My neighbor who has 4 kids at our elementary school is out of town this week and I've been taking her kids to school in the morning along with my two younger ones no problem.

The other great thing about minivans is that you can move the seats in the middle row--pretty sure they're all fixed in an SUV. DH drove a Yukon XL for a while and although it's huge, there wasn't much leg room in either the second or third row and it was difficult to climb in and out of the back.

It does take a while to get a feel for the dimensions for parking.


Sadly we measured out space. Sienna and Odyyseey are 200 inches and bigger than we can fit.

Bigger than highlander. 199 in vs 191 length.

Looks like discovery, rogue, outlander, highlander increasing length

Curious about discovery width since seems kind of wide to park in parking garage.
