Jennifer do mind if I ask how much it cost you?
I drive a Ford Windstar and I love it for 4 kids. Now that we'll have 5, its annoying. 5 car seats is a challenge. When my two oldest don't need boosters anymore it'll be fine. But with 2 FF, one RF and 2 boosters, it is a challenge.
Ford Excursion Seats 8, 6 of those can be in car seats with just about any seat working in just about any position.
I hate that there are only 4 head rests, which means I'm only comfortable with 4 people in the car that are NOT in car seats. It is rarely an issue, but as we get older our friends kids get older so no going places with another couple and their older kids in one vehicle. The gas mileage sucks, 8-9 with the trailer and 10-16 without.
I want a Ford Fiesta when they come out next month. If I can actually have 2 kids in booster or radians and a teen in the back seat. DH wants the new Ford F350 diesel. We went and looked at it this past week. Seats 6 with all having headrest and shoulder belts. The really crappy part is that the is ZERO lower anchors because of the weight. With the kids getting older and moving to booster I want them latched in, which you need lower anchors to do.
In my dream world they will re-release the Excursion with all head rest and shoulder belts, throw in LATCH and we will buy a diesel. Don't see that happening so I'm not sure what we will do. We need to be able to tow more than we can right now.
Did y'all go to the Rodeo this year? They had a company there (tax shelter, ranch managing type company of some sort) that had a F-350 that they modified to have 6 doors all together. So it was drivers row, back seat row and then a third row with its own door. It was pretty cool!
Pm me, and I will give you the details of how we got it
But, I have to go and get back to the family now
