Hunter gatherer
One of the latest entrants into the crossover SUV market in South Africa is the Jaecoo 7. The J7 is a stylish and well-equipped family SUV that not only combines premium interior fitment and technology but offers a powerful 1.6l turbocharged petrol engine mated to a DCT transmission.

The Jaecoo J7 retains a 5-star ANCAP rating and is sold with Chery's 5-year/150 000 km warranty and 10-year/1-million km engine warranty; the latter is only valid for the cars' first owners. One of the reasons that the Jaecoo received such a score is due to the many passive safety systems incorporated into the vehicle but does it have ISOfix?
Key considerations for fitting 3 car seats
Car seat size: The size and width of your car seats will significantly impact whether three can fit comfortably across the rear seat.
The ages of your children: Depending on how old your kids are, you might have a combination of booster seats and infant car seats, which can affect space requirements.
Anchor point
The Jaecoo 7 is equipped with ISOfix anchors on the two outer rear seats, allowing the driver to fit two ISOfix-equipped car seats. There are no anchor points for the middle of the rear seat; therefore, it is not recommended to fit a third car seat in this area.
