    Hey Rhy

    We found in our research it was hard finding a car that suited having 3 car seats across the back seats, usually a falcon or commodore will do it, but I have trouble driving them because I'm short and can't see over the boot when I reverse - which can cause problems.

    We ended up getting a people mover - so it was exxy so I can't help you out there. But the Kia's are pretty cheap

    We have had 3 car seats in both Commodore and Territory. It was squeezy - it may be worth seeing if there are narrower car seats available? As if for a small car - regardless I'd take your car to trial the fit at a big baby store before you buy, JIC. I had a Mazda 121 and some issues with fit with my initial seat.
    Good luck and congrats!

    Im 170cm and have driven a commodore before can see and all that. So I think that may be the way to go. Can anyone else think of any sedans/ wagons that would do?

    I'm currently driving a Toyota Yaris sedan (Toyota's smallest car atm) and can fit three car seats across the back. It is a tight fit, but it can be done

    We had a falcon futura - 1997 model when DD#3 was born. We couldnt afford a new car at that time, so we battled on with the 3 x car seats across the back....like others have said, squeezy, but doeable.
