Hi all, ordered my iv60 13th November 21, got three children 8,7 and 3 was wondering if three children car/booster seats will fit at the back of the Enyaq. We are practically a family of 5.

Well, that depends on how wide your car seats are... ;)
There are only two sets of isofix in the back, one set on the passenger in the front.
If you're using boosters without isofix, then my estimate is that it's fine.
But if you've got three car seats with backs and head protectors and stuff, then probably not.
Do you need a measurement?

The rear seat is just over 130cm wide, so should be fine for 3x standard booster seats. However, the bucket shape means that when two are placed left and right comfortably in their buckets, there's not much room for a third in the middle. And the middle seat belt connectors are quite close.

Hi DazAutomatic, Much appreciated for the reply and images. I've got two boosters like yours but for my 3 year old it's a no. If anything will figure something out or start looking for slimmer car seat or booster.

It's a great sized family car. The kids will love the amount of legroom in the back, and you'll love the size of the boot, with the option for roofbox or trailer if you're desperate. As far as EVs go, it's the best option we found, and at the less unaffordable end of EVs. The only downside is that it's so quiet, you'll still be able to hear them arguing in the back.

Question: I’ve never had a car with front passenger isofix before. Does this mean I can legally (U.K.) put the 4-year-old’s car seat in the front? He would love that!

You're advised to carry all people under the age of 12 in the rear, but you can legally have a child of 3 or more in the front if they secured in a proper child seat if you want to.
If the seat is rear facing you must disable the passenger airbag, if it's front facing you must move the seat back as far as it'll go to maximise the distance to the airbag.

I am trying to figure out if I can fit a high back booster seat in the back of the Enyaq. As we are having a third child.

Can someone advise what is the distance between the two buckle or latches in the rear middle seat?

we currently have a 2017 Hyundai Tucson and it’s 25.5cm from buckle to buckle on the rear seat which is too small.
