@boaduw Awesome thanks, I’ll look into it!

@fratagen2 I just saw a traverse on my way home today and was thinking I’d need to add it to my list! Thankfully most of my commute is highway, I have a very convenient exit to my work. Yeah, I spend 2.5 hours a day in my car, I want to somewhat like it. I realize a minivan may be a very...

@jan001 Sounds great, I’ll look into it!

@frankcostarica Per a mazda website (Riley mazda), the front and second row space is basically the same between the CX-5 and CX-9, the different is that the CX-9 has a third row. So unfortunately upgrading would not help.

@katrina2017 Yep, we have a large dog as well! And I love camping trips so all that gear. I hadn’t considered Volvo yet, thanks! My budget is pretty open, I don’t want to be needlessly pricey but want as many boxes checked as possible. Unfortunately my husband has to have a truck for his...

@katrina2017 You’re right. I thought it was an easier ask until I actually wrote down my list. I’ll probably have to give up on one or two items. Thanks for your suggestions, I’ll look into them. I did look at 4Runners already but the gas mileage is disappointing, I commute over 100 miles a day...

@whitehorse Good to know, thanks!

@robinvanpersie Will do! Volkswagen hadn’t been on my radar so I’m glad I asked!

@james_g I’ve heard it mentioned a couple of times so I’ll definitely look into it!

@reborndestiny That does sound luxurious! Unfortunately I commute over 100 miles a day and gas is over $5/gallon. 😫 And I’m pretty petite and don’t enjoy driving my husband’s big truck.

@jiggypiggy Thanks for the suggestion! We actually used those infant seats and were just able to make it work! My husband was uncomfortable but not suffering. But the rear-facing convertible seats are too big since they’re taller. I actually tried to find the smallest European ones I could, but...

@mathias36 Hmmm, thanks for your note. You’re taller but my husband and I split driving responsibilities so he needs to be comfortable in either seat and our twins are still in rear-facing. I’ll check out the Ascent as well.

@asvin Noted, thanks!

@asvin Okay, going to Carmax with a measuring tape sounds brilliant! Thanks for the encouragement to get a third row. We definitely do not want more than our two kiddos, but we live close to a lot of family so I’m sure there’ll be a time we’d want more seating. My husband is dying for the new...

@subashsingh My husband was hinting about a minivan so I said he could get one and I’d drive his truck. After an immediate “hell no” he dropped the minivan topic. 😂😂

@barnabas17 Lol I know I’m being stubborn. My mom had one when I was little and I had the privilege of driving an old minivan with a cracked windshield as a teen so I always promised myself I’d never drive one again! My sister has one now and assured me it’s very practical and nice.

Morning all! Another car recommendation question! Currently I drive a Mazda CX-5 and we have Nuna rava car seats for our twins. Unfortunately there is not enough space for my 6’4” husband. We’ve been trying to make it work, but he ends up in pain from his knees being pressed into the dash and...
