    Apart from commodore you should fit three in a falcon and maybe also in a camry/aurion?
    I've got a focus and I think you'd struggle unless like Tegam said you have slimline seats. My two kids are in maxi riders and no way I'd fit a third seat in.

    We also have a ford sedan and can't fit three seats in and we have two hi-pods (the ones from target) and we can't get another seat in. Friends have a Ford wagon and they can just squeeze three in.

    You really need to take your seats and put them in the seat of whatever car you're looking at. I did that and found the carsales people more than happy to help me.

    we have a commodore station wagon and it fits three car seats. We have a cage so we can fill the back up. DD1 has a seatbelt extender so she can clip her belt in more easily

    I just traded my focus - tbh there is no way I would recommend it for 3 children. The boot is spacious, however I can't see it beingbig enough for all the stuff a family of 5 entails.

    Thanks everybody We have two S&S maxi riders, which as others have said, are quite large. The 3rd seat is a S&S meridian. I'll measure them & start looking at car specs. Thanks for the suggestions - now I've got a place to start I like the idea of a wagon (we have a Jazz at the moment & I love the flexibility of a hatch).
