Which is the best MPV for 3 kids?

We have two small boys (three and five five years old) and have another on the way. Obviously, we want to buy a car that can carry three baby chairs in the back. What cars should I consider? I prefer automatic (diesel or petrol) and I could almost afford a new Kia Carens or Toyota Verso but I'd rather prefer to pay a bit less for a used car with low mileage.

The answer to the seven seater problem is to get one with three full sized middle seats and fold up or remove the rearmost seats, leaving a vast luggage space. Ford S Max, Peugeot 5008, Citroen Grand Picasso all have three proper centre rear seats.

The Honda FR-V is a further alternative. No DPF problems with the 2.2iCTDI because it doesn't have one. Otherwise 2.0 and 1.8 fine (and chain cam). Older 1.7 belt cam petrol best avoided.
