I don't think the xtrail allows a car seat in middle seat. there's actually lots of 7 seaters that don't allow for a car seat in the middle seat so you can't do 3 across the middle row. I only found that out myself when we went looking for a 7seater last year and I was really surprised by it. you can check the car manual and it will show you where car seats are allowed in the car
we went with the C4 Grand picasso in the end. it's not the nicest looking of cars but it's plenty big and we really wanted a 7 seater. there's a Facebook group with great info on fitting 3 seats across, Ireland-rear facing car seats
Most cars sold in Ireland are technically 2.5 seats across. Did not know this until I went looking to buy a 7 seat car a few weeks. There are exceptions now like the 5008 Peugeot. But nearly all 7 seaters only have 2.5 across the middle.
right OK, i dont think My 5 year old would be tall enough where the seat belt wouldn't be catching his neck if ya get me so maybe he wouldn't be ready to go without a seat yet. I must try him over the wknd and see for sure because that would make a huge difference.
I'm currently expecting our 3rd baby and we need to upgrade the car in the new year, we are thinking of a Nissan X trail 2014-2017 7 seater model but would prefer not to have to use the 2 seats in the boot for the extra space... looking at pictures the middle seat looks narrow in the back... has anyone successfully fitted 3 seats in the back amd if so what are the seats? when we buy the car kids will be 6, 2 and a half and a newborn... thanks! Also i know there are better options like an smax, kia carens, Toyota verso etc but I really like the xtrail so hoping I can make it work

Since that time, Nissan has increased its investments in new powertrains and technology for its future European vehicles. Therefore the company has decided to optimise its investments in Europe by consolidating X-Trail production in Kyushu, the production hub for this global model. Other future models planned for Nissan Sunderland Plant - the next-generation Juke and Qashqai - are unaffected.
Nissan Executive Vice President for Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management, Hideyuki Sakamoto, said: "A model like X-Trail is manufactured in multiple locations globally, and can therefore be re-evaluated based on changes to the business environment. As always, Nissan has to make optimal use of its global investments for the benefits of its customers."
Nissan Europe Chairman Gianluca de Ficchy said: "Nissan is investing heavily in new technologies and powertrains for the next generation of vehicles in our Sunderland plant. To support this we are taking advantage of our global assets, and with X-Trail already manufactured in Japan, we can reduce our upfront investment costs.
"We appreciate this will be disappointing for our UK team and partners. Our workforce in Sunderland has our full confidence, and will continue to benefit from the investment planned for Juke and Qashqai.
Production of the next-generation Juke and Qashqai in Sunderland, the biggest car plant in the UK, is supported by major new facilities including a recently-launched new Paint facility and a second new extra-large press.
Current production in Sunderland also includes the Nissan LEAF, Europe's best-selling electric car, which reached a record 46,989 production last year, up 177% from the previous year. The new Nissan LEAF e+ upgrade, including an extended-range 62kwh battery, launches in the coming months.
