Hi I have a zafira and to be honest to get 7 in is a nightmare especially with a baby. Any advice on a better type or model please

Thanks

Renault Grand Scenic.
Use all 7 seats every day!!

We've just bought a Peugeot 5008 seven seats with still a small boot to use.

Cheers guys. Anyone had a smax ??

I’ve got an smax. I think with 7 I’d consider a bigger car. I think the smax is great with 6 (and I love that it fits 3 car seats across the middle) but ideally you’d be able to keep one seat down in the middle to access the back row.

We had an s max as a courtesy car once and i loved it. Seems smaller and easier to park but still plenty big enough inside.
Went to the seaside with mil fil and my 4 dc plus beach stuff and a buggy it was plenty big enough.
The only thing that would put me off is that you have to fold the seat over to get to the back so you can’t have too many fixed car seats or it d be a right pain.

Hired an S Max on holiday, four adults, three teenagers and all of our luggage for the week, so yes I’d definitely recommend!

Forgot to say we have a Chrysler voyager now - great on motorways , the ‘aisle’ down the middle is brilliant for getting in and strapping the kids in and the sliding doors are good when you park.
Manoeuvreing and parking round busy London suburban streets isn’t fun though..
We are hoping to get a vw touran next

Thanks all, I'll take a look and test drive some of the ideas. Thanks again

Anyone had a Kia?

We have a Kia Carens. The seats in the boot are very small - fine for kids but very cramped for adults, and when you have them up there is a tiny bit of boot space. It's great for us with 3 kids, but I think if you needed all 7 all the time it wouldn't be ideal. I think they have another bigger 7-seater though

Thank me for the advice

Galaxy. Absolutely loved it and totally saved my family in a horrible crash last year.
