Recommend an estate car with room for two baby seats and a booster seat across the rear seat?

Child number three is due in December, so we are in need of a conventional estate car that is capable of fitting two baby seats and one booster seat across the rear seat. We specifically do not want a bulky 4x4, or a SUV/people carrier etc. We would prefer a manual (but an automatic could do) and we would like plenty of 'go,' reasonable handling, but not excessively hard suspension. This is to replace my wife's Impreza Sportwagon.

Ford Mondeo Estate, Skoda Superb estate or, if it were me, I'd go for a Ford S-Max.
