Hey everyone

I'm thinking of buying Leon Cupra ST but will it fit 3 child seats in the rear?

I would say no, but your luck might vary based on the seats (and the age of your children).
Best you can realistically manage is two at the back and one at the front on the passenger side.

You will need to wedge your wife between the two childseats at the back.

PS. I have three myself (1, 6 and 8 year old)

If buying new, you might also want to check with the dealer if they offer integrated child seats (not sure what they are officially called). They sort of pop up from the seat and raise the sitting position so it is safe for older kids.

No idea if this is available for the cupra.

Not a chance with group 0 or group 1 car seats, the side bolsters mean that the middle space cannot fit the third seat. It was a squeeze just to get the armrest down between the two forward facing group 1s!

There's a bit more space now that the eldest has moved onto the graco group 2 which eventually becomes a booster.

Apologies for the rubbish phone picture, two group 1 seats.

As above, couldn’t fit 3 x booster seats across the back of my Octavia, and the rear bench seat on the Leon ST is narrower still.

Ford SMax and Skoda Kodiaq are some of the very few cars on the market that will take 3 child seats.
