120's Prado with 3 kids

Re: 120's Prado with 3 kids

3 kids, 8,6 and 4. No problems except the centre child seat always sits on top of the seatbelt buckle for the outer seat, which makes it a pain getting the seatbelt on.

Another little problem is there are no cupholders when all three seats are in place. My old Kluger had 4 cupholders in the doors and was a much better arrangement.

If they fight, we just chuck the middle aged child in the back row. Easy.

Rear airconditioning is brilliant. Best thing ever invented.

Legweak.

Re: 120's Prado with 3 kids

We recently had some time down south and noticed the prado is narrower than the cruiser, (prado is cheaper to run than the 1HZ) after we had hours of complaining and fighting. But after looking at a 200 series and hearing they are still having issues i might have to start wearing ear plugs or just wear the expense of the 1HZ

Re: 120's Prado with 3 kids

Only one child here, but have borrowed others
So 2x 2yo and a 4yo all in car seats/booster seats, and they all fit in, so PP with the twins on the way, keep the prado

Sorry for the OT

I've 3 billy lids myself. 16, 13 & 11. 2 boys 1 girl. They travel well in the second row. Took them to Fraser in January and all travelled well without DVD etc.

They love the Prado as our other bus is an Echo! If we're buzzing around town we all five pack in the Echo.

There is not much simpathy from the pilot and co-pilot as I had 5 siblings and the wife 3. No third row seats in our day, people movers were a station wagon or the ute!

Third row is mostly reserved for the addition of cousins, friends or the displacment caused by grandparents.
