We looked at the ASX while shopping for our Outlander, as well as a few other options. Discarded the ASX because the Outlander had just that little bit more in terms of passenger and boot space - it'd take the two seats ok forward facing, not sure about rearward as it's often easier to have the rearward facing seat in the middle especially if you've got a ginormous seat like the S&S Meridian. It also doesn't have much in terms of boot space once you've got a pram in there there's not much room for anything else.

Friends of ours have the X-Trail which I've driven - lovely car to drive, doesn't feel big at all but still has plenty of power when you need it. Ooodles of storage and rear passenger space as well as being comfy in the front. It was definitely on our list and we very nearly bought one, just got a better deal on the car we wound up with.

As mentioned, we wound up with the Outlander - fantastic car, love it to bits Heaps of space in the back, had the owner of the X-Trail comment when she sat in the back even with DS's huge seat how roomy it was, plenty of boot-space even once the pram is in there and lovely to drive. Can thoroughly recommend it, doesn't feel as big as it is once you're driving it too - I'm used to smaller cars and had no trouble going from my Mazda 3 to the Outlander. I'm 5'11 and have plenty of leg-room with DS's seat rearward facing in the middle, was a bit squished when we tried it on the side but with that seat I think you'd have that problem short of buying a Patrol or Landcruiser to be honest.

I'd take the pram along while test driving as well as the car seat if you can...good luck
