Dh has decided we need a bigger vehicle for trips. I drive a 2009 Saturn Outlook. I love my outlook but with 3 adult size children and one average 8 year old most road trips are filled with arguments over space.
We drive a lot and I also do home daycare. I had the 11 Sienna as a rental while my Outlook was in for it's 3rd round of service(another story) and we drove it to and from Virginia to visit family. 4 hours each way and there was NO fighting. I didn't realize until reading here that the 8th seat can't be used with a carseat. That really messes up my plans for a Sienna. I didn't know I couldn't use it and installed my daycare child's seat on it. Great install too. Poor planning on Toyota's part. They should have left the middle row seating alone.
Today we test drove the Sienna, Odyssey, Routan and Grand Caravan. Last two are a no go for me. Odyssey wasn't my first pick but I think I need to test drive it without the sales guy chatting away in my ear. I do need to bring all 4 kids to try it out.
Just frustrated after a long day of car shopping.
