    gee the market has been clamoring for a decade while the auto industry said “BIG TRUCKS AND SUV’S!”

      I mean there’s still a good amount of people in my position where you can’t fit 3 car seats in any ev in the market. Haven’t checked in the past year, maybe it’s changed but I also can’t afford to waste 60k+

        Honestly it feels like most companies producing child seats and strollers and whatnot (as well as the stores that stock and sell them) have stopped putting any focus on solutions for 2 or more children and instead only produce solutions for only children. I’ve got 2 young kids 2 years apart and we had a heck of a time finding a double stroller among other things

          I did, I tried to fit my seats in one actually. Before making a snarky comment, you should do your research and know that not all car seats conform to a size. Some are bigger than others and the front seats cannot touch the car seat in a rear facing configuration. I’m tall enough there was no way I could drive the car.

            what sized seats do you have that it doesn’t fit into a fucking Ioniq5?

            maybe you will need the Kia EV9 then, because that is a ridiculously sized thing.

              They also can’t touch side to side. I think you must just not know a lot about the safety requirements of car seats. All EVs were typically very narrow too.

                I have a Hyundai i40 CW, IT’S A huge car, by eruopean standards anyway.

                the Ioniq l5 is wider by 7.5 cms and has a longer wheelbase by 23 cms

                if you can’t fit inside that thing then you simply have oversized shit, the fuck do you drive now?
