I've got the use of an S-Max this weekend. Not the new model with the sliding doors: a 2009, 7 seater.


I have two forward facing maxi-cosi bucket things for a 4 year old and a 2 year old and a backward facing number for my 8 month old.


Could anyone save me about an hour with my bottom in the air and the children running wild in the street tomorrow morning by tipping me off as to the best way to configure these? The two big buckets on the middle row and the baby in the third row? Or will they all squeeze into the middle row? Either way, feels like I'll have to take one of the larger child seats completely out in order to put the baby in and out (which seems like a bit of a pain).


All know-how gratefully received.

Hi both, this thread is interesting to me as we're about to have a third (with 3yo and 15mo) and thinking about either a Touran or S-max. Would either of you recommend them/have any reservations about them? Is there plenty of room for three car seats in the middle row? Any feedback gratefully received. Thanks.

Well I've been out for the first time in the s-max today and loved it.


Plenty of room for the three car seats in the middle row. It felt quite roomy and there was no bother getting the kids in and out. Boot is very big with back seats down. Even with 7 seats up there is a bit of a boot, but not much.


You need to get the 2.0 engine though as (I'm told) less than that and it's sluggish.


Are you a member if Which? It is worth paying the subscription to use their website for a big purchase like this.

Ps we used a car finding service, recommended by Which, called Palmdale. They found us exactly the car we needed (in Milton Keynes), negotiated the price, had it checked over and delivered it to us. They will also advise you on which car suits your needs, although I think the Which comparison tool is all you need for that.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
