[quote=Anonymous]I'd go with 2 or 3 and see how it goes. With a lease you can try it out and see if you really need the bigger car and how often. Or with 3 you can set aside the money you'd be spending on a new car payment and just use Lyft or whatever when you actually need it.

If you decide you need it more often than you expect, then you've got some money set aside for the new car to help offset the insurance and maintenance costs. I'm totally with you in not wanting to buy a big car or pay for something I'm not really using, but it is possible you'll find you'll use it more than you think you will and options 2 or 3 give you the most flexibility for your lifestyle.

On the other hand you might find you end up driving more just because you can if you have another car and to me that would be the worst outcome. Lastly, don't underestimate how much space 3 carseats or boosters take up. Before I went car-less I had a Subaru outback that couldn't hold 3 across. My friend's forester barely held three and it was TIGHT.[/quote]
