3 car seats in the back - Citroen Xsara Picasso?

I have a 3.5 yr old and 4 month old twins. I'm about to buy a car (my first!) and wanted to check I'm not about to make a huge mistake.

I've got my eye on a Citroen Xsara Picasso - partly based on what I've heard on here regarding its potential to fit three car seats in the back. But will I definitely be able to fit the following:

2x group 0 seats and 1x group 1
3x group 1 seats (in approx 8 months)
2x group 1 seats and 1x group 2 (in approx 1 year)

Will all these configurations work or should I be looking at a diffetent car?

Yep it works, I have 18months between my singleton and the twins and a Citroën Xsara Picasso

To start with we had two capsules (graco) and a maxi cosi, then 3 maxi cosi's and now the 4.5 yr old is in a big seat.

Thanks, I'm really glad it works - was getting panicky about making an expensive mistake!

We bought a Vauxhall Zafira in a hurry when the twins were born but you can't get 3 across the back in any sort of car seats so my eldest has to go in the boot seat which only leaves half a boot. We're about to swap it for a Xsara!
