Has anyone installed 3 car seats in the rear seat? Any pics?
Also, can anyone share pics of how to properly use the upper tether? I read the owner manual online, but am not clear on how the car seat hook tether will connect to the truck's tether strap.
I am looking into purchasing a 2015 F-150 SuperCrew XLT. I know 3 car seats will fit across, but I am concerned with 2 infant seats that require LATCH.
My wife's MDX fits all 3 seats, so that is the daily driver for the kids, and sufficient for most road trips. One of the reasons that I am looking at a new truck is to be able to fit all 3 kids if needed. I suppose they won't be in infant seats forever.
(3 year old and a set of 6-month old twins, in case you were wondering)
I believe each seat has the latches between the lower and upper parts of the seat
I think the outside seats have lower LATCH, but the middle seat doesn't. Which is fine for me, as I can buckle that car seat in and secure it with the top tether. I started a separate thread and asked about the seat depth, which is 18". The bases of the infant carriers we have aren't much longer than that, so meets the 80% requirement where Cars.com failed infant carriers.
If/when I find a truck that meets my needs, I'll post pics of the car seat install for those that may benefit.
I have 2 car seats, 1 on each outer seat, and I've used a 3rd in the middle.
The outer one's have the bars inside the seat base for the car seat clasps.
The center section does not. So you will need to use the seat belt for the center.
Be careful though, and cover the center seats buckle button or you run the risk
of kids accidentally releasing it when they try to undo theirs on the outer passenger side.
My son did this when my other son was an infant and he didn't know it, and I stopped
and my infants carseat lurched forward without restraint and freaked me out.

Middle seat: Britax Boulevard convertible; attached with seatbelt and upper tether, which is looped through strap directly behind the middle seat and connected to strap on outside seat
Outer seats: Chicco Keyfits; currently using car seat bases which are attached with LATCH system
