After finding out that we are expecting #2 (YAY) i tried turning DS1's car seat (SnS meridian) rear facing behind passenger seat and it is not really gonna leave Pete much room in the front!! We currently have a Subaru Impreza hatch.

Sooooo, we are thinking of upsizing our car but we want to think ahead as we are both considering having 3 children if we are lucky enough too and don't want to upsize now and then have to upsize again in a few years. So, what cars and car seat combinations work for x3 seats?? Say 4/5yr old, 2/3yr old and newborn??

We are considering Toyota camry and Mazda 6 but not sure if they'd be big enough? Would prefer 4 cylinder if possible due to horrible petrol prices!!!

I am looking at a Kia Carnival as we are going to have a 14mth age gap.

mazda 6 wagon...check one out for the size in the back and the boot, its AMAZING!! i can fit so much stuff in the boot of mine! there is heaps of room across the back seat, and lots of leg room too! and its 4 cyl..the only thing is u have to get premium unleaded fuel for it, but in saying that i can fill it for $55 and that gets me about 500ks of travel. (plus the premium is better for your car anyways!) :thumbsup:

Good luck in your search!

Kia carnival grand here (see avatar)...they will always grow and need bigger carseats!
(and might have friends that need a lift etc...well they were our reasons)
