Is there a car that fits 3 isofix in the back?

If so what and would you recommend?

I need to fit DH, myself and 3DC still in car seats into our new car, so 5 seats with 3 isofix bases in the back.
Also need a huge huge boot (so 7 seaters with seats in the boot are out as they don’t leave enough boot space)

Has anyone got any recommendations please as I’m so sick of looking?!

The middle seat of a Q7 is a normal sized seat and the two in the back are also isofix which is handy. Not the electric one though.

FIL has a Vauxhall zafira. Can fit 2 isofix seats on the 2 outside seats and a seatbelt fasten child's seat in the middle. Massive boot space when the 2 back seats are down and they lay completely flat.

We have the Q7 now, after the disastrous s max!
lovely car but the middle seat does have the transmission bar running through the leg space. So now kids argue as the don’t want to sit there!

Peugeot 5008. All the others recommended here are ugly mini van type contraptions 😬 the Peugeot actually manages to be a 7 seater while also looking nice/more jeep like

Depends if you care what a car looks like though! We DGAF and never notice anyone else's cars either.

I don't know why they stopped making the Chrysler Voyager as that would have been ideal.

They haven’t. They just don’t sell it in the UK any more.

A Ford Galaxy meets all of your requirements in terms of 3 isofix seats and space. The two full sized seats in the third row fold flat to the floor and then the boot is huge. Great as the kids get older for ferrying extra kids around doing play dates and sharing lifts to activities etc. They are nice to drive too.

Ford s max. We have seat 6/7 down most of the time which creates a massive boot. We are on our 2nd s max now. Love it

We have three under five and a huge double buggy. Citroen Berlingo. It grows on you and you stop feeling like Postman Pat quite soon!

There's a thing called a multimac which basically attaches three car seats across the back of a normal size car. It sort of sits on top of your normal seat - it's quite expensive but cheaper than a new car.

These are not safe beyond infancy as they don't allow for rear facing in the higher weight range.

After going round in circles trying all sorts of cars, we decided on an s max because they just have so much space for 3x car seats in the middle back. Huge boot when back back seats are down, plus the flexibility of the extra 2 seats.
