    hi,
    i am looking for suggestions.
    currently driving honda accord.
    my requirement is
    i need to fit in - 2 car seats with isofix base + space for one adult.
    so far i have seen that if i fit in 2 isofix bases, there is no/very little space for an adult to sit.

    I dont think any 4x4 or jeeps are helpful.
    s-max is the only one that comes to my mind.
    any suggestions/

    If the likes of your accord doesn't cut the mustard then you're looking at mpv's alright.

    Smax etc is the only way your going to get that kind of room.

    I was in this situation a month ago, driving Accord Tourer when 3rd baby arrived. I got myself S-Max. Other suitable options were Touran / Sharan, 5008, C5 Grand Picasso, S-Max / Galaxy, FR-V.
    I guess it depends as well how much boot space do you need. You can use 3rd row for additional seats but then you have no space left.

    Berlingo / Partner / Doblo / Multipla etc. would work quite well. They have a lot of room actually. But coming from accord they can be hard to adjust to.

    You could probably squeeze 2 car seats and a smalish person i the something like C-max.
    Mazda 5, Grandis, Oddysey will work only if you use 3rd row.

    S-MAX has 3 iso-fix points in the second row BTW.

    Citroen C4 Grand Picasso,Honda Frv,Ford Galaxy,Seat Alhambra

    We have had 3 adults, 2 teenagers (15yrs old) and 2 Isofix seats for the smallies in our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso and traveled from Cork to Dublin and back in comfort

    Alhambra has a slightly larger boot when the 3rd row of seats are in use but they are harder to find 2nd hand than the Citroen
