Short and sweet version:
Will a 3-row SUV work for 3 adults and 2 kids RF?
Safety of RF seat in 3rd row is important as my 37", 30lb 33mo is still RF.
Is a minivan going to work better?
Long story...
So my FIL just moved in and we need to easily seat 3 adults in a non-3rd row seat, but be able to get my 6mo and nearly-3 yo (both still rear-facing in Britax Marathons right now) RF, and in and out fairly easily - and have it be SAFE.
We are spoiled right now with our Prius gas mileage, and DH would prefer something like the Highlander Hybrid. I am worried about getting kids in and out, and whether it's safe in the 3rd row for our 37", 30lb 33mo.
So... would something like the Highlander work for us? Is the Pilot a better option? When in the world is a Hybrid Minivan coming out? If not a hybrid minivan, which minivans?
I'm going to start my research, but knew coming here would be a helpful start.
The car would want to optimally be versatile enough for a few years, when we probably won't have FIL still with us, and we would most likely have a third child!
Thanks
