[quote=Anonymous]With a growing family, we're soon going to need a car that can transport 3 adults and 3 kids in car seats. Around town seems fairly easy, but the trick is that we'd like to move everyone roughly once a month to our weekend house and back, requiring luggage, etc.

We would really like to get a car like a Volvo XC90, Mercedes GLS, Honda Pilot, or VW Atlas. We'd get captains chairs for two car seats in the middle, and then a third car seat and adult in the rear. This is a great option for around town. But with the third row up, each lacks much storage space, and we worry about getting away for weekends. Does anyone regularly move a comparable family + stuff in a car like this? If so, does it give you enough room?

The alternatives, it seems, are larger trucks (Suburban/Escalade/??) or minivans. As to minivans, perhaps we'll get there kicking and screaming, but we really want to avoid the minivan if at all possible.

Has anyone been able to get something like an XC90 to work for a family of this size, or do we need to give in and something in the suburban/escalade/minivan? If we have to give in, what's the best option? Thank you in advance!
