Enough room *where*?Minivan--I need AWD/4WD and the only one with that option is the Sienna, which doesn't have enough room.
P1ally said:You're selling the X5? :duck: I'm just kidding! Don't kill me!
I'm not in love with the suburban either. My parents have a new yukon denali xl whatever, and it was really difficult to get my FFer out of the 3rd row. (Am I the only one that has trouble getting back there? I'm only 5'6 ) But honestly, if it's not a daily driver, can hold everyone you want, AND can lug all your cargo? You can't lose.
Yes, yes, they will. BTDT...with 678587 carseats/boosters, soccer equipment (including goals because my kid is a goalie), camp chairs, 3727 strollers, a dog crate...I'm going car shopping this weekend and I plan on taking our bags of gear with us to see how they fit. The salesmen are going to love us
Bumping this up because we've made some progress in our car shopping (no small thanks to Starlight, who helped me check out vehicles in the snow the other day ).
We have ruled out the Suburban and Yukon XL. That 3rd row with the crack in the middle is just not going to work.

Ya, that won't work You *might* be able to do 2 coccorros and a RF radian (it fits if you leave the seat tumbled), but I am guessing that is not the combination you need. I had an 98 for my first 'burb and I could prob have gotten almost anything in that third row (and it had a lot more leg room), I hate that they keep making it smallerI want to be able to get three seats back there, which isn't going to work with the Burb. I plan on three in the 3rd row, 2 in the 2nd row with one seat left empty to tumble for access to the 3rd row.

I have one not in a seat, so it works well to have her sit in that tumbled-able seat in the 2nd row
I have a EL. I had a Burb prior ( couldn't do 3 across the 3rd row either) and a sienna before that. I got the EL specially to last a while with my 4 kids and the 1-2 extra kids I seem to pick up here and there. The
Price tag was hefty, I agree. I have had it 2 years now and I am very happy with my decision. I dream of something bigger just for even more room. We do a lot of sports ( I think I remember a post where your family does as well?) and it is very common that I run out of space everywhere in the EL. We also have to have AWD/4wd since we live very remotely in a snowy mountain state.
Yeah Suburbans/Yukons are not a good choice if you want 3 across the third row as an everyday thing. I have gotten three across with a bunch of different seats but it isn't fun and I have always had boosters in the mix.
