I have a small 5 year old still in his frontier and am due with twins this spring. So we are minivan shopping.
We have narrowed it down to the 08/09 Nissan quest or the 09/11 Kia Sedona.
Basically our needs are
We don't want a dodge or chrysler. We eliminated the sienna b/c neither of us really like Toyota very much (no particular reason... we just don't want one). The Ody's that would be in our price range have seen many transmission complaints. We don't like the body style on the newer generations of the quest.
So here are the reasons we've narrowed it down to these two makes/models: they meet our "needs" criteria, we have read many positive reviews on these options (critics and consumer), DH likes the Quest in those years b/c of the sunroof, I like the Sedona b/c of the split bench in the 3rd row.
I'm not going to buy a car just because it has a sunroof, but I'm not going to turn down a car I like just because it doesn't have a split bench.
What do you think? How do these vehicles compare to each other based on ease of car seat use?

Basically our needs are
- the ability to fit 3 car seats
- sliding doors on both sides
- preferably power doors
- captain's chairs in the middle row
- decent mileage for 15K or less
