Tesla Model Y - Car Seats
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2021
- When getting a Tesla Model Y or Model 3, there are a lot of car seats that you may want to consider. Specifically, what is the difference between the most popular car seats and the narrowest seats on the market?
We have been using our Chicco Nextfit and Myfit car seats in our Model Y for quite a while now. These seats work great and are comfortable for our kids.
When we ordered our 7 passenger Model Y, we wanted to get new car seats that would accommodate more people more comfortably than the existing car seats we had. We purchased the Diono Radian 3QXT, which provides the legendary Diono narrow footprint with the top of the line security and safety features.
Although most car seats will work, the difference is that these Diono car seats will allow for 3 passengers in the 3rd row of the Model 3 and Model Y, regardless of configuration.

Just ordered my MY 7 passenger yesterday and found you today! My first video because I have two toddlers. I have until April to figure this out but thank you for making it easy! Well now I need to buy those seats!! Now I’m off to see if you did a video about the white seats and kids 😅
Car seats are such a big expensive consideration
I have the 3 Diono car seats, now I just need the Model Y lol. Great video as always.
Haha, hope the wait is over soon!
We have our two Dionos in the 3rd row and our 9 and 7 year olds love it. Our 3 year old rides in the middle and having the two empty seats is perfect.
Works great
Dylan, how did you secure your 3rd row seats? I assume your 7&9 up’s are just in boosters or high back boosters?
My 5.5yo has maxed out of the harness height so I’m seat shopping. Thanks!
Love the video! Definitely give us some thought on the type of car seat for our daughter in our model y!
Cheers
Thank you for doing this. I really appreciate it. You should show what it looks like with two kids in back and three adults in the second row and how much space there is in the rear for cargo. Man I wish these cars weren't so expensive, I'd totally pull the trigger but they just keep going up...
Instagram, have the pic of all 7 seats filled
Oh I don’t do social media. My loss I guess. Lol
Thank you so much for this video 🙏
🤘😎🤘 7 seater Model Y.
Most welcome!
Great video, this is an important consideration for many families. Perhaps one day Tesla or one of their suppliers will develop integrated child seats for the 3rd row, I believe Chrysler had this feature on minivans years ago. Your boys are very cute by the way, but I expect they're a handful, especially when they plot together!
Oh their a handful alright! So Volvo has a booster integrated but regulations for car seat safety change quite a bit over time so I would imagine that’s why manufacturers shy away from the car seat space
Thanks for this. I’m hoping to get my wife a model y at some point. We will need three seats, so it’s good to know all of this can work.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Important content. My kids are passed this age but very valuable content for families. 🙌🏿
Really?
Yea, the joys of car seats lol
Wish this video was out when we upgraded car seats a month ago. Never heard of the diono before but it seems nice and fits well
@@BeardedTeslaGuy so true 😁
Great video. Waiting on delivery of our Model 3 7-seater and honestly was not thinking about the carseat space. Glad I stumbled on this video.
Cheers
The Clek Foonf is also a narrow seat, but also the forward facing depth with no recline is also 3.5" shorter than the Diono. (12.5" vs 16"). The Foonf is considerably more costly though, but we have had two kids in them now. I can also say they both fit nicely if one is forward facing and the other rear facing. Now we have one in a Clek Oobr high back booster and the other still rear facing. (ages 7 and 2.5) Nice review on the Diono. I'll make sure to link to this video in the future if the question comes up. They have been long praised in the mommy groups for years as an great 3 across seat. I had considered them for my first, but liked the anti-rebound bar the Clek has.
The Diono has the anti rebound bar as well. Obviously being forward facing you don’t use it but yea, pretty thrilled with the diono
@@BeardedTeslaGuy That's awesome! I didn't know they had them too! Save the old ones for the Target trade-in event (you get a coupon for 20% off baby gear like car seats and strollers and they recycle your seat) but if you don't need it, offer up the seats for free so someone else can use it for the trade in, and you don't have to worry about disposal. You seem like the kind of guy that already knows that though :)
Great video again!
Have you tried them as rear-facing car seats?? I have young ones I’d love to know how the 3rd row handles them
3rd row will not work rear facing
Thanks BTG. Appreciate all your inputs. We are waiting on our MY 7 seater. What floor mats and cargo mats you are using on this née MY? Planning get that ordered and have it ready by the time we get our MY.
3D MAXpider floor mats. Not 3rd row or cargo liners yet. They are almost done though
Would you consider posting a video with your kids in the carseats in the back row? That would be super helpful.
Will be doing soon I am sure on a road trip!
VERY NICE!
Cheers
I bought a booster (Solana 2 from 1:25 in the video) for our 3rd row, but the 3rd row doesn’t have the latch, and the seat doesn’t have a strap for back anchor. So I have the booster in the 2nd row, rear facing baby seat in 2nd row, and toddler car seat in 3rd row, and when grandparents are in, I just store the booster in the back and have the kid move to the 3rd row. But if a hassle, but it works.
The 3rd row does have the anchor in the back. No latch points, so you must use seat belt to secure, but there are anchor points behind the seat
Really wish our 2020 Y had 3 rows. If tesla ever had an option to upgrade to the 3 row config, I would do it!
You'd have to order a new one.
Hey man! Great informative videos as always, thanks! I’ve seen most of them and there is a lot of information. Wanted to ask if you think you can do like a wrap up video of everything you’ve learned about the model Y and the tips you would give to a new owner. Not going into depth on everything just like bullet points so it doesn’t turn into a crazy long video. Might be a good video idea for all the new people getting or thinking of getting a model Y (which you know is a lot of people hahaha)
Yea, that’s a good idea. I will add that to the list for sure. Couple Friday videos coming up, so that’ll be the 3rd most likely
Thanks for the video! Did you have a problem with the headrest preventing the Diono from sitting flush against the backseat? In our Pilot, we had to remove the headrest for the Diono to rest fully against the seat. I don’t think the headrests can be removed in the Tesla MY
I don’t have an issue
Great video! Can you put your Diono in rear facing in the 3rd row and not interfere with the 2nd row recline?
I don’t think so. There are not latches back there to secure it that way anyways
This is great. What are those car seat pad type things you put down between the seat and the actual car seat?
Car seat protector. There should be a link in the description for ya
That mounted screen in the back seems really dangerous if there’s an accident. Will it stay secure?
can you show the dionos in the middle row next to each other? you say there will be more space but would be good to actually see it.
Yea I’ll do it soon
Just ordered my Model Y have a 3yr old and a new baby on the way, have been shopping around for a backseat cover can’t seem to find one that I like I did notice on your video you have the ones I’m interested could you let me know where you bought it and how you like them?
Thanks love your videos
Have them for all our cars. Link in the description for your convenience
Any chance you could show the two seats to one side in the second row configuration?
We have 2 kids and really want to be able to fit an adult in a window seat. Cant find a UA-cam video of that and someone sitting there.
Thanks!
Yea, we actually did that a few times. We used to do that when we had an extra person with us if we didn’t want to use the 3rd row. It’s tight but more comfortable to lean into the door next to car seat honestly.
I have two kids so I am very aware of “how much fun” they are to put in the car. I also picked up on your sarcasm. 😂
Would love to see a video with everyone in the car. I’m getting a 7 seater Y hopefully soon. We tested one at local SC with my in laws and it was a tight squeeze cause the space has to come from somewhere. It worked but not sure we could do a really long road trip that way. Beats driving my moms mini van though.
Exactly!!
The mini van would have alot more leg room than the Model Y.
How are you able to see through your rear view mirror with those Dionos in the far back third row? I have the same Diono seats, when I test drove the MYLR it impacted my view in the back which I personally consider very unsafe. I was able to get all three in the second row and realized i didnt need the 7 seat seats so changed to the MYP.
Not much of a view through that small window anyways
I was thinking the same. That window is tiny as it is and now you block it further. This is silly. Do NOT follow this guys advice.
The third row looks like it works for people with no legs! It would be helpful if kids were sitting back there to see how much space is actually back there.
It only works for small children in my opinion
Thanks a lot for the video! do you recommend using a car seat protector?
I use them and always have
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thanks!
What car seat covers did you buy for under the car seats? They look pretty thick and seem like they provide good protection
They are great. Been using them on all our vehicles. Link in the description for your convenience
We have a MY 3 row on order right now. I have twin one year olds and a 6 year old. I wish you would have shown the two car seats next to each other in the middle row to see how much room there was on either window seat.
Yea, there i enough room for your 6 year old in that seat on the end either side.
How is the MY working for your situation?
@@amerkhan4672 it's been working good. We actually never use the 3rd row now. The oldest sits in the middle with a compact booster and the twins are on the left and right. Works out really well now.
If you were to put a rear-facing seat in the 2nd row, does the bench move back enough to recline the driver and passenger seats? I only have one kid right now, so we're just trying to get a sense of how far the 2nd row can move back in the MY 7 seater.
Yea you can recline a bit. You won’t be able to recline all the way
Hi. Can you update us on your massager on your Model Y. Mine quit working, and jacks up my profile/sitting position. Thanks!
Mine worked fine all the way until I sold it, about 30k miles worth
I swear I saw a video of yours with a suction cup mounted roof mirror for kids in carseats. Can you link the one your'e using? My kid is 8 months old - they're still rear facing. Thanks.
It’s an iPad mount. The mirrors were just headrest mounted ones
Would you be able to fold down one or both sides of the middle row? Could be fun for the kids to have the extra leg room when trunk space isn't needed. Or if only one side is folded down, gives access for an adult to reach back there from the middle row too.
Yep you sure can
This is my question as well. We have the Pacifica right now and I have two forward facing and one rear-facing with one of the middle captain seats in the floor. We love this configuration, but hate the price to drive it. Lol. It’s very roomy and has an entertainment center for the kids for long trips. Would the model Y be comparable?
This video is super helpful! However, in the interest of full disclosure, we're just curious (and want to reconfirm) whether this video is part of a paid content sponsorship with Diono -- or just Fantom Wallet?
Not paid by diono. Fantom Wallet did sponsor the vid though as listed. Hope that helps!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy We ordered two Diono Radian 3QXT+ car seats and a ton of accessories, so thank you!
Hi BTG! I’m trying to convince my wife to get the white seats for MY 2022 but she’s concerned our 5 and 3 yr old boys are going to ruin them. What has your experience been with the white seats?
So far so good. It cleans so easy
How about ability to easily access seat belt and the buckle for the third passenger in the second row?
It would be a lot easier if you put the 2 seats right next to each other and left one of the outside seats open
How safe do you think the 3rd row is for both children and adults? As someone contemplating MY 7 vs 5 seater, I'm concerned about safety if rear-ended or, in the case of adults back there, what happens to their head next to the glass. Do you have thoughts on this?
I think about it often. Everything in a car is more and less safe. Example, car seat in the middle of the middle row is safest. But with 2 carseats, we have one next to each door, which is less safe. The 3rd row is probably a bit less still, but I know in the Model S back in the day they added reinforcement to the rear of the car when equipped with 3rd row. I don't know that to be the case in the Model Y, but it is possible
How safe would it be to have a 7 year old in the third row? Our Model Y is coming this summer and we're trying to figure out if we should have one of the kiddos in the third row for longer trips, but are worried about how close it is to the trunk.
Always safest in the very center of cars
I really want my next car to be a 7 seater Model Y but it just seems that I'd be sacrificing so much space just to have a Tesla. I used my buddy's Model Y 7 seater and loaded the car up with 7 passengers and it was a struggle getting everyone in/out. I'm currently in a Traverse and that thing's gigantic compared. I understand it's a midsize SUV vs compact SUV. I wish they made an affordable midsize SUV.
Yea it’s a small footprint to fit the 7 seats
@@BeardedTeslaGuy and 7 people
@@BeardedTeslaGuy does the cargo size make up for it in the Y? I get that seating wise it’s not expansive, but if you can store your gear then you’re golden. May require a luggage hitch for those family road trips
@@brandonglucas the storage is great. That I could attest to.
Tesla needs to actually come out with a full size suv that can accommodate 7 people COMFORTABLY.
We have a 2 year old and a 1.5 month old. Both in rear facing car seats. We have Graco extend to fit car seats. You think they would work in a 2 row model y? Honest opinion.
Yes, they will work for now.
Is it possible to access the 3rd row while still having 2 (one rear facing and one forward) child seats in the 2row?
Yes
I'm thinking to get Diono car seat so to give more room for the passengers in my 5 seat MYLR. Do you think it's comfortable for two adults if I put the car seat in the middle?
It'll be tight, but better than 2 car seats with 1 adult.
How are those seat covers? I feel like all of the ones I have tried ended up causing the car seat to slide around too much.
These have worked great for us for many years now. Order a new set each time we get a new car
Wait what happened to that middle seat in the middle row at the end? Did it come out or just fold down?
I fold it down most of the time
What seat covers are you using behind your seats? I am looking for something that won’t dye transfer on my white seats.
I think there’s a link in the description. These ones are nice because they go all the way up the back
Can you access the 3rd row if the diono car seats are installed in the second row?
You can slid the second row forward to some degree.
hi! does your car seat or seat protector leave any imprints on the seat?
Of course. What I’ve found though is that this seat protector softens the imprint, kind of like less sharp edges
It seems like you won’t be able to see much in the rear-view mirror, not that the Mode Y had good visibility from the back window to begin with.
With the head rests all the way up that is true
hi, i read some reviews about the diono seat protector will stain the white car seat. Is that true? do you have that problem?
I have heard the same from a few people. I have not encountered this issue myself but be careful
Not using the seat protectors might save a bit of space too?
Lol, they aren’t that big haha
Does it make it challenging to look out the rear window?
No
Did the same thing here TY
Cheers
Do your seat protectors reduce dimples in leather from child seats
Not really
Can you access 3rd row with the carseats in place?
No, once you have a car seat in second row, it’s not possible to scoot that seat far forward enough
Hi any advice on which Tesla is best for 2 kids in a car seat & a tall 11 year old lol??
Model Y is great, the X if you can afford would give you a bit more room
@@BeardedTeslaGuy hi! Ok thank you!
Question: do those black covers for the car seat stain the white seats? I’m asking because the ones I have seen on Amazon recommend not to use on white seats.
No stains in my experience
I purchased a set from Amazon, the portion that sits up against the seat is actually white. I’ve had them in for 2 months with no issues
@@moeblisss12 which one did you purchase?
@@DSBP1 Lusso Gear Car Seat
@@moeblisss12 thank you.
How old are the kids? How about putting booster? What’s the vertical height? Thx
Kids are 3 and 5. Not yet ready for boosters, but I am thrilled for that day to come!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I have the same age kids. I think it'll work in last row till they are 11. what do you think?
Hello my friend, I Ordered model X 2 months ago for90 K and now it’s 100 K. Do you know how to sell the order for the car which is to be delivered in January
You can’t sell your order, you’d have to take delivery then sell the car
Hi all, do you think a Tesla Model Y with 3rd row could fit 3 infant car seats? Two in the middle row and one in the back row? I would really appreciate the answer if anyone has attempted to do this or simply put an infant car seat in the 3rd row. Thank you.
No. There are a few reasons. First, the 3rd row does not have latches for the infant seat, so you just use a seatbelt back there. Even if it did, the issue will be space as you won't be able to move the second row forward enough with someone in it to make enough room for a rear facing seat in the 3rd row.
Looks like if you put the DIONO car seats in the 3rd row, it will reduce the visibility even more than what it is to begin with...
That was at maximum height to show this. It blocks that view quite a bit
@@BeardedTeslaGuy so are you still keeping the seats there? How do you get the kids out from third row if they’re sleeping? That must be challenging
very informative but I don't think my 22 and 20 year old sons would fit in those seats though
Haha not likely
They still live with you?
@@TecnamTwin the one is finishing college this fall and the other just moved out this past weekend, huzzah
When you sold your first Y to a whole seller how did you take the sales tax credit when you bought your new Y?
I paid full taxes on the new one. The white one when I bought I had a trade in.
What’s the song at the end?
"Gold Coast" on the creator Music platform on UA-cam Creator
Did you notice the scar seat dents the head rest
Yes. It evens out after a few days of not being in the car
Can you provide a link to the seat protector you are using?
In the description for your convenience
can I put car seat in the third row?
It’s tight. A booster is best back there
Can’t wait until you get enough subscribers to be able to buy a Model X to give you way more room for the family. :)
You and me both!
The leg space in that third row looks bad, Tesla should've just made the Model Y a little longer rather than trying to cram a third row without changing the size of the car.
It’s very very tight back there
Is there ac in the 3rd row?
Unfortunately no
Dang bro… you never showed me the kids in the back and adults in the front :(
There are clips throughout my vids
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I kept fast forwarding to get to it - I must have missed it. I’ll watch it in its entirety this time. Sorry!
I just watched again - perhaps I’m missing something, but from what I saw you never have kids in the car seats and adults in the middle :( I’m worried about leg room / crushing our 7 & 5 year olds feet while in their car seats in the 3rd row.
I think Diono 3RDX are thinner
The external dimensions are the same actually. But the other seat is less bulky
Can this seat be taken on an airplane ?
Yes it is approved
REALLY should’ve shown the kids in the backseat to get a real world test/review.
How tall are you?
5’6”
My biggest issue is my daughter bumps her head when we put her in the second row in her car seat.
Yea, it’s tight back there
How old are your kids?
3 and 5
You cannot get 3 across I’ve tried the dionos and it sadly will not work
I've seen it done several times.
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
The third row is not rated for car seats
It has a seat back latch, it is rated for certain car seats.
If your kids have no legs
It’s tight back there
Im mostly concerned about the air conditioning for the kids!
It’s not great in 3rd row
