What car/van/SUV has 7 seats and huge boot?

I'm expecting my 4th child and we need to get a bigger car. I want 7 seats but can't find any 7 seater that also has a large boot when the rear seats are in use. I don't want the rear seats to be so close to the back window. I may need to get a mini van or some type of SUV?

Can anyone suggest cars to look at that have 7 seats and still a large boot area. Thanks!

Hi thanks, I'm actually looking at the VW Caravelle online now! Do you have one or have you seen one? I'm wary of how difficult it may be to drive around the city. Would love to hear someones experiences of it, thanks

We test drove the Chrysler Grand Voyager (new style) and I often wish that we had bought it- got a Q7 instead.

family i worked for had one (6 children, 1 dog, big buggy!)

i never drove it, but the mum seemed to get around fine in it

When I win the lottery Im buying one!

Any other suggestions? My budget is more around the £2000 mark!

The grand voyager is huge and I love it - however it costs too much to run and maintain and parts are apparently difficult to get hold of so DH said no - plus i is far too big when I only have 2 DDs!

Just a point my childminder found out recently the only van you can put car seats in the back row of is any of the mercedes models. Vauxhall and volkswagon this is a a no no and can invalidate your insurance. You need to get the dealer to check the handbook as she was sold a van after being reassuered by sales man it was suitable and subsequently found out on closer inspection of handbook it was not.
