£10,000 to spend on a family car I have two toddlers and am expecting my third child soon. Which cars accommodate three child seats across the back? I don't want an MPV and the cost of taxing and running a four-wheel-drive vehicle is frightening. Am I being unrealistic? I want to spend about £10,000 on a good, used car. Look for a Peugeot 307 SW or Peugeot 3008 SW. They are the only cars with three separate rear seats and suitable anchorages. A Honda FR-V, Ford S-Max, Citroën Picasso or Renault Scénic might make more sense, though, and you can probably squeeze three child seats across the back of a relatively wide car such as a Ford Mondeo or Volvo S80 (but not the Vauxhall Insignia or 2004-2011 Audi A6). The new Kia Rio is one of the few small cars with three rear ISOFIX tethers, plus one for the front passenger seat.
