Two Under 2

Reccomend your vehicle

DH and I both have tiny cars... they are both 4dr but there is no way that an infant seat is going to fit anywhere but the middle of the back seat in either one! So we're looking for our best options... we'd preferably like an SUV, but if you have a larger sedan that works for you then recommend away!

Re: Reccomend your vehicle

  • Are you or your DH tall? Honestly, any mid-sized sedan would pretty much work for 2 kids......

    Pre #3, I drove a Hyundai Sonata (we still own it) with the girls. I had no issues with fitting in carseats.

    GL in your search!

  • We got a chevy traverse, much handier than my saturn ion quad coupe. Ive had it about a month now and I love it!

  • just got a honda odyssey and love it. 

    but before that we had an accord. It would have fit two car seats, but I wasnt willing to do that.

    No, we're not very tall... DH is 5'10" and I'm 5'4"... but we do travel a lot because we don't live near our family, so we need something with plenty of space.

  • I just got a ford escape and we are pretty happy with it. Two car seats take up the majority of the back seat but the trunk space is great. The double stroller fits with other stuff. This will be our travel vehicle too. Gas mileage is pretty good also. ohh I also love that its easier to get in and out of.

    OMG I am so jealous. DH and I have been drooling over the Traverse since they did the heavy ad campaign for it during the Olympics. We have a 2006 CRV and honestly it's too small with one baby (for us anyway) so we really want third row seating once our little girl comes. Our other car is a honda civic so I feel your pain OP there is no way I am tooling around with the babies in there.

  • You may be interested in looking into a Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix - they have lots of storage space behind the back seat and the back seat itself is quite roomy.  I bought a Vibe a few years ago to accomodate my dog at the time and am currently expecting #1 so am really glad to have all the space for the gear I'm getting ready to haul around for the next few years!

     Good luck in your search!

  • We really like our Mazda5.  It's technically a wagon - it has 3 rows of 2 seats (so 6 seats total), sliding side doors, and a hatch back.  It's pretty unique.  I like it because it's smaller than a standard mini van, and doesn't look like one, but still has the 3 rows of seats and gets better gas mileage than most SUVs (especially SUVs that seat 6).  Plus, it's not terribly expensive.  Consumer Reports gives it great reviews, too.
