Anyone who has 4+ children, what car do you have??

[sparklygothkat]

We currently have a Zafira, which is fine with 3 children. But with baby due in november I am worried. DS has a wheelchair which takes space, plus a buggy, and its not all going to fit with the 6th seat up. So what car do people recommence??

Hasn't anybody got a Freda? Why is it always Bongo Bongo Bongo?

SGK i have just had a new mobility car the citreon C4 grand picaso 7 seater, very very nice, no boot spce with 7 seats thou,lots of room with 5/6 seats i have the 2.0 diesel
is supposed to be good on fuel but i have only done 200 miles so far. extra payment of 1600 for my one thou if you want petrol i think it was 800 .

they are the same thing arent they wendy

The tourneo isn't on motability.

you could get one of those old ticket machines they used to have on buses.

and a little driver's cap

the grand picaso isn't on the motability price list

Wendy, they are exactly the same!, have you got a Freda then? We've had ours for 3 years now and have been to 3 Bongo Bashes (yearly meetings where over 200 Bongos meet (with their drivers obviously lol).

I haven't got a Bongo or a Freda

I would love one! I just think it's funny that so many people here have (or want) a Bongo and nobody has a Freda

right off now to wheelchair clinic, hope they don't give DS a huge wheelchair this time!!! Am hoping for a small sports one...

Good luck with the wheelchair then!

grand picaso is a new car only came out in January so might not show on the list but if you go to the dealers you can get one, i know someone else who also has one on mobility scheme.

Wendy, when we first got our Bongo, no-one had ever heard of it and burst out laughing, and to see another one on the road was a surprise! Do you know that most Bongo/Freda owners wave to each other, so we're a friendly bunch!, you don't see Ford Focus/min/other makes of car owners greeting each other like that

multipla owners do that too

freaked me out the first few times

Do they Enid? I'll look out for them now!, do you think we should wave to them too, just to confuse them?

When we went away last year we put two weeks worth of kit in the box on the roof, freeing up the interior of C8 for day to day rubbish.

Thing about chrysler is that 'which magazine' doesn't rate it very highly....... Having said that I know dh would have loved to get it if the tax penalties on them weren't so high (company car).

Other advantage on C8 is that the back doors are sliding so don't have many problems about hoiking little ones in car seats in and out iyswim

We had a volvo estate with 2 seta in the boot (5 children). It was very rare all 7 of us would travel together as large families with childern of different ages do tend to do separate things so that worked out fine. But you need the boot space too for the wheelchair

we have children of separate ages and do a lot together

We have a volvo xc90; fine for our 4 but probabbly not big enough for pram and wheelchair. On our last holiday we hired A C8 which was very roomy, 7 proper seats and sliding doors which were useful.

my kids are 9, 7 and 5, and the baby in nov. SO we still do lots together

Ours was just such a very big gap. By the time the twins were 3 or 4 their biggest sister had passed her driving test.

our gap is actually bigger than that xenia

by a few years but we still do days out etc
