Default Dimensions V40 vs V60

Hello. I would like to be a volvo owner but the question is : v40 or v60. Both are favourites in my mind but there will be just one reason (excluding the money) for me to choose the right one. THE BACK SEATS. Our family have 5 members.So I need 3 car seats in the back. The question is : v40 have enough space for 3 car seats? V60 I think have. Thank you.

V40 is a very cramped car, even for 1 person.

You need a V60 at least, probably a V70.

Not sure about the S60... Though an S80 would swallow up 3 seats.

3 car seats will be tricky in either car. You may not want to hear this but you may need to be looking at mpv style cars. Once out of the car seats the selection widens a little but until then it will be difficult to get 3 car seats in a regular car.
