This does help. My wife literally asked me “do u think u can fit three car seats in the back” —- (we only have two kids ?)
there are seats that fit 3 wide. Clek i think is one of those companies.

I have two kids and concerned about this topic as well. We have a Lexus GX470 that measures very similar on paper as the rear leg room listed for the new Bronco. I'm 5'11" with both kids in forward facing car seats. It works for me and my 4 year old son behind me but I'm not as far back as I'd like and he cant exactly stretch out his legs. So is it doable, for sure. The question for families would be am I willing to pay $xx,xxx for doable. We are passed the rear facing car seat phase and have a 2015 Ford Edge Sport that is the travel vehicle so it works for our situation and the trade off of leg room is worth it for the top off experience.

Just flipped my 2 year old to front facing this morning; I'm 6'4" and the wife is 5'11" so we'll be getting minimalist car seats (Cosco APT50, we use these for travel because they're only 11 lbs) for the Bronco since it'll only have the kids in it for trips. We'll use my wife's CX-9 for everyday and that has the crazy big/heavy car seats in it and enough leg room.
We flipped my son to front facing a few months ago, made a huge difference. Got #2 on the way so leg room in the back is a bit of a concern to me but its got more than my focus did so we will make it work.

Luckily me and the wife are shorter than you and yours haha

I'm 5'10" and shes 5'2"

I just checked the legroom on my Escape (36.8). I'm tall so I sit farther back, but my kids have no complaints.
right now i have a ford fusion and zero complaints with leg room with my two children--- looks like the bronco rear leg room will be smaller than the fusion though?

I'm grateful my kids are both in front-facing seats now, the hassle of rear-facing seats was ridiculous, especially since I'm 6'5".

I'm wondering how much rear legroom they had to give up in the four door to ensure that all of the doors would stow in the back.
I am also thinking about the same, but by the time I get my hands on the Bronco my younger one would be front facing :D and I'm only 6'2" I guess I would be fine.

Yeah, from what I've seen, the measurement is less.

My fusion shows 37.1. Mines a 2010 though. rear facing car seats were a tight fit but my kids are now in booster seats.

For people with kids who are in booster seats, not full blown child carriers, the MIFOLD is an amazing option to save space.

They are designed for kids 4 and up, 40-100 pounds, and 40-57” tall. We have three for our kids and they are a game changer, an absolute must have for space saving.
