    What exactly are you asking? :confused:

    3 set of seatbelt latches, or so they can fold down..? Like as if 3 adults can fit in the back or if 2 adults can fit, would help if you wanted to know if car seats would fit, 2 adults, 3 car seats wouldn't probably fit.

    I guess that would depend on the make. We have a 2006 Acura MDX and a 2009 Honda CRV, they only offer 2 sets of latch hooks. I am not even sure 3 car seats would fit across even my semi truck wide MDX. The 3rd row does not have any latch hooks.

    FWIW my mom's Land Cruiser had three belts in the back row. If that's what you're looking for.

    He's not asking about seatbelts, he's asking about LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LATCH

    Oh...

    According to Car-Seat.org and Cars.com the Jeep Commander has what you need, plus several cars as well.

    "which vehicles have 3 LATCH positions??" http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=24071

    FWIW - most car seats have provisions to mount as LATCH, non-LATCH or both. As both my children are now in boosters, I recall that LATCH was really a secondary restraint and primarily used when the child is forward facing and under 40 lbs. That would mean the child is usually between the ages of 1 - 4. I am not being facetious, you may well have either a) triplets or b) 3 children in the same age range, but it's not that common, hence why you won't find many cars with 3 LATCH positions.
