I've had an enquery for full time 2 yr old twins :clapping:

With an 8 yr old & 2 yr old of my own they won't all fit in my car for the school run. Hubby feels he will be able to fit the school run into his work day but realistically I think that if this goes ahead we will have to upsize our car, so, what would you recommend x

Love my Vauxhall Zafira.
Not too big to be a family car but has the 7 seats for minding duties.

definiatly a zafira cus you can fold the 2 boot seats down in to the car and then at the weekend it is just a normal family car,, the only downside is there is a very small boot space so you cant fit loads in but i manage by puttin stuff under where their feet go

Hi, I have a peugot 307 estate 7 seater and it's great.It has3 independant seats that all move and 2 in the boot that fold down and are really easy to take out and all the seatbelts are 3 point.
Not much boot space when using all seats but it suits me as it's not masasive.

I have a ford galaxy and love it, the back seats fold down and can be used for adults - i can also get my single and double (and have had another single) in the boot with all 7 seats up too.

Best thing I ever did was get the same opinion on here a couple of months ago! Got a Renault grande scenic 3 full seats (3 x stage two car seats) on the middle and 2 fold up seats in the boot. Could still get my double out and about in the boot behind the fold up seats. Also lots of space in front of the middle row to walk amongst the children!

Good luck with your purchase

I don't love my Zafira :(

Would recommend test driving one before you buy ( even if you are buying second hand )

My DH has a seven seater Volvo and I much prefer that car to mine.

I have a Zafira and whilst it has been good I really want a Fiat Ulysse as I need an 8 seater.

Zafira's are great and you can get certain double buggies in but not a lot! x

I have a renault Grand Scenic, which is great, unlike the Zafira (which i had before) you dont need to move the middle row of seats to get the boot seats up, is a great family car and a fantastic car for minding, all the seats come out of the car for easy cleaning (especially when potty training)

Enjoy you car hunting :clapping:
