I always park by the cart corrals too, that way I don't have to feel like a jerk leaving it stuck up on a curb because I don't want to leave my kids alone in the car to run the cart half way across the parking lot. <br /><br />My husband has a Honda CRV. I didn't have a car so after our daughter was born that's what we drove. I really like it, it's getting old but still runs well. There's just enough room in the back you can pack a lot in there (We've driven from California to Texas and Texas to Maryland with all our stuff back there, this was before the baby). But when I found out I was pregnant with #2 I knew we needed another car. <br />We went to the dealer and got a used Honda Odyssey, it's a 2006 but it's the nicest version of the Odyssey, with the DVD player (although my kids are still facing backward so we haven't had the benefit of that yet), power doors and windows, tons of space.. it's pretty fabulous! It drives like a car too, not like a bus. So when you finally do decide to make the switch I really recommend it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532142167073471548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229782282812067745.post-8819344602901193112012-02-04T20:59:46.965-06:002012-02-04T20:59:46.965-06:00OMG!

That does sound awful...I can barely squeeze two in there - I have them right next to each other so I can sit back there next to the baby if I need to, but it's a tight squeeze. What did you get? Is it easy to get the kids in and out of? I am interested in convenient minivan alternatives!!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369403354976855749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229782282812067745.post-33722928300075662302012-02-04T07:17:40.673-06:002012-02-04T07:17:40.673-06:00I had my 3 children side by side in a sedan!

I hate minivans so we got a (used) crossover w/captain chairs and a third row (after suffering through for a few months.) Still miss my car and we didn't want another car pymt but it was impractical. Especially since the two RF seats meant I was 4" from the steering wheel/air bag. No sliding doors though & not as much cargo space as a van but it's a vast improvement!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527550535195162631noreply@blogger.com
