Hi,

did any one have any luck with a car seat in the 3rd row? Any pictures would be appreciated

 

I was under the impression that the third row is a car seat. 😊

 

No doubt, they mean an infant or child safety seat.

 

Ours has the 3rd row but we keep it folded at all times and still haven't used it. I ordered an EQS 580 SUV without the 3rd row but ended up buying one that someone passed on so now I have a 3rd row I may never use. I did fold it to have a look. You could haul two adults in a pinch but it's really for small children. I don't have any personal pics to share but there are a number YouTube videos that show it.

 

It would probably also help the OP if you could look at the two outboard positions in the 3rd row and see if there are any sturdy metal loops down at the bottom of the seatback where it meets the cushion, near the seat belt receptacles. These would be the ISOFIX anchors for attaching an infant or child safety seat.

 

I have one with the 3rd row. I have also sat in it I'm 6'2 my head hits the roof but my leg room is fine with the 2nd row pretty much all the way up. However I have 2 kids and 2 car seats currently, might have a 3rd kid coming in the near future, just wanted to see if anyone had any experience actually using the 3rd row with a car seat.

The 3rd row does not have any ISOFIX or an anchor behind the seats.

 

I would be curious as to how much time it would take to extract a child in a car seat in the third row after a wreck. Also, one sees on the news children left in hot cars in the Summer in a second row seat. They might be even more vulnerable to be forgotten in the third row.

 

Fair question. I can access the 3rd row as quickly as I could in our previous X7 or two GLS 550's. The leg room is just tight for adults.

 

I checked the inventory, only roughly 1 out of 10 EQS has the the option with a third row... wow

 

there is no latch at the 3rd row. kid booster maybe but not for toddler car seat

 

wow even the GLB, GLS and EQB are designed for car seat on the 3rd row and EQS not?
