£5 says you wind up keeping the 530

Using certified safe child seats is reckless and selfish??? Come on now, that is a ridiculous thing to say, opinion or not.
Largest car my family (3 kids) had when I grew up was a VW Polo...we had 6 of them over the years. Largest was a sedan version (2 door). Most were 3 door hatchbacks. Granted child seats then were not what they are now, and that's not something I can recommend scrimping on...but we always all fitted in for family holidays etc; we don't need these 'cars' where you can wander about inside...it's simple enough to find a way with a little contortion, which isn't the end of the world. As for crash safety...I highly doubt an SUV is actually safer than a wagon. Accident avoidance is king there anyhow, and I fully agree with the OP that a nimble (relatively) wagon will beat an SUV etc there. YMMV.
