My hubby and I are going to look at a "mom car" for me this weekend, since I drive a sports car right now and my LO won't fit to well in there. I am debating between the Highlander and the Traverse..anyone of you November mommies drive either of these feel free to give me your suggestions Thank you ladies!
Re: Anyone drive a Toyota Highlander or a Chevy Traverse?
I love my Highlander. It's been a great car with no trouble. Big enough to haul around a stroller and still fit in groceries too, but not a huge mammoth either. I had it serviced yesterday and our mechanic mentioned he might want to buy it instead of us trading it in! It's a 2005 and I am now looking for a new car.
I am going to test drive the Traverse because it has a 3rd row option with captains chairs for the 2nd row. With 2 carseats, I need a 3rd row for any other passengers or heck, our dog if we go anywhere, and need the 2nd row to be captains seats so we can get to the 3rd row! I just am not excited about a minivan. But there are other SUVs with that feature so the Traverse is not the only one for me to look at.

My husband and I test drove the Highlander, but ended up buying the 4 Runner because we are both very tall and just fit better.
We have been super happy with our Toyota and even after 5 years I still love, love it. My favorite part is how reliable it has been. Besides routine maintenence we have not had one problem in five years and over 100,000 miles. This has never been the case for me with other cars and I think it has converted my family to Toyotas for good.
I used to drive a Toyota Solara but it had to be retired
I wanted another Toyota soooo bad but the Highlander was just not big enough, the Sequoia was too big and the 4 Runner was just too much! I got the Traverse and I love it. It also gets better gas mileage than most SUVs of it's size and has more cargo space than many larger SUVs.
