3 kids or more - what car do you drive?

[mummyofgirls]

Need direction - want something stylish, but not extortionate (?sp)

a zafira

an oldish espace

friends have a galaxy, s-max, zafira, toyoto one that i can never remeber properly poss frv, a mondeo (!), scenic/megane scenic

Ford focus, suits us with 3 kids and a dog.

Citroen c4, coupe.

We used to have a Xsara Picasso when they were all in carseats. It was very good. Big boot too and full seat belts in the back.

Elderly Laguna estate. Deeply ugly but very reliable and quite roomy. Not too bad on fuel consumption. However I suspect we will need something bigger soon as our DC's are growing fast and already have outrageously long legs.

A rover 618 which is wide enough to get three proper car seats in the back.

One with a constantly dirty interior !

I try to stop then eating putting feet on seats etc but to no avail !!

mondeo estate (with no ! MOM - tis a fab car )

We have a Renault Grand Scenic but only use 5 of the seats. The boot space is big (has 2 more seats in there) but it isn't the best looking car.

Vauxhall Zafira. The back 2 seats of the 7 are only really suitable for kids, not much space. Apart from that, its fine.

We have a galaxy and I hate it, its like a bus, I would like a volvo xc90 or in the real world renaut espace

zafira dc are 4,22m 10m

sciento 1ltr v.small car perfectly adequate for getting from a 2 b , low on petrol costs and neer broken down.

however when i buy a new car am going for pegreot 107

Only have two kids but we've got a Mitsubishi Grandis (it replaced the old Spacewagon) and I love love love it. 7 seater, solid, reliable, very smart for an MPV, not too juicy. Shall I go on?

Megane Scenic

volvo xc90; we have 4 children. Really like it, but considering an Espace next time - possibly more leg room in the 3rd row. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong on that issue btw ?

ford s-max (about to have one!)

Sharan VW 7 seater

Ford S-Max

Ford Focus - 3 door (well I don't drive - but DH does) - 3 children, 7, 4 and 5 months

Can you really get 3 car seats in the back of a rover 618?

I have a rover 600 at the moment, and baby is due in 3 weeks. Not sure if i will get 3 car seats in the back or not..... must try before baby arrives!

We have a high back booster, a high back booster with integrated 5pt harness and then a newborn seat. I thought I would have to put baby in the front and get DH to squish between the girls in the back!

Will report back!

Fiat Multipla...and we love it
