+1 for the Sienna. I never thought we would have a minivan. It is the best.

The 2020 explorer will be a redesign but just get bucket seats. 19's are really nice. Test drove one a few weeks ago.

We got a VW Atlas which has a roomy third row. The second row bench seating pivots forward for easy access to the third row (even with car seats or booster seats in place).

We love it. Fits 2 kids in the third row and 3 in the second row. Lots of cargo space too.

Also, it's reasonably priced.

Confused. Why does the fact that your neighbor does a lot of carpooling = you often have 3-4 kids in your car instead of just your own 2? I would say a full sized SUV with captions chairs in the second row is ideal IMO


You are indeed confused. Her answer is literally in the first sentence.


NP. Then just say I do a lot of carpooling. Bringing up your neighbor is information that adds nothing to your question.


Op here- I said neighborhood not neighbor. Not sure the issue is with saying I only have two kids but tend to have more in the car due to lots of neighborhood carpooling. We dont have a school bus in our neighborhood.

I don’t understand — bench seats fold down for access to 3rd row.

Are they all in car seats (which seems strange to carpool with that many kids that young).

No OP but their post makes sense to me. They do a lot of carpooling so need space for the occasional extra kids.
