    We have a mitsubishi 380 and you can fit 3 car seats well in the back n the boot is HUGE!! We bought it when we got pg cause I had a 3 door Hyandai accent... and that was NOT going to work! lol. It's a good sized car if you want a sedan still instead of a SUV or station wagon.

    My brother n sister in law have a Suzuki Grand Vitara 7 seater and they have all 3 kids in the one row, fit prams, shopping, etc in the back cause you can fold up the seats in the back to make a huge boot area. We will prob get something like this in a couple of years cause we want 4 kids.

    We have a vs commodore sedan. There is enough room for 3 carseats across the back and pram and groceries in the boot. I think if there is ANY chance you are going to go for number 4 you would be better going for a 7 seater. We have had to upgrade 2 times due to having more kids, the 1st one was a little 2 door and couldn't fit a reverse carseat in, and the 2nd one couldn't fit 3 carseats across the back.

    Ditto that. We went from a Ford Focus to a Ford Falcon to a Toyota Kluger to a Toyota Tarago. If your going to stick with just the 3, I can recommend the Kluger if your looking for an SUV. Or Falcon is a bit squishy for 3 carseats and a pram + other things in the boot. Ive heard the wagon's are great though.

    Wagons are great for space if they're your type of thing. SUV wise, a Kluger or a Territory is a good size. We have a Rav, it fits 3 across, but one day we'll upgrade to the Kluger when the girls get older.

    We have a Toyota Altise that has the boys seats and an adult can also fit in the back so another seat will fit. Also the boot is huge.

    DD1 & DH have a Ford wagon which is very roomy
