We need a car for three children - what would you suggest?

We will soon have three children who will all need car seats. We currently have a 2015 Ford Mondeo and cannot fit three child seats across the rear of the car. We also need space for a dog and luggage for holidays. I have looked at the 8/9 seat Volkswagen van and the Ford Tourneo Custom but there must be other alternatives. Any advice would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance.

The most obvious is the Mondeo based S-MAX that has three centre seats across and can be used either as a 7 seater or a large estate car. Others include the Citroen C4 Picasso and Grand Picasso, also three across the middle row. For more seven seaters have a look at this list: www.honestjohn.co.uk/topten/top-10-seven-seaters/
