Hi everyone, i am looking at buying a new car and need some help. I have 3 young children who are all in their seats still, i would like to know what cars are well suited for 3 kid seats in the back as i know a lot aren't big enough. i would really like to stick with a ford but i know the BA back seat is kinda small so i was looking at the au style fairlane..

Mate, check out my sig. below, I've got a wagon and an AU Fairlane and I can tell you the back seat of any sedan or wagon from ford will struggle to get 3 seats across it.I've got 2 kids in Hipod seats and it's a struggle to get a third person in between them let alone a 3rd child seat. If you want 3 seats start looking at 7-8 seater vans with 3 rows of seats. Have a look at late model Delicas and Hondas and Kias as a starting point.

After looking into the same thing , you can't beat the Kia Carnival for room and price !
You could look at a slightly older Nissan Elgrand early 2000's - 2006 . Great cars , plenty of power ( 180+kw ) , all the options as well and are 8 seaters . They are my 2 picks when I upgrade the AU

You won't get a wider sedan than a falcon/fairlane. If a falcon/fairlane isn't wide enough for you, then you need to be looking at extra rows of seats.

Have a look at a VE sedan. I know they are the wrong brand but the back seat is a good size
