    New Golf Wagon and 3 Car Seats?

    So we're thinking of buying a Golf Wagon as an around town vehicle but do we have any chance of getting three car seats in there? I know it's slightly bigger than the Jetta and I'd only have 1 kid in there 90% of the time but on those occasions when I'd need to have all three, would it...
