    what’s the total budget - including what you’re likely to get for the Octavia?

    What sort of driving are you doing, and how much mileage per year roughly?

    Id say 20- 25 grand all in ,

    Id imagine i do about 16000k per year maybe less,

    Short runs most of the time wit hthe kids & then maybe 2 long country runs per months during the summer months,

    Superb estate has been recommended here before as being wide enough. SUV/MPV wise I'd recommend an Smax

    The Superbs don;t fit 2 baby seats & a booster in the back, They seem to be long but not wide,

    Smax seems to be the way forward

    Skoda Kodiaq will do 2 seats and a booster.

    You’re much better off with an MPV. I still think the Sharan was the most practical car we’ve ever had by some distance. Those sliding door were just brilliant. Something like the Superb (we’ve also owned a combi) would be a very poor choice in comparison.

    I’m pretty sure a Tesla Model S fits 3 baby seats

    VW Sharan, Ford S Max or Ford Galaxy would all do the job.

    These are great also. Plan ahead for holidays in France.
