Hello. I need some help...any suggestions as to a suitable car for twins aged 2-3 and a newborn baby? Also, seats?? We currently have twin daughters aged 8 months & planning one more (hopefully!)but have huge issues with what 3 seats will fit in a car. Our ford estate fits 2 baby seats in the back beautifully but I can't fit into the middle seat, and a baby seat wouldn't fit in either....any suggestions or answers?
Thank you.

We have a merc A-class and can fit 2 baby sits and a boaster seat (it is a nightmare)...

maybe buy a bigger car

We bought an estate when our DTs were born (when DD1 was 20 mths) only to realise that although it fitted 2 baby seats and DD1's stage 2 seat (just) there was no way we could fit in 3 stage 2 seats! So almost exactly a year later, we ended up getting a Renault Grand Scenic - we got the Grand one, to get the bigger boot, not necessarily for the extra seats in the back, although it does come in handy when MIL comes to stay. You can now get one with the big boot, but without the extra seats I think.

We used to have isofix seats on either side, then a bigger stage 2 seat in the middle, which worked fine. Now we have 1 isofix in one window seat, the bigger seat in the middle and DD1's booster seat either by the other window or in the front passenger seat (you can switch the airbag off).

I'm really pleased with it - doesn't feel too much like a bus, but is very roomy for all the clutter that inevitably accumulates . At one point I had two double buggies and a single in the boot. Now I have 2 single buggies and 3 scooters .
