2 radians on the side and grace car seat base in the middle. I currently have it with both radians in the 3rd row and the car seat base behind the driver seat. Wife sits in second row. Hope it Helps

The 3rd row in the GL is the reason people buy it over the ML... so you don't have to put 3 car seats all in the 2nd row.

I've got three car seats (mdx) in a row in the second row and that's more practical getting the kids in an out versus getting one or two from the third row.

I also have three radians in a row in the back of my e63S... Works out great

Radians are the way to go

Wow. I need the model number and name of these radians

I have 2 recaro pro sports and one recaro pro rides. Three are a bit wider.


Yeah right now the wife drives a Yukon denali 2006 and that easily fits the three. We are trying to figure out if a gl well be able to accommodate how we have the set up now.

Other option is to go with a oddesey. Brother has one and it's quite impressive

Just traded in an odyssey touring Elite and I can tell you it has much more space than the GL and is more practical, but it feels like a tin can compared to the GL. We have three kids, but I got so bored of driving the van. Traded the odyssey for a Genesis and I love it. The GL fits the three kids fine. I have two car seats in the third row, but the compromise is losing a lot of cargo area.

yeah thats the dilemma

i love the space in the yukon, granted its not used all the time but with strollers and costco visits or when in laws come its great, plus its a bang around vehicle...i dont care how much mess the kids make in it or if the bumpers get dinged....but its getting old, just dropped 800 on a water pump..things are starting to fail ....

brother went from a ford flex whihc he liked to the oddesey when kid number 4 showed up..his wife likes it, my wife does too...they are cheap so im thinking about it...eeewww

Looks like a lot of things will fit with the seat belt. I've only tried 3 Fllos so far...expensive but worth it.

I have the Diono Radian R120 car seats in the second row of our GL and i can fit in between the 2 seats comfortable if I need to be and i am 5'10 185.

And those seats are meaty - fuil metal frame - my 5 year old calls it his "racing seat" - they are awesome and have a great rating.
