Recommend your Mini-van

So I am thinking about getting a mini-van. Would be easier with DD and 2 dogs. Any suggestions? We are looking at the Honda Odyssey

Re: Recommend your Mini-van

  • I don't have a minivan, but I have a Honda (CRV). ?I can't say enough good things about our Honda. ?If we needed a minivan I would definitely get an Odyssey. ?I have a friend who has twins and she loves her Odyssey.

  • I have a Chrysler Town and Country and LOVE it.  Everything is push button (doors open and close with key remote)  We have 3 dogs (55-60lbs each) and our van has captains chairs instead of the middle bench.  DD get her own chair and the dogs aren't right there next to her.  Plus, another adult can sit in the other captains chair and not be squished against the car seat.  (MIL has a SUV and with nephew's car seat in the center of the seat, it is next to impossible for an adult to sit on the same seat comfortably)

     Also, while we were looking, we looked at the Ford Taurus X.  It's a crossover (inside is just like a mini van, outside looks like an SUV)  They are really nice and we came really close to getting that instead.

  • its not that great in the snow, i suggest the toyota sienna all wheel drive

  • My parents have an Odyssey and love it.  They have over 190,000 miles on it and have had no problems.  I've driven it and been a passenger and it's very comfortable.  Once our Camry is paid off we'll be shopping for either an Odyssey or Sienna to make the trips to visit my family easier with baby, cat, and dog.  You can never go wrong with a Honda or Toyota.

    ditto this!

  • I have a 2009 Odyssey and absolutely love it! Def go for the 2nd level model with the auto side doors.  It's a huge convenience when trying to get LO in and out.
