I did once get three across the middle but can't remember what seats I had. The ones I've got now must be wider as I can't do it again.
    Thanks for your reply, I have a single in the boot but from September need a double too.

    Read this thread with interest, how can you all afford all these posh cars!

    I have "Trev", he is a Toyota Previa, he has 8 seats but is soooooooooooooooooooo old and battered but just goes on and on. He is huge, wide with a sliding door and fits 8 adults in comfort, hundreds of car seats, a mountain of Ikea furniture, two big dogs stretched out as far as they can and has many a time delivered 8 drunken 18 year olds safety home from a night out on the town! He has hit walls and posts , is easy to park due to a goldfish bowl amount of windows and gives a wonderful view over hedges, into peoples gardens for a nose and makes me feel safe on the motorway.

    He does guzzle petrol, has high road tax, never has a bath and is not too pleasing on the eye but he is Trev the Prev and we love him

    Oops I mean 7 drunken 18 year olds as I would be the driver and therefore sober and definitely not 18!

    Argh!! I am in the same predicament, I'm looking into leasing as I can't afford to buy outright,new or used.

    Was looking at the Qashqui+2 with 2 car seats in the back and car seat and small boosters in the middle?? Any thoughts?! Anyone else got one?!

    Only issue is I'm not sure my phil and teds double will fit in the boot even without no wheels?!

    When I had my grand scenic...I bought an extra single and double umbrella folding buggy from kiddicare. Simply the cheapest buggies I could get that folded as small as possible...they worked a treat and I still use them now as they're just easy to get in and out of the bus now perfect for school runs and trips out!!

    We have a Zafria and we love it. We got it from motor point and was less then a years old. At weekends we drop seats down and have a big boot. We have 3 children and its a must for us. Really really easy to pop seats up and down. Why don't you go to available car where all the cars are unlocked and staff leave you alone, have a sit in and a play with the cars. Then go else where to buy one that's cheaper lol.

    Thank you so much,

    I am currently going through all the cars, although I really love the Chrysler Grand Voyager!!

    We bought our car outright and although it is a good little runner, it is old and we recently found out it had been in TWO right offs which the garage failed to tell us! Also, it is starting to require quite a bit of work which is going to cost more than the car is worth.
