    3 car seats in the back of a MK7.5 (2018) GTI...how

    I don't disagree with your points, but she TRULY doesn't fit in it anymore. So the powers at be mandate that she goes rear facing and has ZERO legroom

    I wish I could do that because I agree. The problem is the baby is too big for the chicco and too small to be forward facing, the next ~8 months will be a pain it looks like.

    Revisiting this now that the baby outgrew the Chicco keyfit 30, but still needs to be rear facing* Tried the Diono Radian 3RX installed in the middle rear seat, and its way too wobbly after tightening everything. Next we moved it to one of the sides (where the width becomes a slight concern...

    Tried that but it somehow fits worse. At least when its in teh middle the 3 seats "nest", the problem is the horns/arms of the (former) boosters block access to the seat belt plugs.

    Got a set of narrower boosters that actually might work as per test fit. I'll report back in a few weeks... To quote my wife "Why is somebody who says that on an enthusiast's forum?!" (She's pregnant and angry)

    3 car seats in the back of a MK7.5 (2018) GTI...how

    No, I'm not buying a minivan. We're trying to figure out our options for my 3 children in the back of my wife's GTI (7/5/infant). The 7 and 5 year old are now both in boosters, but with the width needed for the baby's larger drop-in seat "cradle" its really hard to actually buckle in the...

    Suspension refresh - looking for reccos

    '08 MKV GTI with 90K, the struts are tired. Springs seem fine. This is my wife's DD (no track) but she's a "spirited" driver. I was thinking shocks for the 4 corners and the soft bits (bushings, etc). Not looking to build a racecar or spend a ton, just wake it up a bit...
