Which car for a couple expecting a baby?

My son in law is just about to trade his 1.8 51 plate Golf for a small/mid range auto because they are expecting a baby. Probably looking at a 3/4 year old car.

I have suggested a 1.4 Jazz (because I have a Civic with the magic seats). Is my suggestion reasonable or would you suggest alternatives?

A Jazz makes a lot of sense, but has to be post February 2011 otherwise you get the awful i-shift instead of a CVT auto.
