3rd row suv - Access w/ 2 child seats in 2nd row
Posted on 7/6/17 at 7:39 pm

Beginning our search for a new vehicle since we have another little one on the way. I noticed many vehicles need to fold down the second seat in order to access the 3rd row.
Anyone have any recommendations on crossovers or full size that have 2nd rows that can slide forward while car seats remain in place?
Thanks in advance.

Either get an SUV that has second row captains chairs or get a minivan.

Just get captains chairs in the second row

Check out new 2018 Honda Odyssey, second row seats can be slid side to side

I have an explorer with captains chairs. Excellent SUV if you don't want to go as big as a expedition.

We did Infiniti QX80 and removed the console in the second row

Swallow your pride and just get a mini van.
Most 3 row SUVs lose nearly all trunk space when the 3rd row is being used. Not to mention the 3rd row is typically not adequate for adults.

Sequoia, you can just pop out the console between the backseat captains chairs.
Wife has an Acura MDX that has a minuscule backseat that holds a booster seat for one kid. To access, you can't slide up the rear facing car seat for the smallest one, but it's accessible from sliding up the backseat with the other booster seat. If we had to do it over again, would've gone with the minivan.

I'd recommend the Acadia if you don't want to spend Yukon/expedition money

#3 otw for us too. We are pretty set on a suburban with captains second row. I had a brand new one for a rental one week and that ride was nice.
Out of the three (newborn, almost 2, 3.5 years), who goes in the back? I've been thinking about this.

We have the infiniti QX 60. Middle seat will slide up (seat folds upwards to the seat back) plant if room to get in the back. Also, middle row reclines slightly, and cam be adjusted forward and backwards to share legroom with the 3rd row. 3rd row has more room than our 2011 tahoe had before sliding middle row up.

I've been on the hunt for a similar vehicle and I'll be getting a Dodge Durango. GMC Acadia would be second choice.
edit- third choice would be the Ford Explorer sport mentioned below. However, during the test drive, I preferred the ride of the Durango and Acadia to the Explorer.

We got an explorer because they looked cooler than an Acadia. The Acadia was a better riding vehicle.
The Explorer Sport has an eco boost engine with tons of power but horrible gas mileage.

We did highlander with captains chairs. Works well for us. Wife's parents have an Acadia with captains chairs. I prefer the highlander, but both are great.

This was my situation and I went with a Buick Enclave with captain seats and love that vehicle

BMW X5. Third row accessible by tilting the second row seats forward and keeping car seat strapped in.

The new Acadia has that setup. Coworker has one. Damn nice vehicle.
I prefer the Yukon.
