Feeling very conflicted lately. DH is scheduled to get snipped soon because we think we have to be done at two children, but we are both having major, major doubt recently if we should really go through with it. We cannot afford to get larger vehicles to accommodate 3 children and their carseats, plus I don't WANT to drive a van or an SUV. I like my small, compact or midsized cars and their mpg. I think I could fit 3 radians across our two cars: Chevy Cavalier and a Kia Rio, but I just don't see how that's practical. Seems so crowded, and would be difficult to buckle the middle child?
Right now I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old, both rear facing. If we don't have another child for several years or more, both my boys could possibly be forward facing before we have another child..
Anyone here have three children and not have a large vehicle? How do you manage it? Plus, I'm worried about the space as they grow. I'm imagining a 12yo, a 9.5 year old, and a 6 or 7 year old all sandwiched into the backseat of a car during a long trip beating each other up with elbow jabs and driving me nuts with the fighting. LOL
