Cars that fit 3 child seats across rear seats

[nannynick]

Given that this question comes up quite often, thought I'd help start off this new Cars topic by asking the question:

What cars will fit 3 child seats across the rear seats?

Ford S-Max - very happy with mine.

Could posters also state which car seats they use in their car

We have a Citroen Picasso with 2 Maxi Cosi Rodi high backed boosters either side and a Graco Junior Baby (on its base) in the centre. Horrible ugly car really (dh hates it), but really comfy and spacious and has a walkthrough back seat, (no hump in the middle) so the older dc's can both always get out on the pavement side.

We can also fit 2 Graco high backed boosters and the same Graco Junior Baby (without base) across the back of my Mum's new Astra. They wouldn't go in at all with the base on the baby seat though, so was really surprised that without it they fitted with no buckle crunch and without any of them touching each other. There's not a lot of room to get your hand in to clip and unclip the seatbelt buckles, but once done I am happy they are all safely fitted and I am generally a bit paranoid about car seat safety.

Landrover Freelander. 2 x maxi prori and 1 x graco booster

Kia Sedona, 3 x Britax Eclipse or similar

a vw golf and 3 group 1 car seats! i have a britax two way elite(rf), a maxi cosi priori and a KISS(rf). i can easily change the priori to a rodi sps if i need to.

The peugeot 307 sw.

It has three individual seats in the back. This has an enormous benefit, as you can lie them flat, move forward, etc, at will.

You can either fit two childseats and one adult, or three childseats.

It also comes as a 7 seater, so you can also fit 2 extra seats, in exchange for hardly any boot.

check what a beautiful car.... peugeot 307 sw

Do the seats in the 307 fold into the floor or do you have to take them out and put them in the shed if you need the boot space?

We're expecting no3 and need to buy a new car. I'm surprised there isn't a list anyway of cars which take 3 seats.

We're also trying to decide whether just to go for a seven seater to give us more flexibility with visiting relatives, but we would need the seats to fold into the floor as we don't have off-street parking or anywhere to store car seats.

Landrover discovery. Maxicosi (1 x toddler and 2 x newborn seats).

Thanks MM. We don't really need a 4x4, I was thinking more of MPVs or mini MPVs.

Renault Scenic. 2 Maxi-Cosi Priori XPs and Graaco infant car seat/base.

Honda FRV

We also have a Renault Scenic - DGP & DGM in front, 3 x DGC in seats in back + 2 x DDs in pop up seats in boot.

Thanks all. We're going to do some test driving I think.

Another Grand Scenic owner - very happy with it.

VW Touran - love it

We used 3 x Britax Kids but a Britax cruiser (? the one with its own harness, huge massive thing) also fitted in.
