    Alright guys, were looking for some advice re a new family car / people carrier. we recently got the great news that were expecting a new addition to the family in December. We already have 2 little men aged 3 and 1 1/2 who fit quite comfortably in the back of the accord. No room for a 3rd seat!!! Any suggestions? Looking for something comfortable, affordable and relaible. Thinkin of buyin new!!

    If you love the accord there is a 3 seat system you can get for the back. Costs about 1500 quid. Small change when you consider the cost to change up.

    There are loads of small mpvs that fit the bill.

    Honda FRV has 3x full-size seats in the back, if you fancy staying with Honda. Citroen Picasso and Fiat Multipla ditto. So have Ford S-Max & Galaxy and Seat Alhambra / VW Sharan, but they're going up in price and size.

    Its not easy finding a car with 3 full back seats. Scenic, C-Max, Zafira, etc. don't cut it width-wise.

    Hi We bought a Honda CRV 2mths ago as the family Wagan.... soooo much cabin space - we only have 2 kids but ferry my LO's friends around when needs be & more than enough space for 3 car seats..
    Boot on it is huge!!! Way bigger than similar cars - well able to fit a travel system, kids bike & a weekly shop!

    Thanks for the replies, any ideas what the name of the three seat system for the Accord is? Could be a good option, still think we could be a little tight for space!!

    Honda would be my prefered option, which in your opinion would be the next best bet?
