Well we are upgrading our cars in a few weeks once we get the money from the sale of our house and with TTC baby number 3 we need a car that will be able to fit 3 car seats. DD will be in her booster seat but DS is still in a car seat until he turns 4 and he is only 2, so no booster for a couple of years at least.
Any suggestions? We have a $10k budget and DF doesn't want it to be a wide body due to a very narrow driveway and having 2 cars... We are looking at the Subaru Forester but was hoping to have other ideas... also if anyone drives a Forester can they fit 3 seats comfortably?
a good friend of mine has 3 under 4 - and they have a Forester! So i know you CAN fit in 3 car seats - I know one of those is a maxirider too, and they arent really narrow.
We are in the same boat at the moment - suggestions we have had -
Forester
Mazda Tribute
Commodore wagon
Falcon
and then all your large 4wds - which we dont want to do!
We put three seats (one convertible seat in the middle and two big booster seats on the outsides) of my friend's (VY) commodore. I imagine both the commodore and falcons would be pretty much the same size.
We have a Ford Mondeo Ghia and it has three car seats in the back. Safe n Sound Meridian, Hi pod and a 3/4 booster for DS1. It was a bit of squeeze for my DS1 to do up his seat belt while the Safe n Sound was in rward facing, he mangaged it though. Got quite a bit of extra room when we turned the Safe n Sound fward facing, my DS1 was very happy!
I like the size of our car, can park it easily and it is great with petrol as well.
It's a hatch model so it also has great boot space when you want to go away or need to have a pram in your boot with also a boot full of grocery shopping
MD, since I'm in Vic, I don't know the rego rates up there. Is there a difference between a v6 and straight 6 rego? Or is your hand being forced to a four cylinder?
