Can you fit 3 car seats in the back of a Proton X50?
The Proton X50 enters an already crowded market segment, and it needs its safety rating and standard safety equipment to allow it to stand out from its competitors. We take a look at that rating and the factors to see just how many car seats you can get in the rear.

Even though the Proton X50 has seating space for 5, it only has ISOfix anchor points for two seats in the rear with those points being on the outer seats.
