You can't fit 3 child seats across in the 2nd row of seats in a Zafira, it's to narrow.

They are also smaller as based on the Astra platform as opposed to the S-Max which shares it's underpinnings with the Galaxy, V70/XC70 and S80.
That middle bench seat is a pain to move, if you want to get in/out of the rear seats you have to empty the middle bench seat!

I thought the galaxy was based on the S-Max platform?  |

In the S max, can you definitely fit 3 full size brat restrainers side by side in the 2nd row?

A lot of people have done it, best to take your childseats to the garage to check they fit, they should do. |

Ah, I was just thinking I should update you all.
Happily, we decided not to buy another car. It would apear that our eldest doesn't need a restraint other than the 3 point adult belt. (There is a clause in the law what says that a 3rd booster is not required if the presence of 2 other child restraints preclude the fitting of a 3rd.)
Most of the time the passenger seat airbag is turned off, and she'll be in the front seat. It'll only be when we're out as a family that she'll need to sit in the back.

Having said that, and with #3 imminent,(ie days) we're test driving an S Max tomorrow, mainly to check re. the clild seats and the general feel of the thing on the road. We won't be buying that one. (Aberdeen prices are preposterous)

Secondhand S-Max prices are stupidly high at the moment.
Not just in Aberdeen.
Many SMAXOC members have found it cheaper to buy new.
Have you tried Deal Drivers & Drive The Deal?

We found the S max to be a bit too big, is is to be herselfs car after all. It'd just end up scraped and battered.
VW touran gives us enough space, and with the DSG box, a 2 yr old one's about 14, which is about where our budget is.
