We have four kids very close in age and only one of them can be in a booster seat. The booster has a back and is not very small though. We opted for one of the safe Britax seats.
Ideally we find something a little more attractive than a minivan, but with the same spaciousness if that even exists. We looked at the Yukon and the Suburban. Those are like tanks though and also not exactly budget friendly.
Please keep the suggestions coming if you know of any other vehicles that might be good for a large family.
If you have four in car seats you really need a Yukon or Suburban or Expedition as most 3rd row SUV's have very small back seats. Otherwise you can get much smaller car seats but if you get a bench vs. captain seats it will be hard to strap them all in. You can sometimes find them through the car rental sales at a better price, but not always. If you look at car max do ask for the vehicle history as most come from the car rental places so you might as well go there directly.
