We have a new baby on the way any day now and so we will have three car seats. Two forward facing radian and then we will have the infant car seat - graco sung ride. My husband really wants a minivan - not sure why. He is looking at the Dodge Grand Caravan, but it has bucket seats for the second row and I think it will be a pain to have to crawl into the third row to buckle by daughter into her seat. I am wondering if the Acadia with the bench seat for the second row would accomodate all three car seats. I realize that then we would not be able to access the thrid row but I plan on just having that folded down for storage for the time being anyway.
Secondly, if we were to get the Grand Caravan - what would be the best way arrange the car seats. I am thinking that the baby would be in the second row on the passanger side,(even though I would really like the baby in a middle spot), and I might like to put the two older kids (2 and 4) in the thrid row. Then take out the bucket behind the driver's seat so that I can easily access the thrid row without having to climb around and through the middle of the vehicle. What do other people do with a minvan? I really don't see how this is convient. But my husband seems to think it will be no big deal.
