If anyone can help here, we'd be grateful. Trying to find a new car; ideally we want a 7-seater. It'll mostly be used as 5-seater, with two Isofix car seats, but want capacity to take third child in 1-4 seat, not necessarily Isofix, and also need to be able to take 2 extra adults occasionally (DH's elderly parents - his dad would have to go in the front seat due to mobility, but we'd still need to be getting two adults into the third row...).
The problem is that all the cars that seem to be advertised as "Family MPVs with extra child safety such as Isofix points" are totally unsuitable for car seats with support legs - which are most Isofix seats, and certainly the Maxi-Cosi ones we have (Cabriofix and Priorifix).
We like VWs (had two Golfs, a Golf Plus and a Golf Estate for the past 3+ years - there's a theme here) - Touran would be perfect but for the underfloor storage/support leg problem. Don't know much about other makes so ideas welcome.
It'll be a company lease car so we're looking at new cars and will keep for 3-4 years. Not bothered about depreciation or maintenance, as not our problem
, but initial capital cost of the car is reflected in our cost per month so we'd rather not too expensive, and also fuel consumption is fairly important. We've currently got a diesel and happy with that. With a toddler and a baby, boot space is also important as a 5-seater (less so as a 7-seater).
Please, any ideas or experience? Need to choose new car before end of Feb, and the new baby is due within 5 weeks - we've been researching for months and keep drawing blanks.
