I have a Suzuki Swift with two car seats, one forward facing and one rearward facing plus a strider plus and extra toddler seat!
I've always had smaller cars with, you just need to use your space wisely.
Is your getz a 2 of 4 door?

Don't! I have an 02 astra CD (4 door sedan) biggest nightmare I've ever owned! There is less than 130,000 on the clock and the past 8 months its been in the mechanics at least once a month for everything from sway bars to the alternator and battery. I'm down over 5 grand! Every mechanic I have ever spoken to says mechanically they just don't have the legs and aren't worth the tyres they drive on. I know a few ppl who have bought astras too and same thing happens every time. Whatever you do don't get an astra!

I have it getz and it's fantastic but it only me that uses it. DP has a roomier car, this one is just mine. Do you have another car or is it just going to be you using it?

I sold my astra at 130 000 because it had a sensor problem with the transmission that no one could fix and the indicators kept breaking. It cost me over $1 000 to "fix" before I sold it, but even then the transmission started going funny again. My mechanic friend said not to touch an Astra over 100 000 km too

Mine is a four door. I bought it brand new about 5years ago now. Have finished paying it off last year. But it's starting to have things wrong with it, and I use it alot so the kms are high! But I don't want another loan tho, if only I could do a clean swap for another car of same price or cheaper but with no problems obviously.

I drove a little Mazda 121 when I had my baby and I had a compact rear-facing capsule. It was fine
My girlfriends could sit comfortably in the passenger seat but I know my DP needs a LOT of leg room.
I've decided when we have another bub I'm not giving up my Suzuki Swift, he's going to get a large car for when we all need to go out and I'll just drive mine when it's just me with the kids.
