Can you fit 3 car seats in a 2021+ GLE63?

Hey all, as the title implies I’m looking for some information on if 3 car seats will fit or not. I have twins on the way and my first baby will only be 13 months when they get here so they will all still be in pretty large seats. My wife just got a Tahoe that we can use for long drives and such, but I’m still hoping I can fit all 3 relatively comfortably, like I won’t have to use my hip to force the door shut comfortable lol. Thanks in advance for any help.

Diono Radian is known for 3 across. I ran two in my GLC so someone could still sit in the middle and buckle their seatbelt.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. I just looked those up and see they’re not as wide so those look like they would work. I have a GLC63 now but my daughter will only be 13 months when my twins get here so I’ll be running 3 seats for a while lol.

Are you planning on getting a GLE coupe or SUV? The Coupe has just about the same interior room as the GLC (maybe an inch more leg room in the rear). The SUV has about 4 more inches of leg room than the GLC fyi.

There is more trunk space however in the GLE is why I changed from a GLC43 Coupe to a GLE53 Coupe. If they made the 63 coupe another year I would have ordered that instead of a GLE though.

I have the SUV style right now and will be looking to stick with the SUV style. I’ll definitely need all the room I can get, the bigger trunk will be most helpful I feel.

My wife has the 2020 GLE350 and you can use 3 across the back if you use the right seat. We use these that are narrow and cup holders can fold out of the way.

Graco slim fit car seat good for 5 lbs to 100 lbs or until the snacks saturate the seat.... LOL
