Lurker...I have minivan envy.

Anyone else?

My 2010 Subaru Forester is totally cramped with the 4 of us packed in. Those new Honda Oddesseys are catching my eye...sliding doors! 3rd row incase I've lost my mind and decide we need a 3rd! Automatic doors!

You know you're an adult when you find yourself lusting after minivans. I've been there. We got a Toyota Sienna and I love it.

Yes me too! But I only have one child. How lame is that? We took our truck in to be serviced at the dealership this weekend and I was eyeing a new Sienna. We have a VW Sportwagen right now and it is just too small.

I still can't see myself buying a minivan, but the new Honda Odyssey's have a built in vacuum. That's pretty awesome!

I saw the vacuum in a commercial this weekend and was tempted to get a minivan for the first time ever. I am anti-big-car in general but the vacuum is totally a feature I need! My car is a disaster from the kids' endless snacking.

This! My husband is amazed that on the weekends when I have a choice to drive his sports sedan or the minivan, even without the kids, I chose the van pretty often.

I have it also! I drive a honda accord with 3 kids! I cannot wait to get a minivan (once the middle one is out of daycare) When my accord is being serviced I go sit in the Odyssey at the dealer and dream.

OMG we just went out of town for labor day weekend and rented a Town and Country. It was AMAZING and I want a minivan. I LOVED it. We have a craptastic 2010 Jeep Compass and we hardly fit in there with 2 car seats in the back. It has very little trunk space and we can hardly fit our double stroller in there. I HATE IT and want a minivan.

This x1000!

The automatic doors are awesome especially at daycare pick-ups when I have two kids, my hands are full, and some other moron (umm, parent) parks too close to my car. They're struggling to open their door, and mine just slide open. This actually came form a real conversation I had with said preschool parent who totally envied my minivan!

I saw the commercial too with the built in vacuum! That's an amazing feature. I told DH that's on my list of dream cars

. We currently have a Kia Forte which is fine for just the 3 of us, but I'm already nervous of having one more in there.

This post is timely. I said I would never ever ever drive a minivan but my smallish SUV is not cutting it with one baby and I have another on the way... I was online looking at minivans tonight. My husband may divorce me if I go through with it though! Lol

We love having a minivan! We've only had two kids for 5 days and already have been really happy about the extra space! We went somewhere with both kids and our DCP and it was great to all fit comfortably. Plus I can easily sit in the back with them when necessary.

Eh- we have only 1 and we have a van.

And we have good friends who are OAD too and have a van. We do a lot of car trips, though. Camping, beach, etc, where the van comes in REALLY handy. And we can easily take friends or family w/ us when we go out.

DH is actually on board. This is a significant improvement from a year ago when he said, I will never drive it.

I am lusting after the Odyssey too. I drive an Accord, which I love, but between a long-legged teenage boy (my SS) and DS, we're out of room. We will need a larger vehicle when we have a second child, and DH actually wants a minivan.

I just got a Sienna and I am in love with it. Its comfy, quiet, drives amazing, decent on gas, power doors, power liftgate, leather, DVD, sunroof- it's amazing. The kids love it too.
