What do you drive?

And how does it work with the carseat/kids??

We have a Ford Escape -- small SUV, and it is just the right size but I'm thinking that when we have more kids we'll need something bigger.

I have a Trailblazer EXT (3rd row) which is fine for now but when we add a second car seat it will be a real inconvenience to get to the 3rd row. I want a mini van but we need to replace DH's car first.

We have a 2003 Maxima right now but it's way too small for us. So we went and bought an 2006 Acura MDX with the Touring/Navigation package. The dealership had to order it so we should be getting it real soon.
It seats 7 if you pull up the 3rd row. But you lose a lot of trunk space if you pull up the 3rd row. If you don't pull up the 3rd row, you have a nice sized trunk. Also it has airbags all over and side curtain airbags. It's a really safe SUV. The touring package comes with a rearview camera which is important to DH and I.

I just upgraded to an 06 GMC Envoy. Pretty soon to have 2 car seats in back row. Chat Icon It's not a 3rd row SUV though.

GMC is discontinuing the Envoy XL soon (the one with the 3rd row seating). NO offense to anyone, but you will never find me behind the wheel of a mini-van. DH will more than likely put me in a Yukon XL or some other big boat like monstrosity if we ever need it. Chat Icon

05 Liberty Renegade and 05 Nissan Xterra, since we are not having any more children I guess these cars will be fine

99 Honda CR-V. It works just fine now. Whenever we have another child, we'll look into a larger SUV with a 3 row.

Really - cause we are due in 2 months and I need a new SUV by then (I have over 125,000 miles on my Cherokee), and we have been looking into the Envoy and the Cherokee.
