3 car seats in a zafira?

We’ve just found out we’re expecting our 3rd and I’m already worrying about car seats! We have a zafira, will have a 5yr old in a high backed booster and a 3yr old when baby comes. Any suggestions?

It's a struggle! We have an 8yo, 3yo, 2yo and a new baby. My original plan was to put baby in the front but you can't turn off the airbag! So what we do is: 3yo in front in forward facing, baby and 2yo on second row in isofix outside seats and the 8yo goes in the middle on a slim booster. When my husband is with us the 3yo goes in the boot.
The middle seat on the 2nd row isn't a full sized seat so we found it impossible to fit 3 car seats on there.

If I was you I would have the 5yo in the middle on a slim booster or in the front with a decent car seat and the baby and 3yo on the outside seats on the 2nd row. I spent months and months agonising over what to do as we couldn't afford a new car! The middle seat is the safest seat in the car and I figured in am accident, the child in the middle will ne protected by the seats on either side.

@LumpySpaceCow
Thanks! Think that’s what I’m going to have to do, hate the thought of my 5yr old being in the very back seats!
