Can you recommend a convertible with space for three children?

I have a very good condition 2010 Mazda MX-5 Mk3.5 1.8 petrol folding tin top. I would like to trade it in for a Renault Megane folding tin top petrol with say a £2,000- £3,000 payment. I love the MX-5 but I can't get more than one grandchild in it at a time and I have three grandchildren. I have previously enjoyed the ownership of a Megane convertible and would be happy to go back to it. Any comments please?

I can't imagine a Renault Megane being anything but disappointing after your MX-5, even if it is more practical for carrying the grandkids. A Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet would be a better option or a bigger BMW 3 Series Convertible.
