My sister has a traverse and loves it.

I have an xterra and one dd and it is fine. Two carseats in the back would fit but I don't think u could fit another person

I have a crv and honestly I think it is too small.

DH has a GMC Yukon and it is great, although I think it is a little high to get the kids in and out of.

For my next car I am considering the Honda Pilot, but may also look at Minivans! Chat Icon

I have a Chevy Tahoe with bucket seats for the boys. It's perfect plus we have a 4rd row. Trunk space is great oeven with the double stroller in there.

I currently have a mazda cx-7 and when baby #2 comes I want something with a 3rd row. Right now if we had 2 carseats in the back seat then we could never have anyone else ride with us. So I think we will get the cx-9 or a honda pilot.

We have a 2010 Ford Edge and we LOVE it for everyday use.

When we go on road trips though (which we do fairly often) we find ourselves wishing that we had more room.

But like I said, for everyday use, we absolutely love everything about our Edge.

Number 2 is on the way and we got a Honda Pilot.

I don't plan on using the third row often but, I wanted the option. I also wanted to not feel like my knees were up against the dashboard when riding in the passenger seat with an infant seat behind me (which was the case in our Subaru Forester and I'm only 5'4'').

I have a GMC Acadia that I LOVE. Gas mileage isn't too hot though, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have to travel far regularly/to work.

I have the Jeep Commander. It is perfect for them and has the 3rd row option for when #3 comes.

I don't want a gas guzzler either...we were looking at the Toyota Highlander or RAV 4 or the Ford Edge.

Same. I have the Buick enclave and 2 kids. Love the car. Happy that it has a useful 3rd row too so we can have other people and/or play dates in the car too. And because #3 is on the way! Chat Icon

I have a CR-V and I think it's too small with 2 carseats. The trunk is fine but no one can really fit in the back seat with the 2 carseats.

I want to get something bigger at some point this year. I really like the GMC Acadia.

Honda Pilot. Someone can still sti between the car seats if necessary and there is plenty of room in the back for storage.

With the 2 carseats the 3rd road really isnt usable since you have to climb in over the seats or in the back.

The thing I didnt' like about the Highlander was there really wasn't a seat in between the 2 car seats. I was very disappointed when they did this to the car.

I have GMC Acadia and both carseats fit with plenty of room. We also have the 3rd row which we leave down for the most part. I have sat in the 3rd row on a few occasions and it was comfortable for shorter trips. Tons of trunk space too!

I have a honda pilot which I really like but I am trying to convince dh we need to get a minivan. I just wish the pilot had bucket seats and space to climb in like a minivan does.

Ive had the Ford Edge for just over one year and love it. 2 car seats in the back with no issues and lots of room for strollers and other stuff.

We also looked at the MDX and the M5 but felt the Edge suited our needs best.
