Arrow GLE car seat count

Tell me if this is right or incorrect.

GLE with 7 seats: comfortably fits 2 car seats, max could fit 5 car seats but uncomfortably (you'd need to take them in and out), and so for 3 kids (3, 2 and a baby) it'd be doable, but uncomfortable.

GLE with 5 seats: comfortably fits 2 car seats, max could fit 3 car seats but it'll be inconvenient, and so for 3 kids it's doable but not easy.

Is that right?

I pick D, depends on the car seat width.

Good point. Assume each seat is 18.5 inches wide.

I went to a dealer and tried out the GLE with 5 seats.

Here's what I found:The GLE with 5 seats can fit 3 car seats in the 2nd row, but you won't be able to reach the one in the middle. So, the kid would need to be able to put themselves into it.The GLE with 7 seats should be able to fit 2 in the back if critical, though it's very inconvenient. You could also have 1 in the back row, and have the other seat down, and then a kid could go into that seat via the trunk.

The poll seemed difficult to interpret, but I think he answered his own question in post number 4.
