Hi all, so we have finally purchased a wagon and I'm now trying to figure out how best to place our two rear facing child seats. One is a Joie stages, the other is an Axkid Move. Unfortunately both require a 3 point harness to attach, and we have just realised that the middle seat in the middle bench only has a lap belt. As a result we will either have to fit them on the two outsides and lose the function of the middle seat entirely, or place one on the middle bench passenger seat and the other behind it on the rear bench. Annoyingly I cannot find any information on whether the very rear seats are compatible with child seats. Does anyone have any advice on how they did it? Thanks in advance!

*edit* We have now also discovered that the webbing on the buckle of the seat belts is too long to close the clip on the Axkid Move 🙈. Maybe I need to find a business that can shorten it? Alternative suggestions? Help!

We managed to get the Axkid fitted in the end, Fishwife remembered that the front feet of the seat can actually hang over the front of the car's seat, and doing so gave us just enough room to do up the clip on the seatbelt.

In the end we opted for one seat in each row as this allows us to climb into the back easily and still have space to carry adults about.
