Vehicle for two car seats?
Mamas of multiple children- which cars/SUVs are you driving to fit in multiple car seats? Currently looking into the Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tuscan, or the Honda CRV. Hell bent on no mini van, huge vehicles stress me out!! We just got a diono rainier and plan on also having a britax frontier in the future in it (too). (God willing for a 2nd babe).
Wow ladies thanks so much for your responses!!! Definitely broadened my initial car research!!! Thanks!!
I love my Honda Pilot they really aren't as big as people make them seem because it has third row seat my kids all three fit perfectly in one row and if I have extra bodies they aren't cramped either honestly the hubby me my brother and sister in law the 3 kids all went to the Indy zoo his brother and sister are not small either and they sat comfortably next to the evenflo car seat I have while the 2 older girls say in the back no complaints we even use it for his job transferring furniture from one store to his store as he's the general manager at American freight here and we don't even have to move the second row because the third folds down I love it oh and both my older girls are in boosters
I have a 13 rogue, and fit a Britax pioneer seat, and a Britax advocate 70 G3 with a small space between them both to fit an older child not in a car seat there. Had an explorer with a 3rd row before when I babysat a few extra toddlers and had three Britax convertible seats in it.
We are looking at many , I would like to have a fourth so need a third row of seating. So far our top contenders are the GMC Acadia , Ford Explorer and the Honda pilot.
It's a huge purchase and I'm stalking on it bc I'm partial to my Liberty bc it's something I bought and paid for and not my husband (before we got married) and I don't wanna let it go but it's old and doesn't fit our family anymore ?
Wicketamer- noted, thank you! I've rented nissons before and liked them!
Crharmer- 3 rows scare me, they seem huge but hubby was initially interested in that!
Keaqueen- my first car was a Camry and I loved it so that's good news!! Will look into it, thanks!!
Jessthemom- thanks!! The Honda Pilot was on our original list!! Will look at it again!
Have you looked into a Santa Fe? More room. But if you plan on having more children I would look into a mini van. I was hell bent against it until we needed something larger and test drove them. We ended up going with the Dodge Grand Caravan and it drives just like their SUVs. I love it.
I have 4 kids so this might not apply, but we wanted a Toyota Highlander but it felt so cramped still. We ended up getting a Toyota Sienna when we were having our 3rd and I've absolutely loved it. No regrets whatsoever. It feels and drives like a Camry but has plenty of room! Love it.
People are mini van haters until they drive a Sienna I swear!
I would say you can fit two car seats in mostly any vehicle. My husband has a two door bmw and we can fit two in the back of it. I have a Honda Pilot and fit three across in it. I am also scared to drive big vehicles and always drive cars until I had my third in December, but find the pilot super easy to drive.
We bought a suburban with the last baby, he made 4. We still don't have enough room when traveling ?
