When I had my '07 Durango, I could have easily fit 3 across in the back. We had second row buckets, so it was easy to get into the back seat. When I had company with us, I put my daughter's Frontier back there and left the infant seat in the one second row bucket. Keep in mind, this is a vehicle that would need a retrofit for top tethers as there is only 1 in the back row.
As for the stroller, I'm not sure how flat or long the triple decker folds. I could fit my Quinny Freestyle 4 easily behind the third row with it up, but my Chaperone...ya, not a chance.
For cargo space, I'd look at the Chev/GMC SUV's listed. We drove a Suburban XT when on vacation in NS with 7 passengers plus a driver. The passenger side second row seat was the one that flipped to access the third row and it was easy to get my neices into their LBB and my daughter into her Roundabout before we moved it to the 2nd row so Auntie could attend to her and her cousin (RF'ing in a Triumph). The XT had the longer cargo area and we were able to put all of our luggage (yes, with superb packing that was 8 people's luggage including 2 babies!) and fit everyone. That would be my vote with 3 babies!
If length is a concern, there are always driving courses to help a person learn their vehicle and how to park, ect. If in AB, I highly recommend the CTEC Driving School just outside of Edmonton. These guys are awesome and teach the RCMP how to drive. I took the course while working in the oilpatch as my employer had all company drivers take it every 3 years. Its always nice to sharpen up your skills and like carseats, driving techniques change and advance as well And, you get a certificate to use to subtract 3 demerits from your licence, should you ever need it
