I would be grateful for your help. I drive s Skoda Rapid fastback and I am finding it difficult to carry my 3 grandchildren aged 5 and 3.5 years. Getting the seat belt into position is very difficult. Can you recommend a car which has s back seat with s width of 53 inches or more door to door Thanks Gerry
Hi Gerry,
You may need to upgrade to something considerably bigger, although it’s worth pointing out that the Rapid has one of the narrowest back seats in the class (it’s based on the same mechanical package as the Volkswagen Polo, you see). I’d suggest something like a Volkswagen Golf SV (that’s the five-seat MPV version of the Golf) or, if you’re buying used, a Golf Plus. The Ford C-Max and Citroen C4 Picasso are also well worth a look, and if you want to keep the size down, try the Opel Meriva, although make sure you take along all the seats (and grandkids!) to check and make sure they’ll fit.
