What to know

Bring the car seats and do a test fit. A third row that looks useful in photos may leave no boot space, or be too tight for anyone but small children.

What to check

  • Rear seat belts for every seat, and child-seat anchor points.
  • Boot space with all the seats in use.
  • Air conditioning that reaches the back rows.
  • Airbag warning lights, and any sign the airbags have been deployed.

Common questions

Which type of car suits a Kenyan family best?
A wagon or compact SUV suits most small families. Larger families often need a seven-seat SUV or a van. Rough home roads favour higher ground clearance.
Do I need a seven-seater?
Only if you carry more than five people regularly. A five-seater is usually cheaper to run and has more boot space.
