Babies: 9 - 12 Months
What car do you drive? What car do you wish..
you could drive?
Since baby #2 is now in the picture (crazy!) we have got to get a bigger car! (Dodge Calliber is our current car) Our car now will be paid off in March (yay!) which means DH will get that car and we will get a new one.
I don't even know where to begin on what kind of car I want. Mini-van, SUV ?
Pro's?Con's?

Re: What car do you drive? What car do you wish..
I am really hoping for a sticking baby for you but I wouldn't jump the gun personally. I would at least wait past the 8 wk to think about cars IMO.
Me though, I drive a Saturn Vue Hybrid and love it but Saturn is out of business so you can't/shouldn't get the same one as me. Although I think my little small SUV is perfect for 1 baby possibly 2 if you didn't have any animals. I have 2 dogs so the car is just right for all of us and a friend for DD if she wanted to bring one along.
I have a Hyundai Elantra, DH has a Chevy S10 so Lucy can only ride in my car.
I'd love the new Dodge that Annice got *only slightly jealous*
we'll likely go Minivan when if we have a 3rd down the road. But I really don't WANT a minivan
I am confused....you want it to last 10 more years?
I think she wants to get an 08/09
We have a 2005 VW Touareg and a 2004 Honda Accord. The Accord is DHs car which we pretty much only use for him to travel to/from work. We have only had the Touareg for about a year but love it. We had a 2006 Ford Explorer before that and afte putting more than $3000 into it in a year and a half, we will never own a Ford again.
For me, the SUV works perfectly. I have a bad back and when I have to use DH's car, it kills me to get DS and the stroller in and out of the car. I also like having the 4WD in the winter. The gas mileage isn't horrible, but the gas mileage in a minivan is better.
We have been talking about having a 2nd child and know that when we do, we will probably get a full size SUV - we are currently considering the GMCYukon Denali or Yukon XL.
I currently drive a Jetta.
When my lease is up, I'd like a Tiguan. I'll probably end up with a Taureg.
acura mdx (2004) model. we just got it.
recently we were in a car accident and out car was pretty much totaled from the front. that was a nissan maxima
Thanks Everyone!
Hip2b- We aren't jumping the gun, our plan was to get a car as soon as we paid off our old one, because DH's car is on its last leg, so DH needs my car for work.
Just having a 2nd baby on the way just gives us the extra push.
Currently 2005 Chevy Trail Blazer - just got it because DH totaled the paid-off expedition recently. I like it so far. It's not a mini-van, it's bigger than a regular car but smaller than the Expedition (which I wanted). It has 4 wheel drive and can tow something if need be.
Wish I had 2011 Dodge Charger - and it's just that, a wish. Totally not practical for a growing family. But it's sooo pretty.
I have a 2011 Honda Pilot and H has a 2009 GMC truck I love my pilot but I love Honda cars so I'm happy with the Pilot, before that I had a 03 Pilot and a 00 Honda CRV.
We just bought a 2010 X5 with the 3rd-row seating. I'm not a mini van person so that option was out. I've done the whole test driving and checked it out and I love it. I have yet to drive mine but I'm sure I'll love it
I have a Saturn Ion. I'd like to drive a Dolorian.
Congrats on the BFP
"my car" is a 2010 Buick LaCrosse. Do I get to drive it? Nooo.
I'm stuck in the 05 Trailblazer EXT most of the time.
Oh, and what I wish I drive... Umm... I don't know, but something sharp looking with a lot of awesome features that I can fit everything in.
I just got a 2010 Dodge Caravan the day after Thanksgiving. I love it. I looked at Traverses and lusted a while, but a van made more since.
I don't need a van now with just LO but DH's car needed replaced and the Equinox we first considered didn't seem to make since in the long scheme.
DS- Wesley- March 14, 2010
I drive a 2010 GMC Acadia. It's the pimp model, whichever that is. 3 rows of seating = love.
I would like to drive a Maserati.
haha this cracked me up.
We traded in my SUV for our Town & Country just before Gigi was born. I love it! I am made at myself for getting the SUV and not just getting the minivan from the get go.
If I could get anything I would get another minivan.
I drive a 2009 Nissan Altima which I love and DH drives a 2008(?) Chevy Impala which I hate but get stuck driving so we can save mileage on my car (plus, DH got a new job this year that gives him access to a company truck whenever he wants it which is often so he leaves my car at work and I end up driving his). Mine is a lease with one year left and I recently hurt my back putting DS into it so we are going to trade DH's car in for a minivan around Feb/Mar for me to drive and then next year when my lease is up DH will get something.
I'll likely get either a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna but I'd prefer something like a Tahoe but we don't want to spend that kind of money on the vehicle or the gas. I'm really not a minivan girl but I want something with the space that a minivan offers but not the price of a huge SUV.
2010 Honda Odyssey. Neither of us ever wanted a minivan, but it was the best investment we ever made.
I really wanted a Tahoe, but the minivan is so much easier with babies.
