Hi, I am in need to trade in my ageing BMW X5 for another Vehicle which can be my daily commute vehicle, while also being able to haul my family and visiting grandparents.
I have a 2 yr old in a FF britax marathon, and a 1 month old in a RF Graco. My options seem to be to either take 2 cars everytime we all need to go out together, or buy a three row SUV which can work with one of the following configs.
1. Stick my 2 year old daughter in the third row with my son in the middle seat of 2nd row.
2. Have my daughter and son side by side in the back, leaving one seat free to slide to access the third row for one of the grandparents to get in.
Would either of this work well? In option 1 I am afraid my daughter will have very little room and might refuse to sit there as she grows. The FF britax is pretty bulky and there is still a long time before she will graduate to a booster seat.
In option 2, I am not sure if with a FF and RF car seat installed, I will be able to freely slide the third seat for accessing the third row.
Any ideas/suggestions? Oh and I would rather poke my eyes out with a fork than trade in my BMW X5 for a minivan, and my wife's chevy volt still has 1.5 years on its lease.
