Will an estate car fit 4 people and 3 large suitcases and a pushchair?

It very much depends on the exact car. Do you have a model?

Mine does.

Oh I don’t - it’s so I know which taxi to book for the airport as I don’t want it to turn up and be unsuitable!

If you tell the taxi company how many people and what luggage there is, won’t they be able to tell you whether they have a suitable vehicle? My local company does.

You would think… they have gone all automated and have that god annoying voice recognition thing or an app. It’s impossible to speak to an actual human!

Just ask the taxi firm's advice.

@Bikergran see above…

I think if it’s a taxi firm offering an estate then hopefully it won’t be an especially small one. I’d book it, and see if there’s a comments box so you can mention the luggage.

Is it the official airport taxi company? Most airports have a certain company who has exclusivity at the airport so should be set up to transport groups of people and luggage.

Or could you book one of those transfer companies instead that uses minibuses as well as cars? Eg:
