I had a Xsara Picasso 5 seats, spacious boot, room for 3 car seas side by side in the back.

Now got a zafira as needed more seats. I can get 2 car seat and high back booster in the middle row, and have booster seats in two boot seats. Not a lot of boot space bit fits a kiddie are double stroller in fine.

C4 Grand Picasso. Any seat anywhere, reasonable amount of space in boot with all seats up, room for a 3 wheeler if only one up in the boot.

But I lust after the vw built in harness option!!!!

Vw with two inbuilt seats that convert from adult to booster to five point harness. Means lo can travel backwards in five point harness until about 4. Very spacious and I'm on my second I love it so much.
i would love a sliding door.

I have a grand scenic, 3 car seats in middle row (sliding seats) boosters or high backs in 3rd row. Room for p+t with all wheels off in boot but 3rd row are so easy to put up and down that I can put it in with wheels on.
Sharan with built in seats sounds amazing!

I drive a Skoda Octavia and have done for the last 13 years.

Skoda London - The Skoda Octavia (http://www.skodalondon.com/skoda-octavia.php)

I can get 3 seats along the back seat and you can isolate the front air bag and put a seat in the front.

The boot is so big in the hatch back we didn't get the estate. I can get a double buggy, a car seat, a weeks shopping plus assorted bags and coats into the boot easily.

I get 50 to the gallon (D) running around locally and more on a long run.

It is cheap to insure (£350) but that would depend on where you live and your driving record, I pay £100 Road Tax, I have always had 3 years free servicing.

A Honda crv it's got 5 seats loads of boot space. Could easily get 4 pushchairs in the boot. Tend to only have one and two dogs though. Don't think you can have three car seats on the back but have never tried.

Sliding doors are a must in MPV's makes it so easy to get children in and out :thumbsup:
