Need a baby friendly car - what do you recommend?
I'm going to be a mum for the first time in early 2015 and my husband and I need to upgrade our car. I'm looking for something that can easily get a pram and shopping/luggage in the boot, but don't want a saloon for that reason - unless you persuade me otherwise.
My budget is between £15k - £20k and I'm looking for something that would be primarily safe, reliable and comfortable and, if possible, fairly low cost to run (e.g. road tax) but, definitely, second hand.
We probably do 10,000 miles a year - the majority of which is around town with a couple of long distances thrown in. What should we buy?

I'm currently driving an excellent new car that comes in at £18,345 and would do the job very well:www.honestjohn.co.uk/our-cars/peugeot-308/first-15.../
But you may prefer something that looks a little more 'fun' such as a Renault Captur, that has the benefit of removable and washable seat covers, which could be very useful if the car is to carry babies: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/renault/renault-ca.../

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.

I have a nine month old baby and currently have a manual petrol 2015 Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost. I'm thinking of trading it in for an automatic petrol 2015 Peugeot 308 Allure 1.2 130 for bigger boot and improved...
My daughter and son-in-law are looking for a medium-sized, family hatchback, SUV or Estate. It needs to take three child seats in the middle row. Sadly, a big Land Rover will not fit in their street.
What seven-seater can your recommend for towing a caravan?
