Cars with 3 'proper' seat belts in the back? Or how else do you manage with 3 children and 2 adults if you cant afford an MPV?!

[pesha]

My 3rd baby is due in april by which time my dcs will be 6.5 and 3.8. I cannot fit 3 car seats in the back of my car, i cant afford a people carrier. Under the new law if you cant fit 3 car seats in you can have 1 child without a car seat which im ok with as dd will be 6 and a half and it wont be all journeys just those with dp aswell. But im not happy with her just having a lap belt as i've heard horrid things about the injuries these can cause to a child in an accident.

So...does anyone know of a car that has 3 full seat belts in the back that i could feasibly buy for £1000-1500 thats not too big or expensive to insure and tax, pref 1.4? (I have a nissan sunny at the mo, this with an extra belt would be ideal!) Or is it only new fancy cars that cost 10 grand that have them?

Or does anyone have any other suggestions??

TIA

Ahhh picasso here too

I have a '96 vectra which has 3 proper belts in the back. I think it may have a new interior though. The middle one isn't long enough to fit round a rear facing seat though.

I have a Renault Scenic...fits my three and me and dh nicely

Toyota corolla verso here. Has flat 3 seats in the rear with space for 3 car seats and an additional 2 pop up seat in the boot (but no boot space really if they're up).

Citroen Berlingo, they're fabulous! it is technically an MPV but soooo cheap.

I saw them in France came home and bought one off ebay sight unseen. Love it but it is a bit hilarious!

I call it my Bingo Bus! there's a Fiat Diablo, Peugot Partner and Renault Kangoo all along the same lines.

HTH and good luck!
