We are expecting #3 in April and a new car is a must.
In April we will have a 3 year old (likely FF, but currently RF) in a Britax Advocate and a 1.5 year old RF in a Britax Advocate and a newborn in a yet to be determined car seat. We plan to have at least one more child, and will likely have 4 in car seats. We want this vehicle to be our family vehicle for 10 years
Our vehicle requirements are:
- Seats 4 in car seats (with 3 RF) (preferable at least 4 full LATCH systems)
- Decent gas mileage (although DH and I quibble on what decent means)
- cargo capacity for a double stroller and 2 suitcases and a playpen with 3rd row up
- Budget is pretty much anything as long as the vehicle meets our requirement list and I'm confident it will last 10 years.
To me, this list means an Odyssey is a no-brainer, but I cannot convince DH to get a minivan, so I'm looking for other options. He's agreed to test the Odyssey if I agree to look at SUV's, but I don't want to look at any that don't meet the rest of my requirements.
TIA
