What car/truck do you drive?

DH and I are looking to upgrade our sedan and would like something that can fit 3 car seats in 1 row. Any suggestions?

Re: What car/truck do you drive?

I have the 2014 Honda odyssey. I swore I would never get a minivan but here I am. Chat Icon. We really had no choice plus it's great I can press a button and the doors and trunk slide open.

You can fit 3 car seats in the 2nd row (the outside seats can slightly slide over to make room in the middle to fit a 3rd seat). However you wouldn't be able to get to the 3rd row. I have one seat in the 2nd row and 2 in the 3rd row.

Look into the Acadia! I think for the money, it's great.

I have a GMC Acadia Denali and really love it!
I have my 4yo in the 3rd row in a high back booster, and my 21mo twins rearfacing in the captain chairs in the 2nd row. I then still have room for a double stroller and groceries in the trunk.

Just an FYI - you can only fit certain seats 3 across in the Pilot (I've tried to add a seat in the middle for one of DS's friends and it didn't work). I have a Britax Marathon and I tried to put in 2 Graco Argos and it didn't work. I can't do 3 Argos either.

I have an Odyssey. I never had all 3 in one row but I am pretty sure it is possible.

I have however had a ton of issues with my car. Although i am not quite ready to give up the minivan I am looking into other cars.

Looking into the Explorer, Acadia and the 2016 pilot when it comes out.

I found this link really helpful with fitting carseats side by side.
