Lot of discussion on that one; probably worth a search.
Some people remove the headrests.
Mine fit okay with the headrest in place. Seemed like it was mostly related to Britax seats? :shrug

The headrest design on the Q7 is pretty stupid (clever, but stupid and overengineered)...but
they are removable, if you need to do so to get your car seat to fit properly.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int62.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int62.shtml</a</li></ul>

Thank you so much for your reply. Does the Radian not fit in the outer seats? Also, do you mind sharing which types of recaro seats you have? I have 3 kids and am looking for a seat for my small 5 year old (barely 40 lbs). I could move him up to the recaro vivo (assuming it fits in the audi) but would like to keep him in a 5-point for another 6 mos to a year and then pass it down to his younger sibling. I am mostly looking at narrow car seats, so that I can fit 3 across if necessary. Thanks again!

The Recaro Young Sport fits well in both the 2nd and 3rd rows. It takes me a couple minutes to move it from one position to another; no headrest removal necessary.
It's also good to 80 pounds / 59 inches. It's not the cheapest around, but it's the only seat you'll need to buy after the rear facing one, and what's +/- $100 on child seats. That's the least of your expenses with kids.

I also have a convertible Recaro in the 2nd row of my S4 Avant. The headrest needs to come off in that car, but it's easy. I haven't tried it in the Q7 yet. We got that one because our first child outgrew the infant carrier (it was only rated for 20#) at about 8 to 10 months. The new ones are good for 30 some pounds.

I also have the Recaro young sports for the twins. They are just turning 4 and still have plenty of room left in them. The seats fit great, very easy to get them in and out of the Q, I like the fact that Audi exposes the "quick" seat latches, it makes it fast and easy. My infiniti is smaller and more of a challenge as they hide the latches in between the upper and lower seat. We have even had the 2 seats in the third row for a while, the kids really liked sitting in the way back with the mid seats folded down. The new Q has luxury rear seat and they are even easier to get the Recaros in and out of. I highly recommend these seats, we had a light accident and the kids never even new we were in an accident until all of the police ambulance etc arrived!
