advice on a car that will take 3 children all in car seats

[insywinsyspider]

I'm expecting dc3, ds1 and ds2 are in maxi cosi stage 2 isofix seat (v chunky and designed to last them till they are 4) they will be 3.1yrs and 18mo when dc3 is born, I need a car that can take the maxi cosi seats and a rear facing baby seat - so 3 seperate seats in the back, with 3 point belts and isofix
any advice would be great

Ford S-Max

(that's an assumption, but had a friend with 4 ranging from 4 through 11, and that's what they got)

citroen c4 has 3 isofix points in back

I know this as DH said we could consider another DC when there was a car with 3 isofix in back. He He.

see specification page

VW Touran

Citroen Berlingo

From my own research I am pretty sure there are very few cars with 3 isofix points in back.

S-Max does fit three car seats, we tried it with same car seat as you (maxi cosi) and two rear facing, but am pretty sure would also take 2 of the bigger ones. Besides which you get a third row anyway!

Not Isofix, but Mondeo

We've got a Toyota Corolla Verso (2004) which has 2 isofix points in the back (not 3 sadly) but we get dd (4) in her high backed booster and the DTs in their stage 2 car seats in there no problems.

And we managed a huge double buggy and DD1's bike in the boot the other day without too much bother.

DOH Citroen C4 Picasso
Sorry

We have a VW Touareg which also has 3 isofix but one of them is in the front.

Egg you are absolutely right, when we bought the VW as I was expecting the DTs the chap told us it was the only car on the market at that time with 3 isofix.

We were looking for something that was normalish size and 5 seater with boot space. Lots seemed to be 7 seaters with no boot unless you put a row of seats down and we didn't need the extra seats.
