Generally the nicest for driver and passengers is the Ford Galaxy 2.0TDCI. But a new S-Max arrives next year and there may be a new Galaxy too. Next down the line, the slightly bigger SEAT Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan, but don't go for the DSG because the installation is particularly frustrating in these.
Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.

Proper seven-seat practicality which is more than you can say for most SUVs, practical and spacious even with all seven seats occupied, sliding rear doors are a real boon especially the electric versions.
Well-equipped with impressive refinement, comfortable and satisfying to drive, spacious and versatile, no other MPV is as good to drive.
