I drive a Toyota Van.
AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is what we did to make it even easier was, we took one of the middle captin seats out in the middle.
So we have a big space in the middle to put stuff and get at the kids in the back easier..then the new born in the other middle captin seat. works great for us we love it.. plus in the back there is tons of room for storage space.
I would say your best bet would be to check out fuel efficient vans or SUVS. Any car would be way to cramped with 3 kids in carseats plus all their gear!
oh, we would never handle a car, we have had an SUV since just one baby... but i find some of the 7 passenger are hard to use seat 6-7... well we made a list of 6 options and are going to bring them all home for one night each so we can put our seats in and test drive them for the day... Thanks!
I LOVE my Chrysler Town & Country. it has the Stow 'n Go Seats that fold into the floor, a tailgating bench in back, adjustable foot pedals, so even short drivers can reach comfortably (me!),flip-out cell phone holder, tissue compartment and grocery bag hooks. AND its not too bad on gas either.
I suggest looking into the Mazda 5. It's smaller than a van, and has the gas mileage of a car, but it seats six, and 2 of the back seats are the bucket seats, so you could definitely fit 3 car seats/booster seats. Check it out - we love ours!
I agree with the Mazda 5. we bought ours a year ago and its great. We have three children, one in a booster the other in a regular carseat and infant seat. They all fit well and the last row of seats split and you can always have one folded down for your stroller, grogeries etc. Good luck!!
We have 3 kids all under 2.5 yrs( all forward-facing harnessed).
We currently drive a 2007 Toyota Corolla SE Sedan, 5spd- (we are are trying to get someone to take-over our lease so we can get an automatic-i can't drive 5spd).
We have 2 Radian Seats and a Safety 1st Intera. They are all very narrow and fit the kids quite comfortably. Its easy to reach to get them in/out and buckled up. Its also easy to reach them from the front passenger to pass out crackers, drinks, etc... The trunk is also quite large. It fits a triple or double stroller, with lots of room left over for groceries and such. It is also pretty easy on gas( approx. $50/full tank).
We did have a Toyota Sienna before this but it was hard on gas and it was a pain to get them buckled in because i had to get right inside the vehicle to do it and i couldn't reach them when we were driving, so we would have to stop to had out stuff to them, ugh.
Anyway, i guess i really like our car and wish it was an auto matic so we wouldn't have to sell it.
If your interested in our car my email is Rebeccacunningham@gmail.com
Good luck to you!
