6/7 seater cars? and Car seats?
Hello,
Can anyone tell me if you can get a 6/7 seater car for fairly cheap in Perth?
We have four kids so need a 6 seater. But wanted a cheap run around that we could replace a few month later with something better.
Anyone know if its possible, cheapest car?
Ive heard people getting cars for 2000 -4000 dollars but not so sure about 6 seaters.
Will not be living in Perth City so need a car to get around. Work is WA but will be in Perth for first two weeks.
Also what is car seat requirements for a 2 year old? We have a very good (plus it was expensive) toddler car seat here and wondering if I should just get rid and get one in Australia.
What is car seat law for ages 8years etc. Do they need booster seat etc
Any info appreciated.

The law seems more biased towards the weight of the child as opposed to the actual age, there was a good thread on this a few weeks ago try searching booster seats or child seats.

We [well Deb's Dad] bought a 7 seater Mitsubishi Nimbus it's an oldish one but only cost him a couple of grand. Less than a months car hire would have cost, we've had no problems with it for two yrs then Deb blew a top hose a couple of weeks ago

Note the 7-seater spreadsheet is a bit out of date now, for instance the Hyundai Santa Fe is now available in diesel, and the TerraCan is on the way out. The Mitsubishi Outlander is a new contender.
