Default Can 2 car seats and my 11 daughter, fit in the rear seats of a Ep3?

We have a Em2 Civic that we have up for sale, and we need something that fits 2 car seats and my 70 lb daughter in the back, somewhat comfortably. The Em2 fits both car seats and my daughter, but she is extremely cramped. I have sat in a Ep3 about 3 years ago and remember it having more interior space. Can everyone chip in. I really want a Ep3. Lmk thanx.

There's plenty of room back there, but child seats take up a ton of space. I'd say they would fit, but still be a bit cramped.

I just picked up an EP3 on Friday. DO IT.

yeah you can fit 3 kids in the back easily. i have my 18-23 year old friends in the back sometimes...i dont hear complaints.

when i first got the car someone told me it was a lot roomier than they were expecting.

now having a 2 door car and having kids is a whole nother conversation...i personally would get a 4 door civic...make things a lot easier.

Sounds like instead of the mini minivan EP3 you just need a mini van....

People call it a van, but you sound like you need more space.

Obviously it depends how big the car seats are. You should look into something like an Accord V6 or a TSX if you have the budget.

Coming from an EP3, there is a lot of space in the back but baby seats take a lot of room and the person stuck in the middle will feel really cramped!

Might want to look at something a little bigger maybe a CRV or accord

Yeah sounds like you need something bigger I.e. a van sounds more like it for you, My son fits perfectly in the rear but than again he is 5 years old and only uses the booster seat and its just him but when his aunts come along for a ride 12 and 17 they are more than comfortable.

We ended up with a white 2008 Si 4 door. I am still looking to get a Ep3 for a DD.
