Mrs Puff will shortly be popping our second baby. Mini Puff is now two years old.

We currently own a BMW 330d which we have owned from new and is now 3 years old. We like to go on road trips, eg last summer we went 6,000 miles to the Arctic Circle and back, the day we bought the car we drove straight to the Eurotunnel and drove around continental Europe for 2 weeks etc.

On a lot of trips, one of our friends or relos comes along so with the new baby, this would be 3 x adults + 2 x young children.

You can get two baby seats plus an adult in the back of our current BMW, but it is squeezy, so thinking about other options; in order of preference:

- A saloon car which is bigger, in particular wider in the back
- Same as above, but an estate. Possibly a 7 seater estate if they exist.
- A 7 seater SUV

If I can buy a BMW 5-series, Audi A6 or E-class Merc or a Volvo _and_ the back is actually wider, that would be great, but I'm not convinced they are actually that much bigger.

Anyone on here on PH who regularly puts and adult + 2 babies in the back seat of their car?
