Recipe of the week

Avs1's pasta with creamy green sauce: fox veg-hating toddlers (or teens) and cunningly whizz a nice wodge of peas and leeks in this super-quick cheese sauce. Pour over penne and bask in a good-parent glow.

Those of you with three children - which car do yo drive/recommend?

(32 Posts)
That's it really - number three due in June and we need a new car - could do with recommendations!
Does anybody have the Honda FRV by any chance?
We have just bought a Xsara Picasso ready for having three. It has a big boot and loads of space inside generally.

Currently I have all 3 in car seats in the back of my Mondeo. However, we are getting a new car and so far are set on a Galaxy. Not cool but practical! Planning to get a black one with chrome roof rails etc so it has half a chance of looking 'cool'

Why I care I don't know - I hardly look cool hoiking 3 kids in and out of teh car anyway!

We bought a Xsara Picasso as well with three babies to strap in - not too much bending down into the car either.

It takes three car seats no trouble and has a good sized boot as well. It was a great car - I loved it.

We recently changed it because the children are now older and we're past the car seat stage and wanted something sheaper to insure, but the Picasso ticked all the right boxes when they were very tiny.

Can I hijack a little?

Glad to see that people rate the Picasso - we are looking at getting one so we can fit 3 children in the back..but we may need to seat a fourth child on occasion - is there an airbag switch in the front?
i have a nissan tino. its good i'll be sad to see it go
we have a vectra and i have 3 dd's. we only use 1 car seat though hth
ps i love it great for room for shopping/pram and football bag
