Mines for sale......
Nik:wouldn't fancy the big estate option myself if it was to be home for one week a month, but if you do it'd be by far the cheapest option.As others have said, seating 4 is the big stumbling block - crash tested rock and rollers are ££.
I'm not sure you really 'need' to worry about crash tested rock and rollers. I talked to a company that were producing these after just gaining the certification, the only thing that changed was the price as they're massively over-designed. However, I'm not a parent.
Says metal framed in the description. Seatbelts too. V doubtful it's crash tested tho.
Could always have the kids up front and make the other half ride in the back...
I definitely think the rear seating/bed set-up is worthy of a fair bit of thought, and is the one thing that I now wish (as a new dad) that we'd spent a bit more on in our van.

Me too. We had a wooden RnR bed at first and kid 1 rode up front with us. With imminent arrival of kid 2 we bit the bullet and got a RiB bed for our (read her) peace of mind. I'm glad we did not only safety but for the added bonus that they fold out longer than the RnR bed, so my feet don't hang out over the end esp in winter.
