Currently got a Skoda Octavia but it appears it would be a tight squeeze to get 3 car seats in the rear from measuring and of course you don't get the ISO fix in the middle seat.

There doesn't appear to be many cars that would fit 3 car seats in the rear. I believe the S Max does but are there any others?

Rather than change your car (unless of course you are contractually due, or fancy a change), change your car seat?

Multimac do a good range of 3-a-breast seating options for children.

S-Max has 3 individual rear seats in 2nd row. 2 more in the boot too.

Some cars have Isofix on the front passenger seat, including the Octavia. I assume it was an option and not standard fit.

S-Max is a good shout for triple rears.

I have a vague memory of later Scenics having triple Isofix, but that might've been a dream.

Most large MPVs have 3 individual seats such as the Alhambra, S Max, Galazy, Sharan etc..

Just accept you're going to have to drive around in a bus for a few years smile

I've got 3 kids and tried it with estates in the early days but gave up as it was just too much hassle and got an Alhambra.
It was the old style one but drove really well and was a superb family wagon.

Yeah I'm suspecting that's the case. Going from Octavia VRS to family wagon like that will be a big difference but if it's only option got no choice. I even think the superb can't fit three seats comfortably in the back either.

A while ago now, but used to be able to fit 2 plus a booster in the back of my BMW 7 series. I suspect a range rover or similar will also fit 3 across.

Not sure I would be able to use a booster due to my children's ages but I'll bare that in mind.

I'm not sure what your budget is but you can get the S Max 240bhp form:
