Twenty grandad

I am retired and find myself in a situation whereby I need to convey my two grand children in car seats along with their mother. Therefore I need a car up to £20,000 that has space for 3 adults and 2 children in car seats and not too big. I have a focus and my daughter an A Class Merc, both of which are too small. Your help would be appreciated
