Need a new family car that can take three child seats in the back - what do you suggest?

I need a car which will take three child seats in the back. It must have a minimum kerb weight of 1400kg and engine power of at least 140ps. I’m happy with either a petrol or diesel and can spend up to £28,000. What do you recommend?

The obvious contenders are the Ford S-Max and Galaxy, preferably with the 2.0i EcoBoost engine, but make sure you get a decent discount. try www.drivethedeal.com Others include Peugeot 5008, Citroen C4 Picasso, Peugeot 308SW.
