Which is the better van?
2 kids: Britax CT and a rear facing Marathon with possibility of an infant seat or a Scenera.

Not sure which one I would prefer

The 5 is cute, but no way would I have three kids in one. I've had my Flex almost two months, and love it. I have one kid & routinely drive two others. Everyone has plenty of room & it's very easy to load everyone .

Well Flex isn't a van. It's more a car.. sort of a crossover SUV... sort of a wagon. Highly functional as car seats go. Takes me back to the 2nd gen Explorer which is also quite functional as car seats go. Are you looking at 2nd row bench or captains chairs?

Mazda 5 is just super cute and by the sounds of it quite functional as well. Do you need lots of cargo space?

You're in a frosty province. If there's an option to go AWD Flex I'd likely go that route, I think.

I love my flex! Roomy without seeming like a boat, haha. You'd have tons of room for a double stroller, especially if you fold the rear seats.

I drive an '07 Mazda5 and a Britax B Agile fits perfectly in the back. The B Agile double would fit too but not leave much, if any room for anything else. I have four kids all in car seats and personally I don't mind the lack of space, for me that's really the only draw back and all the pros of the vehicle outweigh that. We did buy a rooftop cargo carrier for travel and my shopping trips now require me to get a babysitter and DH and I to go alone.
