Can you recommend an estate car that can fit three child seats?
We currently have a Skoda Octavia Combi but looking for something more useful for a growing family into many outdoor sports that need boot space and roof carrying. (i.e. not an SUV as they just don't have useful luggage space)
Are there any large estate cars that you can fit 3 child seats across the back? Or am I headed towards an MPV?

No estates that I can think of.
The Volkswagen Touran is probably your best bet. It is very practical with seats that are easy to fold away and an interior that's packed full of handy features like picnic tables, cup holders and smaller storage spaces. It's middle row of seats is made up of three individual chairs that each have Isofix points and have enough room to make fitting a baby seat relatively easy, although it is worth checking your seats fit.

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.
