3 Children car/car seat choice....
Discussion
Hopefully I need help from people that have been there and done it! Come July we have our final instalment arriving and I'm a bit stuck on what to do on cars, with car seats being the problem as I see it.
Safety is paramount, so we currently have ISOFIX cars seats. The oldest is 4 in September, and now in a Recaro Monaco seat, which is ISOFIX connected, the soon to be middle child now 2 is in her Maxi Cosi Priorifix, also ISOFIX, and the third one, when it arrives will be in a Maxi Cosi carry job which connects, guess what, into an ISOFIX base.
Currently my wife drives a 07 Honda CRV which has 2 ISOFIX mounts. They question is what the hell to do!!!
What do other people do? Most cars only offer 2 ISOFIX across the back seats, and if you move to 7 seats, ala Discovery, XC90 Galaxy its still rear occasional seating, with no isofix, and I'm not really up for sticking my kids in a potential crumple zone. I'm pretty sure that cars the do offer 3 ISOFIX across the back won't actually be able to use all 3 at the same time due to ISOFIX seats being so wide....I may well be wrong....
The car choices as it stands are:
Ford Galaxy
BMW X5
Volvo XC90
Land Rover Discovery
But none of those really address what I am going to do re child seating. I'm pretty sure I won't be the only fool to have 3 kids under 4, so with safety pretty much the number one....what do the PH knowledge suggest?
Secondly, its not wasted on me when I was a child for the most part we had no car restraints of any sort, but we now live in a world the is a million miles from back then...and thats probably for the best...!
Many thanks
