Kids love the Grand Scenic.

All kids, not just my own, are particularly enjoying the third row of seats (are young’uns genetically programmed to want to sit at the back of vehicles with more than two rows of seats?). However, by sitting in the back they miss out on second row toys such as the sun-blinds and trays (the latter are located on the backs of the front seats), which were, judging by the frequency with which my adorables move them, no doubt designed for their entertainment. In fact, the Renault‘s interior is proving such a hit that one six-year old has been overheard saying: “I’m going to tell my mum she has to get this car.”
