I think Volvo is crap. Buy an outback.

+1 this seems like a big difference.

We have the crib and wouldn’t consider a Volvo because of the repair costs.

Agree, Volvo's are nice cars, but because of a) higher initial purchase price, b) higher insurance premium c) less reliable (than a Honda) d) higher cost per repair, e) higher depreciation and f) perhaps using premium fuel (if its turbocharged), the lifetime cost of owning the Volvo from acquisition to disposition may be much much higher than owning a Honda. Add to that the cost of taking time off from work to drop/pick up at dealership during repairs etc.

I think Honda makes some of the most uncomfortable seats out there, so I wouldn't do the crv if it were for commuting or longer, vacation drives.

Make your own baby food or have your nanny do it.

We actually did make our own baby food.

Making my own car is a bit more of a Challenge.

There are youtube videos for everything including building cars.

The xc60 is much more fun to drive (and is safer) than the CRV - but the price difference is real.

Get the one that makes you happy and if you can afford the Volvo and want it, go for it. The CRV is very small and I wouldn't consider it because of size, especially with kids.
