Parents encouraged to use large 4x4's by the government

[Ardesco]

What a lot of people seem to have missed is that fact that the new child seat laws force parents with 3 or 4 children to either own a large 4x4 (or equivalent 7 seater, not many about that aren't 4x4 sized) or drive about in 2 cars due to the fact that you can't fit all the required child seats in a standard 5 seater car.

What do the hippes amoungst us who scream about how horrible 4x4's are have to say about the above, oh and any recoomendations on a good 7 seater to buy?

(Oh and Ford and Vauxhall are out of the question)

2 things

1/ How did people get by before these cars came along?
2/ How many families with 4x4 have 4 kids?

New Disco; 7 adult sized seats.

Consider investing in your own refinery though and fix some cotton wool on the front to prevent injuries to pedestrians.

1: They were not forced to buy these huge car seats. The laws have now changed and a child up to 7? must sit in a booster seat. If I take 2 kids in a car, I need a trailer to then take anything with me.

2: No idea, why is i that different? How many families with Volvo estates have 4 kids? same arguement applies...

Don't know much about cars but very quick research comes up with the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 7 seat. I expect there are others.
