We are in the market for another vehicle. We currently drive a Ford F-150, which we love . . . lots of space, 3 LATCH spots, 3 top tethers, etc. But with #4 arriving, we need something that will fit 4 car seats. We've been looking at Yukons, Suburbans and Excursions between 2000 and 2005 (our budget is $15000 or less). Now I'm not sure those are the best options.
1) Only one or two that we looked at had LATCH, and then it was only in two positions. (Do any of these cars have 3 or 4 LATCH positions? If not, are there any vehicles that do? Does it even matter?)
2) Not sure if they had top tether.
Any suggestions on what would be our best bet? DH likes the Excursion because of the size, but I was put-off by the fact that the 2003 model we looked at had no LATCH.
These are the carseats we have:
Graco Nautilus - FF - DS1 4.5, 38lb, 42 inches
Graco Nautillus - FF - DD 3, 30lb, 38 inches
Safety 1st (can't remember the model) - RF - DS2 19mo, 23lb, 32 inches
Graco Snugride 35 - RF - for #4
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated! My head is swimming!:dizzy:
