Hi everyone, i am looking for japanese cars with spacious rear seats, enough for 2 child seats + 1 adult.
any cars spacious enough?
Or are there any particular child seats which offer good protection for the kids and at the same time not very bulky?
Thanks for all constructive inputs!

Nissan Slyphy or Toyota Altis if you are looking for a basic sedan.
For Slyphy, note that rear seat is not collapsible for a bigger car boot space.
For infant car seat, i chose nuna rebl. it has anti-rebound bar and the extra support leg placed onto the car floor for extra stability/safety protection. I have not used it yet but it doesn't look bulky. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your input. yes i am considering the toyota altis, just not sure if there is enough space for the adult to sit in the centre of the 2 child seats..
I will look into nuna rebi. Thanks!

HRV has good rear space.
For safety and space, the Merc b class is even better if you can go beyond Jap makes.
One of the safest cars in its class.

Important question, are you and your spouse tall? If above 1.8m, some choices will not be suitable.

TS asking for opinion for Japs lah.
Dear TS,
My suggestion is for you to go to the showroom and have a physical look at the car. If you ask me, I would suggest a MPV if you need to put 2 child seats in the back. Usual suspect for Japs MPV .... Wish, Mazda 5 etc etc.

Dunno tall or short, fat or skinny.
I would say the current Altis has good & spacious rear legroom.
Child Seats that don't take up too much space is the Maxi-Cosi Rodi.
Just go to the Baby Hyperstore at Kaki Bukit to browse. I go this model there. It's not isofix so you can shift a bit here and there. With isofix not much shifting you can do. I'm like you... want compact child seats that do not take up too much space.

The chosen one will bring balance to the Force...I mean Singapore. Even star wars do not reserve "the chosen one" to a sith lord or a jedi or a wookie.
