I have twins and their car seats both fit in there with no problems. Had my next door neighbors 2 yr old in as well a couple of times with no problems.

Ouch, not sure about that. I'm sure you can find something if you work at it. Going to be a real squeeze. Lap belt only might be a problem unless you can utilize the latch. I'm not sure if you are supposed to though. All I know is you can say goodbye to legroom! I had to front face my 1 year old asap in order to fit everyone in the car, and move her behind me. Now I've got the monstrous Britax behind the passenger for my 3 year old. The liberty is so small, less room than a good portion of the cars out there, let alone SUV's. |

Infant car seats should be no problem. When they get older and you have to put three non-infant car seats or even boosters, it will be a struggle, but you can do it. When my daughter, niece and nephew ride with me, you basically can get the first two in, side by side, but a lot of slacking of the belt and pushing up to reveal the seatbelt clip for the next seat occurs. By the time you're to the third seat, there WILL be four letter words involved, so cover the kids' ears. But you can get them on. |

The KJ has more usable pass. space than an XJ. I put two boosters seats and a 9 yr old in the back seat.... |

Ironically, I have twin girls. We had them in November and I got the KJ in December. Infant car seats will fit ine...just takes a second or two to put the front seats all the way forward then puttting the seats in....then you put the front seats back..... As far as a third seat.....that would be a really tight fit. |

I've got two carseats in the back for the lil ladies and my lil cousin sits in the middle when we go camping. He deals with it fine,dont see why a booster wouldn't work in the middle. Definately will be some work if you have the kids by yourself. |

I've personally used two standard car seats on the outsides and an infant carrier in the middle, but if I recall, the center is not certified for use with either. It's a small risk but the risk nonetheless. You might check the owner's manual. There's a section in there for child seats. Dan |

I hate to say it fella, You might need an mini van. We had to trade in one of our KJ's 2 years ago just to fit our 1 son and all the crap that we need to bring places. The KJ has no room let alone 3 car seats. |
