need to replace car

Hi--I'm new here, and looking for some advice.

We are a family of 3--6'4" husband, 5'3" wife and 6-week old son. We currently have a Dodge Caliber that we barely all fit in--son is in a Graco Snugride, and the only way for all 3 of us to fit in the car is for husband to drive, son is in middle of backseat, and I am squished into the dashboard because the front passenger seat must be scooted nearly all the way up! Thank goodness I have short legs!

I plan to move son to a convertible seat late spring. I hope to keep him rear facing as long as possible.

So we want to replace the car. The car needs to cost less than $15K. Great gas mileage would be wonderful, too.

Cars we're considering:
Honda Accord
Toyota Camry
Mazda6

Would also be interested in small SUVs.

Any suggestion for an inexpensive car that would fit a RF convertible seat and still leave plenty of leg room for adults?
