    How many of them need car seats?

    These are key questions!

    We downsized from a Saab 9000 to a Toyota Yaris. We're now on our 2nd Yaris. It's a squeeze to get the 3 boys in the back, but it can be done (they are now all 19+, but skinny): just don't expect to get much luggage in the boot at the same time! The back seat shifts backwards and forward to give more or less boot room, which is great until you really really need the leg room ...
