I have 2 +1 on the way and am wondering if I can get three across the back seat... Kid details:

5 year old in a booster
4 year old in a 5-point seat
infant in a seat base/infant seat

I prefer real world experience and pics, if available.

If this isn't an option, I'm trading the JKUR in for something larger (F150 SuperCrew or Expedition).

Thanks.

I have a car seat, booster seat and an 11 year old daughter. It's vary tight back there. I am going on a limb, but don't think three seats will fit unless you shop for some very narroow ones. The car seat hangs over as does the booster a bit. My son can never get buckled in his booster if my daughter gets hers done first and doesnt move her butt over a bit

 

I have a 3rd row bench seat in the back. I carry 7 passengers easily. Look up 3rd row bench seat on line there are multiple products.

 

Third row will never work with three kids. That gives you zero space and wouldn't even be able to hold a diaper bag. Unless you have each kids hold theirs in their lap! Or you build a custom trailer like I did to haul all the crap!

Also heard of people putting seat brackets in and using the rear seat from a 2dr JK (probably cheaper than the link)

 

Thanks for the replies... Third row is NOT an option for me. Access and safety are my concerns.

I'm strictly looking for three across the factory rear seat.

Can you post a pic of this seat. Very interested.

 

Thanks for the info. This is kind of where I'm leaning at this point...

 

You've started me on a research kick. I love my Jeep, have always loved Jeep, and will always be in a Jeep. I like this option:

I don't have pics, but it does work. My kids are 10, 7, and 5. They were 7, 4 and 2 when I bought my JKU. We had one rear facing five point Britax, one forward facing five point Britax, and a booster. I won't lie, it's a bit of a pain in the ass to get the seat belt buckled but it can be done. I'm not sure I'd want to have to do it on a daily basis to shuffle kids to school and the like. In some ways having two forward facing five point Britax seats and a booster was worse but, again, it is doable if need be. Thankfully I'm at a point now where my youngest is big enough to use a booster.
