Which car will take three child car seats in the back?
We have a a five year old child and are expecting twins in six months, so are looking to buy a used car that easily fits three car seats in the back with a decent boot space for a double buggy and reasonable luggage.
The budget is a maximum of £10k. Ideally we'd prefer 3 ISOFIX fittings, but the car must be reliable/cost efficient to run and not too unwieldy to park. We're looking at the Renault Scenic, Peugeot 5008 or 308, Citroen Xsara Picasso, Ford C-Max or Toyota Verso. Thank you!

The old model 308 SW had three seats across the back. So does the Citroen C4 Picasso and Peugeot 5008 and Ford S-Max. The Megane Scenic isn't quite as wide and the C-Max and Verso are only really two and a half seats wide across the back.
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.
