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.
