Help please!
Just found out I'm pregnant with baby number 3. I currently have a 6 year old and my second that will be 4 by the time the baby is born but I'm struggling with the car situation.

Would you change for a 7 seater or stick to a 5 seater in the hope that all car seats will fit, as 6 year old will be in a booster seat by this point?

Also any suggestions of cars would be fab!

Thank you🥰

Unless your car has 3 full sized seats in the back, it is most likely you won’t fit 3 car seats in there (or 2 and a booster).
