[quote=Anonymous]OP, I commend you for your foresight and willingness to assist in your kids' social development.

Let me state for the record that I am the opposite.

I have a sedan and was not willing to trade it out for a minivan.  Thus, when we had a carpool situation, I could only take 1 child because I have two kids.  It limited the families that we could carpool with.  We did purchase extra car seats to accommodate other children.  But we were also able to use those car seats in our second car or family/friends that would come visit.  Point is, the extra car seats were helpful beyond just car pooling.

Now that my 2 kids are older, I can have one of my kids ride in the front seat and car pool with 2 friends in the back with my other kid.  Out of the two families that we carpool with, only 1 has a minivan and interestingly enough, they have 1 kid.

The last thing that I will leave you with is that you should see who your kids become friends with and those are the families that you should approach for car pooling.  If you car pool with families that your kids do not like, based on the criteria that each family would benefit from carpooling, it becomes a burdensome situation and defeats the purpose of helping your kids develop their social well being.

Blessings to you![/quote]
