S-Max and Galaxy do the job too, although the galaxy will be signalling to the world you've given up on life. At least the S-Max looks fairly ok and is nice to drive.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostComment

R class merc can fit three child seats.

Child seats.
Its seven forward‑facing seats make the
R‑Class a family car without equal. What’s more, the
second row accommodates up to three child seats, while
its two outer seats also feature ISOFIX points that anchor
the seat to the bodywork, meaning optimum safety for
even the smallest of occupantsComment
