My daughter has two children under two who travel in the back of her 2007 Fiesta in modern child seats with separate ISOFIX tethers. She is looking for a vehicle that is wide enough to seat another adult in the back, as when my wife and I go over to see her we have to use two cars. She does not like the idea of using the front passengers seat with the appropriate child seat, secured with a seat belt. She tells me also that the airbag on her car cannot be turned off and on easily.

Ideally she is looking for a petrol vehicle, but for parking, would like it as compact as possible. She does not want a massive 4x4 or similar. As the range of vehicles these days appears so vast could you suggest a few to look at? Her price bracket is around £7000 and her annual mileage about 5000. Your help would be appreciated.
