    Vauxhall Zafiras are going from £2k upwards and you can (a bit of a squeeze) fit three seats in the middle but also easy to have a single seat in the back with good boot space.

    We have had one for two years with three kids and its great although we dont put the child in the middle on a seat as she is not far of the height restriction and its not law if three seats wont fit. For longer trips we used the back seat.

    Check out the Citroen Xsara Picasso - it has 3 full-sized seats in the back with proper seatbelts in all three, and they're fairly cheap too.

    its an 03, it has 3 full seat belts and a massive boot.

    I have 3 mothercare advance sp seats, which go from 9 months to 11 years. I previously had 2 and a "full" car seat.

    My full service history tdci lx, with 100k miles is worth about 3k.

    I was also going to suggest this, we have the estate and I love it. Lots of space and reasonably economical.

    3x 3 point seat belts in the back, fits 3 full sized carseats.

    We've got a Nissan Almera Tino - the people carrier type one - its got three proper seats in the back that fit three car seats; an 02 reg cost us £3k a few months ago.

    I personally think its a great car.

    I was going to say VW Touran, but you won't get one for that budget as I think it only came out in 2003. Zafira might be your best bet?
