Were now expecting baby 2 but im thinking our car maybe too small as the buggy takes the whoel boot and then we will have the 2 car seats on back seat. How does every one else manage with 2 or more kids, what cars do you have?

Sorry i cant answer but interested in knowing too as im in the same boat lol, i have a beautiful volvo s40 but the car isnt hatch just boot and its a tiny boot and theres no room for owt, so im looking for a larger car too! x I understand all the mums driving people carriers now lol!
You think that's bad.... IVE GOT A MICRA.... what the hell am I going to do... I don't have the money for a bigger car.. 
I haven't had to put a buggy in the car for years.. I have enough trouble putting a weeks shopping in my car

I drove a chrysller voyager yesterday for one of my customers and it was very easy and there is loads of room plus i think the seats can be removed so there will be room for buggy and shopping, so i may look at trying to find a 2nd hand one.
My mot is due dec, so im praying it passes, any one got a MPV? are they good on petrol/ diesel?

lol squiglet, I know how you feel i have a Ford KA. We also dont have the money to get a new car,christ knows what we are going to do when this baby comes along
!I have 2 kids and a vw golf, i have a maclaren techno xt which fits in the boot no problem with shopping too. My problem is that i am expecting number 3!!! I only have 2 full seatbelts in the back and quite honestly the seat isn't wide enough for 2 boosters and a babyseat. I have a passenger airbag that cannot be disabled. I spoke to the aa, who said the safest way to travel will be my 7 year old in the front with a booster seat without a back and the seat far back so that if necessary the airbag can deploy fully before hitting him, then the 2 smallest ones in the backseats. Luckily dh has a big mercedes that will fit us all in no problem, he needs that for work everyday but it'll be handy at the weekends!

we had a vauxhall vectra when number 3 came along but was a bit of a squeeze, 2 in back with booster seats and baby in front as there was no air bag but when dh was driving i had to sit in the back in the middle, that soon made me want a bigger car so we now have a ford galaxy which is great
mpg is pretty good, can get about 25/30 on run around journeys like school runs and town trips etc, long journeys we have got nearly 50 mpg but we tow a lot too so generally get aout 35/40 when towing
Oh ours is diesel too

We have Focus C-Max, I absolutley LOVE it, the seats all drop down or can be taken out so it virtually changes into a van when you need to move stuff
The boot is huge anyway, I keep the pushchair, Brody's trike, Mason's scooter in it all the time and still have room for shopping. really recommend them! Soon we'll have 3 kids and still won't need to upsize, it's more than big enough. We have one just like this:

well ive spoken to partner and my parents to see who will help chip in buying the new car. Were going to sell our car december and buy the voyager and my parents are going to give a bit of money for my xmas present to help pay. i cant wait
We decided the voyager would be good as we hope to get a couple of german shepherds once baby is about 1 so were going to need loads of room.
all i know is it has to be automatic hahaha too lazy for all the gears oh and diesel. there insurance group 14 so should be no more then 300 for the insurance i think
they do look huge, i hope i can park it
