I currently have a 2000 Camry which works great with one child (21mo). I am now expecting #2 and we have decided to move forward with purchasing a minivan. We are trying to decide between a used '06 Odyssey EX with 28,000 miles or a used '06 T & C Touring (w/side airbags) with under 20,000 miles. My 21mo is in a Britax Boulevard and we will reuse our Graco Snugride for the new baby. The main differences between the vehicles are as follows: The T & C comes with power liftgate and has the stow n go fold flat for both rows, the honda has the removable middle seat in the second row and allows for the two seats to be next to each other. I am so so conflicted between these two and have read much to much information that I am about to the point of not being to make a decision. For SOME reason I keep coming back to the Honda. I don't know if it's just a popularity issue or if its a better vehicle. My parents had a Dodge Grand Caravan (basically the same vehicle as the T & C) in the past and had NO issues with it. I am worried about the positioning of the children with the seats - is it safe to put them in the captains chairs or will they have to go to the very back row?? The T & C offers more luxury perks such as the power liftgate and stow n go......as a stay at home mom I keep coming back to this vehicle because of the monetary differences. As far as the ride goes, the T & C was a bit quieter and has a larger engine (3.8 vs 3.5) than the Honda. HELP!!!!
