have never been stopped for it!! The cars are Great, but if I could I would like to have the FRV as it should be better quality. But that said the Multipla does exacly as it says on the tin and is cheap enough to run. You can pop all the rear seats on in 2 mins and it makes a van for going down the dump, pop just one side rear seat out and fold the others forward and it takes a bike whole too. Renault Scenics are great for kids in the back, loads of room, low windows for them to see out, built in sun shades, massive boot and we have had three seats in ours, however, rubbish to drive. Makes a good second car for general family duty. We have an S-Max... and the seats are all movable (back/forward) and can take the three big car seats our 3 little ones need, they are also fully recline-able which is great for maintaing the preferred sleeping state for children. With the last row unused, you get loads of leg room for the second row seats too.
