middle position? I didnt know that, I though there would be spacing issues. Will try

But I did try to seat in the back (for the 1st time) and there is ton of room behind drivers seat. I am 5'7 and seat far back in reclined position (drivers seat) and yet even I was able to fit in the back fine. I could fit 2 wives in there easy Last time my dad had trouble seating in IS350 behind me.....maybe after all 2-series is roomier then sedan. We sure take my car for Home Depot runs....cant fit shit in Lexus Edit: fits fine in IS too. Roughly the same amount of room in front and maybe same or a little less in the back behind the driver. Easier to get the carseat out though, no need to wiggle it out from the back seat of M235i Last edited by Kolyan2k; 01-24-2018 at 07:40 PM.. |

I have a 8 month old and a 3 year old. Behind the passenger seat I have a rear facing britax b safe car seat (a carrier) and behind the diver seat I have a forward facing britax frontier clicktight. It's tight in the front passenger seat but usually if my wife is with me we're taking the x5. That said we have done it and we fit. In front of the front facing seat there is plenty of room, I sit where I normally do when my son is back there.

You guys I'm having a baby in April and have been looking sadly at an X3 thinking I gotta sell my M235i but let me try to get my car seat to fit. I have a Peg Prego Nido car seat, I gotta try the trick with putting it in the centre. Gotta make sure it fits securely over the middle "hump" between the two seats.

I have a 5 month old in a rear facing child seat. When I first mounted the seat on the passenger side, it didn't leave much room for the person in front. I've since re-positioned the seat to the middle and it now works like a charm. Both front seats can still go back and it's easy to reach back and check on your child if need be.
For those that are still shopping for a seat, I'm using an Uppababy Mesa. The base for it has the tethers that hook onto the seat latches. It fits well in our cars and connects securely. Biggest p.i.t.a. is trying to lift the seat in or out once with a heavy baby due to the distance and tight fit. Edit: I'd also recommend getting some type of seat cover to go under the base. I just bought a cheap one from a local auto supply store, but it does the trick for absorbing the wear and tear that would otherwise be going directly to the seat. |

edit: nevermind, I see that MESA uses LATCH system where mechanism is flexible, Nuna has ISOFIX where mechanism is fixed Last edited by Kolyan2k; 02-12-2018 at 05:23 PM.. |
