The Nissan X-Trail features a high-ground-clearance design with spacious rear seats, making it a popular choice for families. With a vehicle width of over 180 cm (70.9 in), the rear row can generally accommodate 2 to 3 car seats or booster cushions.
Similar to other Nissan models, Kicks and Sentra, the X-Trail uses Seat Gap-Style lower anchors for ISOFIX anchors. They are located between the seat cushions or partially hidden, possibly requiring more time and effort for the 1st installation.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps and key considerations for installing PERO car seats or booster cushions in the Nissan X-Trail.

The Nissan Xtrail’s back seats come with isofix lower anchors. In this vehicle, the ISOFIX style uses the Seat Gap-Style, meaning you can access the lower anchors by reaching into the gap between the seat cushions.

Nissan Xtrail with PERO Installation Example
When installing car seats in the Nissan X-Trail, the main challenge is similar to what you may encounter in the Sentra and Kicks models. The ISOFIX anchor points are hidden between the seat cushions, and the seat foam is relatively firm, which can make ISOFIX installation more difficult—especially for first-time users. We recommend using ISOFIX Guider to assist with easier installation.
When paired with the WIDFIX ISOFIX extenders, you can usually achieve the maximum extension. Thanks to the rear seat design and spacious layout, installing multiple car seats in the X-Trail is relatively straightforward.
