    Remember if you have an older child using a regular seatbelt you still need room to do the belt up between the seats.
    You can get a seat belt extender so you don't have to reach through the seats...makes it a lot easier.

    My friend has a falcon wagon, shes got 5 kids, and she loves it, the bench front seat and the fold down far back ones. We go for road trips all the time in it and it fits me and DD and my friend and her 5 kids comfortably. we have the 2 bub and a 4 yr old in a booster seat in the back and there is lots of room

    good luck

    We’ve just been through this and I’m pretty sure you can’t fit three normal seats across the back of a Forrester or Honda CRV (or Mazda 7 either I think). Maybe you can get three special slimline seats but you’d have to actually check (thoroughly).

    We’ve ended up with a Ford Territory and we’re really happy with it. I would definitely try commodore or falcon station wagons for the price range. Government Auctions are a fantastic place to buy these sort of cars for bargain prices. Just Google “government car auctions Queensland” (there’s one in each state).
