I currently have a 97 suburban so use to loads of space, but it's on it's last legs and the mileage is killing me. I'm a single mom so I'm looking for something newer and reliable or under warranty (but not brand new) as I just do not have time for maintenance.
I have 3 kids - 8 years(49" & 58lbs), 6 years(47.5" & 56 lbs) and 2 years (34.5" & around 30lbs). Currently I have 2 graco nautilus' and 1 Evenflo Symphony 65 e3 (FF due to sensory issues). I'd like to keep them in 5 point harnesses as long as possible and safe, though I realize my oldest is getting close to outgrowing it.
I was originally interested in the Ford Edge, but i'm reading it's pretty hard to get three across. I would be willing to buy new carseats to fit in the Edge if it were doable so i'm also open to suggestions for carseats. I'm now looking at the Flex as the space and mileage appeal to me.
I'm open to sedan (if I can find 3 carseats that work for my kids), crossover, and SUV suggestions but have ruled out a minivan already. What's important to me is good mileage, decent space (I have a BOB jogging stroller that goes everywhere with us) and safety.
Thanks for the help!
