Best car for 3 kids under 5

[Sym7]

I know this one's probably been done to death but things change so I'm interested in ideas for a new car that's able to have 3 kids across the back seat.

All three are under 5 - two of them in full back booster seats and the third in an isofix second stage seat. I know Honda has finished production of the FRV and I've never been too keen on the Multipla. I'm looking for a new car to lease that can take me to payments under £500 pcm. Any ideas? I'm due to replace the R-Class in October but could swap it out earlier.

Fifth Gear seemed to like it, and you'll be able to have a proper car.

What would be the legalities of having more people in the car than there were oem seats?

for instance they do a seat with 4 seats that was in the back of a fiesta, which means you could get 6 people in, but ford only do it for 5. Would it land you in bother?

1300 quid though! Steep.

This looks great. price looks steep in isolation but if you were to think that for £1,000 you can open up your choice of car beyond the usual 4WDs and people carriers.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I've tried the link to the Fifth Gear site and it doesn't work. There's not even a youtube video of Multimac. The only way to get to see one is to fill out a form on their website to get an invitation to a fitting centre of have a visit to your home from a rep! It doesn't look like the easiest product to buy.
