Which seven-seater is best for carrying young children?

I'm looking for a seven-seater. I have three children under the age of three and am specifically looking for three full size seats in the second row that are adjustable. What do you suggest I look at?

The best is probably a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, but others include Ford S-Max and Galaxy, SEAT Alhambra, VW Sharan. All have three separate seats in the centre row, but I should warn you that some child seats are so big these days that they will not fit three across in any car.
