Car suitable for 3 car seats in the back?

I'm looking for a bigger car now we have another on the way.
I don't want anything huge and expensive but I need to be able to fit 3 car seats across the back.
I also need boot space for a pram.

Any suggestions please?

Do you need all three isofix?

We’ve just had this. We had a Hyundai Tucson before but there wasn’t enough space across the back for 3, so we ended up buying a Discovery Sport with 7 seats. It’s much easier, even with a boot seat up there’s still plenty of room for the pushchair and it stops them arguing about who is touching who!

Theres a facebook group called car seat safety UK and they have a list of all models that will fit three full car seats across the back, including older models that can be picked up second hand. Worth having a look.

Citroen berlingo/pergeot partner

We have the Peugeot 5008. Very happy with it.

Ford S Max or Galaxy. Three full width seats across the back.

Ford Galaxy or Citroen C4 Picasso.

What about this https://www.multimac.com/home

No personal experience, but I read Vogue Williams has one!

Please don't buy this, it's incredibly unsafe.

Another vote for Peugeot 5008. 7 seats, so we have 3 kids in the middle row and dog goes in the back. Plenty of space in the boot if you don't have a big dog like we do though!

Very happy with my citreon C4 7 seater - has three full seats in the back & 2 more in the boot.

I think there are only about 8 car models in the UK that have 3 full sized seats which is what you need. I'll see if I can find a link to them

Love our Peugeot 5008

HollyFern1110 · 14/06/2024 22:34

Ford C-Max would do the job. 3 full sized individual seats each with a full seat belt.

xyzandabc · 14/06/2024 22:35

We had a Toyota verso, then a VW Touran. Both fit 3 seats in the middle row.

EddieVedderSingsToMe · 14/06/2024 22:36

I just sold a Citroen Berlingo which I had for 8 years. It has 3 full seats in the back with 3 isofix points and a massive boot. The Peugeot Partner is the same car with a different badge. I’d recommend one of those. Pretty cheap too, if price is a consideration.

cfdaaeffssfg · 14/06/2024 22:37

We have a seat Alhambra. The VW sharan is the same car with a different badge. They have full sized seats in the back and all the rear seats have isofix. You will easily get three car seats in. The boot is huge with the back row of seats down. And the sliding doors are the best thing ever.

Ford S Max or Galaxy fit 3 seats in the back with 3 isofix points. Lovely to drive and park.

When having the same debate I took my 3 car seats with me to the garage and could NOT get the 3 car seats I had in the back of the C max or Grand C Max, or Kuga.

Toyota Prius has (had) 3 separate rear seats, including the Prius plus, although they no longer make this.

I previously had a C4 grand picasso(new name Grand tourer) which had 3 separate rear seats. I also had a C5 aircross with 3 separate rear seats
