Hello! Looking for some tips and advice.

We are expecting #3 in August. So when s/he arrives, we will have a 4.5 year old, a 3 year old, and a newborn.

Any recommendations on a good 7 seater that will fit the 4.5 year old in a third row OR a SUV sized car that will fit three iso-fix car seats in the same row?

Currently, we have two Cybex Pallas for the boys and the newborn seat we have is the Cybex CloudQ - but can change those seats if needed. :)

[quote lovelsa]@firsttimedad79 I love love the older Discovery body! I was looking online yesterday actually, but what I read suffered that it only had two isofix points in the middle row. Could you confirm if that was true as far as you know?[/quote]
No idea offhand :( I work away so can't look til Friday :(

We have a 12 year old discovery and I absolutely love it. It has been the best car we’ve ever had (when we first had 3 we had a grand picasso and although it was very practical I hated it!) in that we can get all 5 of us in / bikes / camping stuff etc etc. And last week, when a bit of the door trim came off, I just superglued it on without another thought!

But no, ours doesn’t have isofix in the middle seat.

You can get it fitted retrospectively though if you want. We never bothered because our eldest was 6 when we got it so we just put him in a high back booster ( in the back row or the front seat if there was just one of us taking them out rather than the middle) and cracked on.

@PotteringAlong Thanks for that! I'll have a look at them and see what I can find. Really helpful! :)

The ford smax is a great car, this in the one we have and it ticks all the boxes, Or a ford galaxy. Try and stay away from french cars as the give bother with electrics, Peugeot or Citroen and the older ones are horrendous to drive and not very nice to look at either, the newer ones are nice to drive though.
