    My DH has a Navara. We fit three seats across the back pretty easily; a standard S&S convertible in the middle, a Maxirider on one side and a Hi Liner on the other. The convertible was initially rear facing for DD2, but now faces forwards. DD is 9 and no longer requires a booster, so we have removed the Maxirider and moved DS into the Hi Liner, but we had three across the back for well over a year (DD is very small so I kept her in the booster until a few months ago!). The kids never complained about a lack of room.

    We have been pretty happy with the Navara (it a diesel, that's about all I can tell you about the mechanics!). DH now has a work car as well, a Holden Colorado. We have only had two seats in it, don't know if it would fit three? DH reckons it drives OK, but I reckon it's pretty ugly!!

    Where are the anchor points? I didn't think there was room behind the back seats, but again never had a look at one.
    It's down behind the back rest. You need to fold it forward to get to the bolt

    Ok so the deal with the other sort of utes is height clearance. DH does a lot of work (the majority of his work) is CBD-based and he's often parking in underground carparks, which have a height clearance. So the van option and the other utes are too high, he won't get in. So he says!

    We actually had an iLoad/iMax combo on order Onyx but it never arrived and then DH changed his mind and cancelled it!

    A Crewman is lower and ideal, apparently.

    I think after discussion with Netix and The Man (thanks guys) we're going to go with the crewman, for a while anyway. The kids should be comfy enough for short trips in their car seats and if we need to do a long trip, well that's what my SUV is for
