looking for a 7 seater was thinking of a zafira really not sure about this as i have been told the seating arrangements are crap.

expecting ds 3 in aug my other ds's will be 4 and 1. therefore all will need car seats.

what other 7 seaters are there? that are reasonably cheap and not the size of a bus!!!

Are the seating arrangements crap? We have a zafira, basic model, ex motorbility, cheap as chips. Had it full on numerous occasions. I suppose the only annoying thing is that with an infant carrier that uses a seat belt rather than an isofix base you can't get the seats far enough forward to fold/unfold the back seats without taking it out. But if you had an isofix one that wouldn't be a problem.

i was told that climbing through the boot is the only way to get to the very back seats, and that fitting 3 car seats in the middle row would be difficult.

We have a Ford S-Max. They are fab!

ford galaxys are amazing. Definately the best around

The S-Max is more car like than any of the other PMs we tried... and I drove them all! I was 7 months pregnant and my husband had a broken shoulder from a motorbike accident when we finally decided my Mini was not a 'family car' (we have 3 dds now)! Did not try the Galaxy, however, I think Ford have got the market well and truly sorted for these vehicles
