I don't want an MPV!
Hi, how do I search for a car that is not a 7 seater, minivan type car (hate the mommy minivans with a passion)? Basically am looking for a car that will fit three child car seats across the back seat? But please not a minivan!
Our answer:
Hi Vivien,
You're looking at a very narrow window of opportunity. It's very, very hard to find a non-MPV that will easily take three child seats in the back. Volvo's old S80 and V70 will, as will some of the larger SUVs, but beyond that it's slim pickings. You could try getting a rear-seat conversion that will allow you to slot in as many as four child seats in the back, but it will depend on the ages of your kids and it has other limitations.
