Taking Katie, Archie and Molly out for the day all though greatly pleasurable can often be very tiring. They all have very different requirements and are certainly not shy in letting us know what they want.

Taking the New Seat Altea XL out for the day was a pleasure in many ways. The extra boot space gave us the ability to get everything in that we would need. You just never know when one or the other is going to say "where's my bike" and sometimes answering "it's at home" isn't what they want hear.

Forget the cup holders in the fold down table, a place to put Teddy is far more important and the separator between the children a god send.

For us grown ups up front there was also plenty of gadgets to enjoy and we loved the design of the display. There were so many good things on there that we were disappointed that we didn't get to drive through rain, bendy country lanes at night or test the parking sensors, very important for Torie!

But we will definitely get to test them in the future.
