Need a used car that will carry three rear child seats
What's the best vehicle to buy which can accommodate three rear child seats and cope with 25,000 miles per year?
Would be happy to consider a used vehicle and it would be nice to have something that could munch up the motorway miles. I have £8000 to spend, but could stretch to more for the right car.

It depends which child seats. Some are ridiculously wide and three will not fit across the back of anything. But if they are a sensible size your answer is probably a Ford S-Max 2.0TDCI. But you won't get much of one for £8k. Will have already done 100k miles whether it says so on the speedo or not.
Smaller, maybe an old shape Citroen C4 Picasso if you can stand to look at the thing. More robust with the 2.0HDI engine and manual transmission. The other way is to buy a three in one child seat. Quite expensive, but not as expensive as switching cars: multimac.co.uk/3_child_car_seat

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.
