Car that will fit three car seats but not a seven seater

[mistermagpie]

I'm pregnant with DC3. Other children are 2 and 4 so they all will still require a car seat for a long time. I currently have a Nissan note, which I love, and am stuck with that until next spring. Obviously, my oldest child will have to go in the front occasionally until I get a new car, which I'm not delighted about, but needs must.

Anyway, DH has a seven seater anyway so we don't need another one that big, but we do need a new car for me. Complicating factor is that I didn't drive for over fifteen years after passing my test due to a crippling phobia which I got help with and am now able to drive, but have only driven my own car. DHs car is huge and I'm really not comfortable driving that or anything so big. My note is titchy!

So - what I want is the smallest five seat car that can fit three child seats in the back. (No point recommending an Audi or Range Rover or something because it would be too expensive). Does such a thing exist?!

We needed a 7 seater (which I know you don’t as you’ve already got one) and went for the Grand C4 Picasso; would thoroughly recommend the C4 SpaceTourer (the new name for the Picasso since his family/foundation withdrew the right from Citroen using it!!)

When my sister’s DCs were younger my mum had the Fiat Qubo ad you could get 3 car seats across the back and it had sliding rear doors but I’m not sure if that model is still manufactured now. The Scenic is also good so long as it has 3 isofix points.
