Hi

We have a Nissan quasquai and a Peugeot. We found out we are expecting recently. This will mean next year we shall have a three year old, one year old and newborn. I'm a bit stuck about what to do as the guy is halfords just said he hadn't heard of anyone stupid enough to have three kids under four - lolGrin

Anyway first question does anyone have a quasquai that they can safely fit three kids and car seats in and what do they use?

If not possible we could trade in our car for the newer xtrail which seems to be our cheapest monthly payment option compared to other 7seaters I got quotes for. Again only two isofix points so one will have to go in the back without an isofix base. Which child/ car seat type would be best in the back?

If anyone has ideas I'd be really grateful

Thanks

DD will be 3 when twins arrive, will she be able to use a booster by then? That would make a big difference!

snuggly My 3 year old is still in a proper car seat atm but have had him on his brothers booster with the back on if I've left his seat in other car and he has been fine on it. He is big for his age though. He will be going onto a high back booster permanently soon though I would say as he is almost too tall for his car seat now. I think they say once they are 40lb or to tall for there normal car seat.

Thank you. DD is tall so it could be a possibility.

how often will all five of you be in the car? it might save a lot to just use both cars for family excursions and then use front seat with airbag off for the baby when out just you and kids

My parents are needing to sell their ford mondeo coz they are moving abroad. Does anyone know if that fits three car seats in the back?

Thanks
