Model Y with PERO Installation Example
The rear seat of the Tesla Model Y is about 130cm (51.2in) wide. After installing a PERO child seat with ISOFIX, there’s still a bit of space left between the seat and the car door. If you’re planning to install three child seats or need to have a passenger in the middle, the width of each child seat will be under 45cm (17.7in), and recommend using the vehicle’s seat belt for installation or considering the PERO WIDFIX ISOFIX extender. Keep in mind that the Model Y uses a Seat Gap-Style Lower Anchors, so the initial installation may take a little extra time.
