How do you get around as a family? Theres 6 of us. Without our 7 seater, we'd have to take 2 cars everywhere.
The boot in our Voyager is wider than the boot in the wifes Fiesta. The very rear 3 seater is like most cars back seat and the middle 2 are pilot seats (the same as the front 2 more or less).

At the end of the day, with ALL things in life, you need to...... damn, I want to risk assess it. Nooooooooooooooo!!!

the 2cv and the green polo end up totally crushed in your second video,no survivors there front or back.

like some of the cars in this film,watch out for the berlingo,the seat and the old cavalier!

the only one that might do it is a hinda fr-v at least the 6 seats are fully tested

Have you thought about buying an import? I have an 8 seater toyota lucida (there are 6 of us too) and it's great. On a newer model you might get hit with high road tax though....I;ve got a older one.

Ok It might not look the sportiest most stylish car in the world but it's comfy, practical, has a large boot and is very easy to drive and park. There are more stylish imports available but always weigh up your running costs. I can recommend a good garage in your in my area.

hth & best of luck

I doubt 2 baby seats and a booster would fit and with the reduced seat size in the front, Id imagine the adults would be more at risk injuring the child than the impact.
It probably wouldnt take our buggy either (trust me, I looked at nearly everything) as the boots not a very good size.

I saw a volvo c70 with 7 seats last week, least it looks cool
