[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea why you need a 2nd row to occasionally carry a third person around in the back. Our mid-size car was more than big enough for this on the half dozen times a year we needed to haul a third person in the back and we have never had any trouble parking our car on a DC Street. We are killing our planet because we've become a bunch of snowflakes who need to get a gas guzzling space hogging SUV or Minivan so our Mom doesn't have to on occasion squeeze into the back.[/quote] Because two infant or convertible car seats take up 2.5 spaces on a 3-seat bench...[/quote] This is correct. OP here. With 2 kids in a Rav4 there is no space for additional human. Kids will not be out of car seats for some time. [/quote] I don't understand this - even if you have Irish twins you'd only have two kids in an infant seat at the same time for maybe a year? An infant seat and a booster still leave plenty of room for an adult - or at least it did in our mid-size car 5 years ago. Crazy to buy an oversize car for something you so rarely need, if at all. But I get that most people don't give a $hit about the planet their kids are going to inherit. [/quote] I agree, this is crazy. I have absolutely sat between two convertible seats (holding a 1 year old and a 3 year old) in a Rav4. It was tight but doable. This just seems insane to buy an entirely new car for this- an extra person can take the metro or bus or Lyft is necessary.[/quote]
