What's the best car for a growing family?

My wife and I are expecting our first child and we currently a 2015 BMW 420d Coupe. The BMW is on a two year lease PCP ending June 2017.

My two questions are
1. What would you recommend as a replacement?
2. Is it possible to end a PCP early and is there any implications?

Very expensive to end a PCP early, but any finance house will do a deal. A Mazda CX-5 diesel auto might suit, or a BMW X1 diesel auto. Both have proper torque converter automatic transmissions.

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.
