Found out we have a surprise. Will have two kids in forward facing, and a new baby in rear facing.

Are you taking about the second row only or including all three rows (which should not be a problem except for cargo space ....esp with a new born)
Congratulations dude.

I currently have 2 car seats in the 2nd row, forward facing on the passenger side, rear facing in the middle and wife sits back with the kids behind the driver side. I think we could add another forward facing behind driver. But the problem is, I wouldnt be able to remove the infant carrier or get the baby in and out. I'm not sure there's a enough room to do forward facing in the passenger and middle and rear facing in the driver side, it would need to alternate to allow the most room. But if you find a smaller car seat it might fit, I have the Britax Advocate car seat and the sides are pretty wide.

If you need to put 3 car seats, i think a van may be a better option

Or the 2017 model where you have captain seats and remove the center piece between the captain seats which would be similar to a van.

I thnk we'll do a rear facing on the passenger side. We'll start off with the smallest carrier we can find, then there are a good # of options of small convertibles.

btw, found this good info:

3 Across Installations: Which Car Seats Fit in an Acura MDX?


Doesn't look like we'll have any issues. Going van is not an option.


We currently have both kids in Britax Frontiers (says I can fit 3 of these wide). I've got a Clek Fllo here in house that I ordered to see if I can fit this one in the back of the 911. I know I can easily fit 3 of the Fllo's in any car

Is it easy to remove the center console? There may be some wires that you need to hide after removing it. Don't forget that you're removing the rear vent too in this case. It can be complicated.

I assumed it was like the toyota highlander where it was just a center console and didnt have any wiring or vent. If that's the case, it may not be worth it. I havent seen a 2017 in person but having a vent for the third row is nice compared to 2014-2016.

actually you're right, there's no vent. i mistake it with the front console. it should be just storage.
