Lexus RX-350L
The Lexus RX-350L ranges from $82,000 to $109,000, it is a lovely, smooth car to drive and it has great storage throughout.

Infinity QX80
The Infinity QX-80 ranges from $110,000 to $111,000 and has four top tethers! So I could install four big child seats however the ISOFix and top tethers are difficult to attach to because of their positioning. You also have to remove a child seat in the second-row to access the third-row. Legroom is good throughout. Storage is good throughout the QX-80 and it has an enormous central console box! There are media screens in the back of the front headrests and headphones supplied for the rear passengers. The QX-80 is soooo surprisingly light to drive, it really is a shock and very pleasant for a big car like this. Read the full review here.
Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series
In the Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series, ranges from $79,000 to $121,000, the third-row seats don't have any top tethers or ISOFix so you can only install three child seats in the second-row. The interior felt outdated to me but it suits the off-road nature of the vehicle and there is great legroom throughout. There is an enormous central console box and the boot space storage is great!

If price wasn’t the issue, which 7 seater suv has the biggest leg room (particularly in the 3rd row) as well as a real boot? Reading this it sounds like the landcruiser except it doesn’t have car seat capabilities in the 3rd row… For a family wig 4 kids in car seats and the need for adults in the 3rd row. I love your website- the only one I’ve found that makes sense for mums and dads!!
Hi, off the top of my head the Nissan Patrol has a massive boot and 4 top tether anchorages.
These two articles might also help as I managed to fit a twin or tandem stroller behind the third row.
