Tween really wants the in-car bucket seat and video screen, so I though van, but I worry it’ll feel like instant frump? Currently in a 2015 Honda Pilot though and really due for a change (yes, I know these run forever, but the seats are all smooshed and getting uncomfortable). Thank you for any thoughts!

I have 2 Alaskan Malamutes and we bought a van because it will be easier to load the dogs as they age.

The dogs, all of whom are pretty much guaranteed to develop hip dysplasia as they age, will appreciate a minivan versus the Suburban. Also, if you're old enough to have a teenage son you're old enough to not care if the other perimenopausal women at the soccer game think you're cool.
