This may come as a no brainer to btdt large families or techs but just wondering what people drive that would accomidate 5 kids in seats. My oldest (7.5) is just outgrown the nauti in height and weight (at the same time) if that gives a mental pic of his size. And then we will have a new baby come Decemberish. We have a 2000 quest currently but it is sounding from my (endless) poking around here that there may be no such thing as a three across that vehicle. I am willing to put my 7.5 and soon to be 6 yo in boosters and then 38 and 35 pounders would be forward facing in whatever. I know it is often said it is cheaper to buy new child seats than vehicle but it almost sounds like we will need to do BOTH... and the very last thing I want is after researching car safety and such is finding out that the vehicle we really really want is not 3 across capatible either and it is going to be hard to try out scenerios at a dealership without all seat combos in hand so I almost have to know ahead of time what should or will fit.
So, just in case we need to go the new (to us) vehicle route what vehicles fit 5 child seats total? 2 boosters 2 hwh and a rear facer eventual turned forward facer... Preferably in a 7/8 passenger vehicle.
We currently have 2 nauti, 2 EFTA, a compass booster and a flexloc to work with (and a Regent but frankly not holding my breath on getting that in an equation) so vehicles that take as many as those as possible would be good so we have less seats to have to buy.
Thanks
