Wife and I are expecting our first child(ren), three in fact! We do have any other kids so am kind of overwhelmed with researching vehicles, car seats, seating positions, etc.
Here is what I am leaning towards, any pros/cons/critiques/suggestions are welcome:
For vehicle, a 2011-2014 Odyssey or Sienna, 8 passenger. Torn because Odyssey seems to get better quality/performance ratings, but Sienna has better reliability ratings.
For seating positions, I am leaning towards 3 in the 2nd row (for accessibility from sliding doors). I have also considered 3 3rd row or 1 in 2nd+2 in 3rd (for both arrangements, also removing 1 seat in 2nd row to increase 3rd row accessibility).
For car seats, still very up in the air. Trying to decide if I should pick the car seat and then seating positions to fit, or other way around. Most interested in KeyFit 30, onBoard 35 Air, or Graco SnugRide 35.
TIA for any help or insight you can share.
