Three kids - what car?

I guess it would depend on the size of your carseats but my friends holden commodore fits 3 across the back just.

I have a 4wd (isuzu wizard) which would fit 3 just. But I don't have an anchor point for the middle one which is probably also something to consider.

But the holden wouldn't be good for the crate. But a 4wd would easily accomodate that. I fit a crap load of stuff in mine

I've heard 3 carseats fit across a Holden Commodore. If you got the station wagon it would work with the dog crate too.

Ford Territory most definatly fits 3 seats across and has a huge boot space too!

it depends on your carseats as well. the radians are meant to fit 3 across most cars

At the moment we have a brio zento and a edinburgh deluxe booster and in DH's car we have two of the edinburgh deluxe boosters. We also have a capsule we could use, was mine, my friend is using at the moment but her boy will be out of it by the time this one arrives. The brio can rear face but the edinburghs can't. The brio is quite wide though 47cm, the edinburghs are 46cm. Have found some other seats (the radians) that are 43-44(depending which site you look on) and they can rear face as well as forward face. Need to take the measuring tape out car shopping I think.

DH is keen to buy the accord and then find carseats to fit if we can't fit a combination of the ones we have already, I don't really want to take that risk.

I've had 3 carseats in a standard Ford Mondeo before. Actually in the same car we've had 2 x Edinburgh deluxe boosters and a carseat

I know a triplet mum that has a Ford Territory. And also a friend mine (had 3 under 2) has a Holden Captiva.

We have a Toyota Previa. Ugly ugly car but both rows of seats are slideable so you can arrange the seats based on your needs (people or boot space).
With it we were able to go away for the weekend with 2 x sets of dive gear and everything we needed for 2 x 10month old babies without needing a roof rack.

We had a Focus Station Wagon when my girls were born. What we did was go to the shop and fit the seats to see if we could still get someone between the seats.

I've heard of others who have 3 car seats in a Mazda 6 too.

We have a 8 seater Toyota Estima and it is good that you can move the seats around, but we can't get 3 carseats in a row because the middle seatbelt of each row is a retractable lap belt.

OMG congrats two_boys! I had no idea you were pg.

I'm not much help yet, other than that was part of the reason I bought a radian, cos I want multiple kids, but loathe people movers!

We had a look at around, took our current carseats and a tape measure. The mazda 6 does look really good and will fit the Accord was slightly too small, but I think I have pretty much decided on an estima not because we can't three in the back of a station wagon but because I think that it might not be a wise idea. My two already fight in the car, if the little one is in one of his lets annoy my big brother moods, so I can just imagine it amongst three of them. Better to buy a bus and put them in three different seperate areas I reckon!
