My name is Tracey and Im 39 years old. Im a single parent of three sons age 18 months 16 and 21. I currently drive a Renault Megane Expression 05 plate with isofix.
I live in Birmingham and have a Samsung S6. I drop my son to college sometimes and take the little one to different groups as well as babysitting my niece and nephew and doing the school run.
I would love to test this car as I know at present i simply could not afford so to experience 2 weeks would be heaven for me and my family it but hopefully one day I will be able to buy something beautiful like this.
Hi there,
My son Hugo-Blaze is 10m Old, Myself and his father are both 26.
We have new a Peugeot 2008.
We live in Kent.
Being a new parent when choosing a car seat we were clueless and were lucky enough to get one free with our pram set which was a stokke Xplory, the car seat was Stokke EziSeat X3 - to buy on its own it would have been over £300 so we assumed it was good, what they failed to mention that this car seat was one of the heavyest on the market and that the isofix which was another £180 is only compatible with this make. Having had a c section this car seat was impracticable for me to use, my partner even struggled to carry out 5lb baby in it, that’s when I knew it was time for a new one.
We now own the Gracco milestone car seat (yep that’s right were a sucker for those tv ads), this is amazing and it does not get removed from the car.
Who else finds strapping there child in a traumatic experience? I wonder if the seat available to test will have an easy plug in harness.
Other things to know about me is I am a very nervous driver and am petrified to put my son FW facing. I use my car every day and car seats are a big part of being a parent so I would love to test one!
Forgot to mention my phone - oops
I have a Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge and my partner is an iphone 5s user who refuses to move with the times ( p.s android is better )

I am 37, my husband is 40, my son is 4 and we have another baby on the way! We both have iPhones.
We live in a village in East Yorkshire and currently drive a Peugeot 308 and a Vauxhall Corsa. We have 3 dogs and 2 horses. I spend a lot of time zipping around the countryside (sometimes over some not very Peugeot 308-friendly terrain!😬) sorting the horses, driving to and from work (I work as a support worker for a lady in a nearby village) and taking the dogs and child out places.
My husband in the other hand, uses the car to drive in and around the city for work where he works for a large international company. We also make regular trips down to London to visit friends.
We have been thinking of getting a new car, and ideally a 4x4/SUV type, but I'll admit I hadn't heard of the Seat Alteca until now.
It would be fab to find a car that can segue effortlessly between our combo of muddy, bumpy-roads country lane and busy, chaotic urban streets.
Should've said we both have iPhone 6s!
I am 31, my husband 34. We have a six-year-old daughter and 3-month old son. Our family car is a Ford Mondeo Estate Titanium 1.8 Diesel. We live in Southampton, Hampshire. I have a Motorola Moto G Android phone.
Being on maternity leave we are now down to one car as I can walk to school each day. When I return to work I will need to buy a new car. Over the years I have had an old Mini City E with it’s 4 gears and 998cc engine, Ford Fiesta, Citroen Saxo, Rover 25 and now our Estate. I really enjoy driving and always wanted to be an F1 driver, although settle for watching the races on TV these days. I have been to Goodwood, Silverstone and Thruxton to see Porsche Cup races and see the BTCC.
We are just starting to venture out for family days with the baby, our next trip will be to Beaulieu Motor Museum. We would love to test out the SEAT Ateca as I am sure our family could attempt to fill it’s 510l boot space and the keyless entry would be exciting to try. I think we could convince our daughter it’s a magic car!
My husband works in IT, so anything with in-built tech will be well tested. We opted for the Titanium version of our Mondeo because of the extras that came with it.
I am 34 years old and my husband is 46 years old. We have two children aged 3yr11m and 2yr4m, both are boys. I currently drive a 2005 A-Class Mercedes Benz, petrol with automatic gearbox. My husband drives a 2008 Fored Mondeo, deisel with a manual gearbox. We are living in Guildford, Surrey. I have an Apple IPhone 5s. We have no pets but we are national trust members and love getting out and about in nature, often.
my car is often full of stuff, bikes, buggy's, wellies, walking shoes and i drive it everyday doing pick and drop off both at school and nursery, I also go regularly to play groups so have the opportunity to test the car in both a town and country environment. it will be put through its paces with ou two little ones as my current car was top of the range when it was made so this is the reason I think we'd make good testers.
I am 27 and my partner is 29 we have two children aged 8 and 5. We are expecting another baby in February and have been lookin for a new car for the last few months but can't decide. our children do regular after school clubs so we are always here there and everywhere. We also drive to Scotland from reading very regularly so need a reliable car that can get us around safely. We currently have a vauxhall Astra. We would love to test this car!
sorry forgot to put that my 8 year old is a girl and 5 year old a boy. we both have iPhone 6's
I'm a 38 year old full time working mum to my 6 year old son. My partner is 48. I have a Samsung Galazy S5, my partner has an Iphone 6. I am currently driving a 58 plate Ford Cmax. My partner drives an old Mercedes SLK. I have seriously fallen out of love with my car following a number of issues that have arisen with it, typical older car with one thing going wrong after another. I am looking for a new car but have no idea what I want. Cars have never really interested me, but after letting my partner chose the last one, I fully intend to be the decision maker in what I shall be driving next, and am feeling slightly competitive in wanting to show him that I can chose a much better car for us than he did!
I am a busy mum, what with work, school runs, clubs and extra curricular activities and I would love to test a car that would make all the tedious weekly journeys a bit more exciting.
Hi! I am 28 and my partner, Colin is 35. We have 2 daughters, age 4 years and age 4 months. We are both working parents. I'm currently on maternity leave from my job in retail, and my partner is a security officer. I use an iPhone 5SE and he uses an iPhone 6s Plus. We currently use a Citroen C3 as our family car, hoping to upgrade to something bigger soon though. My partner also rides a motorcycle. We live in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, and would love to be considered to test this vehicle. It would be nice to have a few family days out in a spacious car, rather than struggling with the pram! We both have clean drivers licence.
Thanks
My names Naomi I'm 24 an my partners 26. We have a 18 month old daughter Jessica and we live in Horsham in Sussex.
We currently own a audi A1 an both have a Samsung S5.
We are always on the road visiting family in Somerset, Dover or London and every Sunday we take our daughter to stay at her nans while I'm at work Monday.
OK, so... Ive just re-read this original post and guess what - BABY BRAIN IS STILL A REAL THING 10M.
its a car not a car seat, I get it now let me start again.
My son Hugo-Blaze is 10m Myself and my partner are 26 and we live in a new build home in Kent. I have a Samsung S7 edge and he is still in the dark ages with an I phone 5s.
We currently drive a new Peugeot 2008 1.4 Petrol car, I am already back to work (boo) so when I am not driving my son to his Nan's I am a fully fledged taxi play date service. I am an extremely nervous driver so a safe car is important to me.

Hi my name is Aoife I will be 35 on the 17th of October and my husband is 33.
I drive a Ford focus that has 283000 km on the clock and my husband has a mitsubishi pajero in need of repair. We will be changing in the next 12 months or so.
We have 2 girls, Kaissy is 5 in October and Alicia just turned 1 this week. Their car seats are from Carrefour.
We have a Sony experia and Samsung galaxy 5.
We live in the East of France in the Alps so we take lots of day trips in the mountains and weekends away also. We need the car for everything.
I know living in France I probably don't qualify but "He who doesn't try has nothing".
Have a good week.

Hello, I am 33 and my partner is 32. We have a 10 year old girl and a little boy who turned 1 yesterday.
I drive a Nissan qashqui and my partner has a BMW as his company car.
We live in Watford, Hertfordshire and I have an iPhone 6s and he has an iPhone 6 Plus.
I am continually in and out driving all over the place. If I'm not taking my daughter to school, dance, drama or friends then I'm driving my son to nursery, playgroup or play dates...and that's just they're social lives, I'm then flying around shopping, working and socialising myself so having a comfortable, reliable family friendly car is so important to us. The boot is continuously being used for the pram, shopping bags and kids stuff so having a spacious boot is a must for us.
Hi,
I am 41 and 5 ft 6. and my husband is 43 And 5 ft 8 ish. We have 5 children.
Boy 16 nearly 6ft
girl 13 5 ft 6
boy 9
girl 8 Taller than her older brother!!
boy 5 months.
We can only afford to run one car and it's a Toyota Corolla 06 plate. We live in Bolton Greater Manchester.
We both own iPhone 5 's.
Since our family increased from 5 people to six and now to seven we've found it really hard to find a decent reliable spacious family car for us all to go out in as a family. We've been searching for cars recently as hubby's having to double his journeys so we could attend recent family funerals, which have been really devastating for us. Other than financial issues, our family are taller than the average family and finding a family car to fit us all in comfortably is a mammoth task. We've never considered SEAT so having to product test it would be fantastic and my husband and son are huge fans of top gear. 😊A family trip to Blackpool for all of us to see the lights instead of doing two trips taking half the family at a time would be brilliant! It would make us all happy. Also having been given the opportunity to try a SEAT family car that embarrassingly enough wasnt even considered as an option before May open up our eyes in trying something different.
Hi there, I am a 42 year old mum living in West London and in need of a new car so checking out different family cars at the moment anyway. I have two kids, my son Elliot is 10 and my daughter Hattie is 6 and we have a Boxer dog pup who is 5 month (but very good on car journeys). I am basically their mum/chauffeur/skivvy. My husband also drives but I do the majority of running the kids around to various sporting and social committments. My current car is a VW Golf and is on it's last legs (wheels) and I am clueless about cars so this might actually be an opportunity for me to take control and learn something! I also have an iphone 6.
Perfect dates for us, as Hugo-Blaze's birthday approaches lots of family trips booked and time off work. xx
My family and I would love the opportunity to try out the new Seat Ateca. We are a family of 5 consisting of myself (32) Mr.F (36) and our 3 children aged 3 (M), 8 (M) & 9 (F). We regularly travel around the UK and abroad, and document & review our adventures on our blog.
We currently own a Dacia Logan MCV & both my husband and I have held clean licences for over 10 years. We both have smartphones which are a Samsung Galaxy S6 and an iPhone 5C.
We live in North Wales, which is a gorgeous part of the UK with both coastal roads, and scenic mountain routes quite literally on the doorstep. Cheshire is also a short distance away over the border and so we often pop over to that lovely area too on a weekly basis.
We are an active family and so rely on a vehicle for work, school runs, after school clubs, hobbies, shopping, and personal taxi driver to the kids.
My eldest son plays football 4 times a week, and my husband is a teacher, DofE instructor, Climbing instructor and football coach, and so boot space as well as plenty of room for the kids is something that we always look for in a vehicle as this is a must with all our hobbies. We are also keen campers.
Overall, I think we would be a great family to try this vehicle out and put it to the test.
