Question Shopping for vehicle - need to fit 5 kids

Hey guys...we are in the market of possibly buying a minivan or something else that I can fit 5 kids in. I do childcare and would like to get out of the house a few times a month.

My kids are 2.5 and 5.5. We are getting a radian R120 soon and the other carseat is unknown at the moment because my husband has the car, but it's an big Evenflo (possibly a Triumph?).

Well anyways, I watch a 9 month old who uses a baby trend flex loc...and in a little over a week, I will have another 4 month old and 2.5 year old starting...unknown car seats.

So with a budget of like $4-5k...what are my options? We are looking at Mazda MPVs, but noticed the back seats are narrow. Honda Odyssey's seem to be outside of our price range.

If we got an MPV, how do you get 3 across in the back? What carseats work? We could possibly get another Radian R120 to replace the Evenflo seat.

Thanks everyone. The forum is so big that it's hard to track down answers. Feel free to post links to related threads :)

What part of the country are you in? That might help in figuring out what's available in your budget range ...
