3 car seats in a c4 picasso?

I'm looking at new (well used) cars and need one that fits 3 car seats. I prefer the c4 picasso to the c4 grand picasso as we would prefer a petrol car and I understand that the grand tends to be diesel, but will a group 0, group 1 and a high back booster fit comfortably in the picasso or will I need a grand picasso (the 7 seater)? Recommendations please 😀

the grand picasso as there will be more room and it wont feel so squashed

I have a Citroen C4 spacetourer (5 seater). The rear 3 seats are all full-size and have isofix. I have fit in various combinations of car seats, including the ones you list without any difficulty. Similarly can fit 2 car seats and an adult sit comfortably in the rear.

Watch out for under floor storage compartments as they restrict which car seats you can use in the back.

I had heard about the problem with the underfloor compartments. I will need to look at arranging carseats so I only have one with a 'leg' which can go in the middle.

This is very helpful thanks everyone

You can get fillers for the storage compartments I believe.

I had a C3 Picasso and there are some seats that can fit with the storage. I had a Joie i-Anchor where the leg went to the bottom of the storage. I have a Renault Scenic now as I wanted 3 full separate seats across the back. It was between that, the C4 Picasso and some sort of Ford, c-max or s-max maybe. I liked the Scenic best of them.
