Is there a saloon car that will take three child's seats across the back seat?
My daughter and her family are returning to live in the UK. They need a car large enough to take three children's car seats in the back. They would prefer a saloon car rather than an MPV or an SUV. They are looking secondhand with a budget of £15,000-£18,000. Any ideas?

There isn't any such saloon. If they want three proper seats across the back it has to be a Peugeot 308SW, the excellent new Citroen C4 Picasso, a Peugeot 5008, a Ford S-Max, or a bigger MPV. The new C4 Picasso has three ISOFIX fittings and is priced from £17,500.
Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
