Any 6+footers with Kids?

Hi all:
Is there anyone here who is a 6+ footer with 2 kids in car seats?
We Canucks do not have access to the X1 yet, but based on everything I've read, it looks like it'll be my next AWD vehicle when it goes on sale here in Canada sometime next spring --- providing it will hold 2 toddler seats in the rear (rear and forward facing).
We currently have a 2010 Subaru Forester - which I really like, but I promised my sister she could have it sometime next year (because her 9 year old Rav4 is falling apart).
My main concern is interior room for me, my wife and the 2 gandkids.
I'm 6' 5" (196 cms) and fit fine in my Forester with my grandson behind me in a front facing toddler car seat and there's sufficient room behind my wife for a rear facing car seat.
The GLK350 and Audi Q5 also have sufficient room, but I prefer the handling and performance of the BMW to other brands ( I currently have the 1-series Cabrio & had a Z4 prior to that), so I'm going for either the X1 or the X3.
My preference is for the X1 as the X3 has grown in proportions.
Any feedback will be welcomed.
TIA.
