The Toyota Fortuner I tested was the Crusade model, it's a big seven-seat off-roader and I found only have top tether anchorages in the second-row seats so you couldn't install child seats in the third-row.

The outer two top tether anchorages are right down the bottom of the seat backs almost underneath the seats so they are hard to access and to connect. The central top tether anchorage is in the ceiling centrally above the third-row passengers' heads, which could be unpleasant for the third-row passengers having both a top tether strap and central seatbelt coming from the ceiling in front of their faces.

I couldn't fit three forward-facing child seats across the second-row. The Fortuner slopes in toward the top of the car and so it is too narrow to get three child seats with padded head protection across the width. However, I did find a combination of two forward-facing and a rear-facing child seat fitted. Also, in order to access the third-row seats, I found you need to remove two child seats.

The third-row seats fold up to the sides of the boot and give a nice big space for fitting prams, shopping and dogs! From empty and only using five-seats, the boot would hold seventeen shopping bags, which is the same as the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and five less than the Nissan Patrol, one less than the Ford Everest and the same as the Haval H9.

All sizes of pram and stroller fitted when using five seats AND when using all seven seats which is really good and I could get some shopping bags in there too.

Storage inside the cabin is good too, the Fortuner can boast four front cup holders! With two that pop out of either end of the dash and two in the central console in the front as well. The second-row has two in the central seat fold-down​ armrest and there are storage wells on either side in the third-row too.

There are also air vents in the ceiling for both the rear rows which is a great BabyDrive feature.
