    Letting my manual wagon go!

    Time has come for my beloved wagon and I to part ways. I have spent a whole lot of money and even more labor of love and sweat to make her the best car I have owned, but sadly I can't fit three car seats in the back so it is not practical for us any more.

    Not a bad price at all for what it is, what comes with it, and whats been done to it. Sorry you have to let it go due to three car seats. I am at two car seats myself, and that fear of a third one surprising us is in the back of my mind because I know as well as you that three seats likely won't fit.

    Good Luck!

    You can't find slimmer seats? Or maybe one of the kids will be in a booster soon so that will alleviate some space?

    Or push comes to shove, give up a child to the system?

    Just my 2 cents.

    Ok maybe letting a child go should'nt be an option....yet.

    But are you willing to part with the BBS?

    I have no idea what those BBS are worth. As I just posted the car, I am hoping someone will take her as a whole.

    Ever considered putting one car seat in the front and two in the back?

    That's why I don't ever want more than 1-2 kids... I don't want an SUV or a minivan.

    Kids are young enough that I can't put have them in the front. Also, that is my wife's throne!
    Do e60 wagons have a wider rear seat? I gotta find a local e60 and try it out

    Check out diono seats. I have two and it helps to squeeze three car seats in the rear.
    Goodluck with the sale!

    So it ended up being a very quick sale. Some fellow enthusiast drove 3 hours last night to come pick her up.
    I will miss her but at least she seems to have found a good home
