Buying a used family car with loads of room - suggestions?

We're looking for something that will take 3 child seats across the back and has loads of space to take camping gear, cases, etc. Most runs are a few miles, but generally once a week I do a 25 miles each way return trip with a few hours between. Our budget is preferably about £20K, but could stretch to £25K.

Standard answer is a Citroen C4 Picasso, but it depends on your child seats. Some of these are so wide these days that no car will take 3 across.
