Hi,

I'll keep it brief - 3 DC's all under 4, want to keep them safe (obviously) Don't want a people carrier.

Currently have 4x4 which I love but only has 2 isofix points.

Any suggestions??

Thankyou!

We had a 4 year old, a 22 month old and a newborn. The car we bought was a grand scenic. We were able to get 3 different seats along the middle and then have 2 more seats in the boots. We don't use them often but it does mean the boot is big enough for everything you need for 3 kids.
I had a graco autobaby, a stage two with harness and a high backed booster. We now have 3 high backed boosters along the back.

We had a Skoda Octavia until our 4th was born, now have a VW Touran. Both lovely cars.

We've got a volvo xc90, very safe 4x4, comfortable, and bags of room (7 seats, 3 isofix points) Really recommend it.

I have a Renault Grand Scenic. Seats 7 and I suppose you would call it a small people carrier. Feels more like a car but high up. Not sure about how many isofix points as I don't use them but I think there are several.

I have 3 Dc and resisted a people carrier for 5 years. DH had an audi estate with a bench seat in the boot which meant we could seat 7 people. Now the DC are bigger 10,8 and 5 they are a bit too big for this.
Last week we got a Vauxhall Zafira, and I love it!

Citroen Picasso. Cheap, cheerful and seats 3 no problemo.

Or is that a people carrier?

XC90 here, 3 isofix points plus a built in booster for when ferrying extras, fab, fab, fab car for large family that likes to travel. Love it. Heavy though so slow when leaving traffic lights. However, its weight is part of its attraction for me - when you get in, you feel like you're in a cocoon from London's traffic/filth, your own steady, serene environment (dreamy moment - ahh). Kids behave much better in it than our last car where they were crammed across the back seat. I've hit ice on it and it's righted itself. Feels very safe. 4 DCs here.

Ford Focus c max fits 3 carseats and is well priced and comfy.
