We also have a Capella wagon but can only fit 2 Safe N Sound Royale's, or 1 Royale and 1 capsule.

This is a great thread, I like the look of the Mondeo, might have some butt-kissing to do ]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:32:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=990134&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#990134 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=989989&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#989989 Author: ohanlon82

Oh good to know cat007 - DH has a Mazda Capella wagon so might need to swap later on but by the time we have 3 i am sure he would have wanted to upgrade..

I have a mazda Capella station wagon - can fit 3 carseats across the back not a problem. Best is to try to find slimmer carseats, a couple of mine are "Babylove" brand - and they fit no problems.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:20:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=989916&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#989916 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988654&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988654 Author: ?Lolly?

Ethan has a new car seat and it's quite narrow compared to the foam type one he use to be in. But we fitted both the car capsules in (couldn't get the bases in too though) + Ethan's car seat. Not sure how wide the Inspire is but it's worth trying. ]]> Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:33:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988654&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988654 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988644&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988644 Author: caraMel

You guys are awesome, thanks so much!
Love the last pic Emiloly

My brother seems to think we'll get 3 across the back in the Inspire. It is quite wide but I am doubtful.
Will have to see if I can borrow a capsule and have a play. ]]> Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:23:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988644&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988644 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988588&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988588 Author: ?Lolly?

After a lot of fussing around & I wanted a car that fitted 3 across the back. I went to all car yards with a tape measure!

We got a Ford Falcon. We had a camry as well. Both have massive boots & the falcon has a even bigger boot than a camry

I really liked the Toyota Avensis except it didn't have enough grunt for me & I keep redlining it when accelerating! so we stayed with a 6 cylinder car.]]> Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:29:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988532&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988532 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=988528&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#988528 Author: Mumma2b

I too have a Nissan Bassara like nannyabby. Must be the fact that we are both nannies aye! FUNNY!

Although my Bassara is only 7 seats. I could have had a 8 seater one but decided I liked the fact that I could fold down one of the "Middle" row seats which makes accessing children easier when it comes to putting children into carseats.

My seating configuration from front to back goes 2, 2, 3. Would have been better if it went 2,3,2 thou because if you fold up one of the "Back" seats (The back seating row splits) you loose 2 seating places.

Heh, as Kate said, I have a Mazda Atenza and I DO love it. one of the reasons I am having NO MORE BABIES! However if I did end up 'up the duff' again sometime in the future I would get a Toyota Ipsum. The newer model. That is a great car. It has 7 seats but it's not a van - the back seats go up and down so you can use it as just a station wagon.

This is the newer one(2004+??), I took one for a test drive and liked it. It has some cool features. Reverse Camera, parking sensors etc



My Mum drives one like this which isn't quite as nice but it's heaps cheaper and still a great car.

we have a Nissan Bassara which is not quite as big as a people mover but bigger than a station wagon - seats 8 when back back seats are in place. We were looking at a Nissan Liberty initially - its about the size of a station wagon but has 2 'pop up' seats in the boot. but we decided to go a little so we could have good boot space with all the seats out.
We are only pregnant with number one but thought we'd go there while we had the double income to pay for it!!! And Kia ora to wanting to have the kids friends play at our place!]]> Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:30:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=987558&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#987558 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=987462&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#987462 Author: LouD

we opted for a people mover to - and I love it!!!! When it comes down to it, Ivy is 5 and at school, we've already picked up other kids to drop home when someone else has needed a hand, and its nice to be able to do that. Having the extra couple of seats makes a big difference and I really really love the car... didn't expect to! We got a Honda Odyssey. I wouldn't go back to our sedan, it feels weird driving it now. ]]> Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:50:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=987377&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#987377 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=987368&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#987368 Author: minik8e

Our car fits 3 car seats across the back, that's one of the reasons I got it, we've got a holden commodore calais - it has three proper seat belts across the back seat. It wasn't cheap though, but its our family care and will be what we have for the next 5-10 years.
Subaru wagons have similar room too. ]]> Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:08:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=987357&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#987357 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32654&PID=987347&title=cars-that-fit-3-carseats#987347 Author: caraMel

Is there such a thing that isn't a van or people mover?
At the moment I drive a Honda Inspire and have both my older children in harnessed boosters and there is not a lot of room left between those to fit a capsule/baby seat.
