What do you drive?
We currently have a 7 passenger SUV and now with expecting #4 and still going to have 3 in car seats it's hard to find something accomodating.
TIA!!

Re: Those with large families 3+ kids
I have three and drive a Sienna. I LOVE it. The two older girls are in booster seats in the back row and the toddler is in a rear-facing carseat in the middle row. There is still space between the girls in the back and a captain's seat in the middle for an additional one or two passengers.
I've never driven an SUV--my friend drives a Pilot with three and loves it--but I can't imagine driving anything else now that I have a minivan. The automatic sliding doors alone are worth it! Also, it's so easy to get to the back if you need to. My girls are able to buckle themselves in now, but the middle one was still in a carseat when #3 was born and it was simple to get in and buckle her.
Minivans rule!

Re: Those with large families 3+ kids
I have a 4 year old DS and twins that are 14 months. I have a Toyota Sienna as well and love it. I never wanted to be a mini van mom but TBH I can't imagine anything else being nearly as functional.
DS is in the 3rd row and the twins are rear facing in the middle row (captains chairs). We do not have the middle seat in the 2nd row, but there are 2 seats in the 3rd row for extra passengers.
Between the auto doors, auto trunk, dvd players, all windows open, and so many other perks I am actually in love with my minivan!

I have 3 kids and cram everyone into a 2006 Toyota Corrola. It's not pretty but it's the safest car we can afford right now. My SIL calls it "Meaghan's clown car." Lol.

Re: Those with large families 3+ kids
3 kids in the honda odyssey
we have 3 kids in the 2nd row and they fit perfectly...if we need the room we move my almost 5 yr old and her booster seat to the 3rd row..but we did have 3 carseats before we switched her to her booster seat
that is one of the many reasons we picked the odyssey - bec it was the only van where there was hook ups for carseats in all six positions/seats in the 2md and 3rd row!
