[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get away with a two-row Subaru Outback. It has a very wide 2nd row.

But if you think you will have grandparents, an au pair, etc fairly frequently, you'll want the 3rd row.

That said, mid-size SUVs with pop-up 3rd row are very difficult to get in and out. For example, no way in hell an elderly grandparent can crawl into the 3rd row in a Sorrento, Honda Pilot, or CX-9. It's too tight. Also, when you're using the 3rd row, your trunk storage capacity shrinks big time. So the pop-up 3rd rows are really not that great for roadtrips, in my experience.[/quote]

If you don’t really need it save the extra money and stick with the 2nd row. You have two kids, don’t get n extra row for “other people”. They can figure it out. Or have your husband drive the grandparents. Since you said they live out of state. Don’t buy for the what if’s. Buy for What you currently need [/quote]

+1. The expense of a larger car isn’t worth it for occasionally shuttling grandparents around; you could always take two cars to dinner when they are in town. [/quote]
