I am looking for opinions on a new car. I recently found out im preg with #3. I dont really want a mini-van but would consider it. I was hoping for other suggestions. Currently I have a chevy equinox. I can fit a 3rd carseat in the equinox but it will def be tight..thanks for all thoughts..
Re: family car
Kia Borrego... it has 3rd row seating BUT that seating can be folded down for more trunk space if needed. Seats 7 which is more than you need but leaves room for kids' stuff =]
I have a new ford Flex (fits 7 comfortably) and I loooooooooove it! I always refused to buy a minnie van but with baby #3 on the way we needed something bigger. LOVE this...very stylish & comfy (pricey though)
My Ford Flex has 3rd row of seats but the middle seats left up so there's no climbing over. Its very easy. Its also a V6 not V8 like most trucks and its not on a truck suspension making it a very smooth ride
I am expecting #3 also and we broke down and got a Kia Sedona (minivan). My husband hates to be seen in it
BUT it's the best car-decision ever! I absolutely LOVE it, super convenient, I can hold so much stuff, strollers, etc. So glad I went the van route, and let's face it, with 3 kids I wouldn't be fooling anyone if I drove a "cool" car anyway
But if you have a little more to spend, the newer SUVs come with 3rd row seating. The newer explorers fit 3 seats across them, the newer Toyota Highlander have 3 rows and lots of cargo room, the Saturn Vue, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia are my favs for the newer cars.
Best of Luck!!
I like the Toyota Sienna simply because of this video
