[quote=Anonymous][quote=roamet]My husband and I are expecting twins in October.  We live, work and socialize in downtown DC.  We both presently drive small cars (mini coopers).  We also have two small dogs (under 15 pounds each) and will have a full-time nanny.  Neither of us have ever owned large cars.  We are stumped on what car to get.  For me, even a Mini Countryman seems huge.  We want to get something for just the first 2-3 years (will lease).

- Are there cars with large enough back seats for two car seats and a small adult to sit comfortably  - Outback, Forrester, CRV, anything else?  Do any of them work with that configuration?
- If so, what car seats should we get (my husband is 6' 4" so he will need to push his seat all the way back
- If we have to go to 3 row SUV, what do people like that is easily maneuverable in downtown DC?
- Can we get any with a two row car for the first two years?

Thank you all in advance for your input.[/quote]

Check the carseatlady website , she compares various car models (safety/comfort spaciousness etc) / car seats. I got my car based on research from her website.

And I know you didn’t ask about this but I personally found it useful, https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/dc-car-seat-fitting-stations you can get your car seats fitted/checked. There was a specific gentleman who was very highly recommended but unfortunately I can’t remember his name.
