Can you recommend a suitable car for a young family with three children?
Sometime during 2012 our family will have an addition and we will then have three children under the age of two years old. The current car will need to be changed for something considerably larger to accommodate an enormous triple buggy in the boot, with all the associated paraphernalia, and three toddlers in the back seat. The current thinking is to change to a Volvo XC90, 7-seat D5 manual, about two years old. At this stage, specification is the main consideration. Price will be considered at a later date, but top specs will not be considered and good value will be important. What would be your recommendation? Your input would be gratefully appreciated.
