RF car seat with DVD in 2011
I just picked up my 2011 GL450 yesterday, the one we test drove and fit in our car seat and booster seats did not have the DVD players. Here is our problem, we have 4 children, 1 yr old is in rear facing car seat, 5 yr old is in a booster, 3 yr old isn't quite ready for a booster and my 9 yr old doesn't need one. The rear facing seat cannot go behind the driver or passenger seat because it hits the DVD player, and I need to have the 2nd row passenger seat accessible to get to the 3rd row. What rear facing car seat can fit in the middle of the 2nd row and what seat can fit next to it on the drivers side 2nd row.
I had no idea that the rear facing car seat would not fit with the DVD player!!

We have Peg Perego 5-70 and we put it rear facing in the middle of the second row. Unfortunately it doesnt allow for us fold the seats to access the 3rd row seat because of the width. So, you can eliminate Peg Perego for your needs.

I have a CLS550 and can fit a rear facing car seat in there. How could a rear facing seat not fit in a large SUV (even if it has a rear entertainment screen)?

I was also a bit disappointed that this large SUV didnt allow this. But then again, this is a non issue for us, so no problem.
p.s. we dont have a rear seat entertainment.
