Help with a minivan and kids.I am pregnant with twins and have 2 small children under 2. what kind of minivan?

Question

Does anyone have any suggestions. We need 4 car seats. Two infant and two britax car seats all to fit. Help.....

Answer 1

The Pontiac Montana is a good choice, great gas mileage the seats are removable and it has a lot of room.The Chryslers  wear out their transmissions  easy and are expensive to fix, the Fords are nightmares.Chevrolet also makes a version of the montana.

Answer 2

Well we have 4 boys 13, 13 (twins), 11 and 8 I drive a Kia Sedona and LOVE it. We have leather seats, the front seats are heated and have 5 settings. Automatic everything including the doors, even the back hatch. Plenty of room in the back for storage. Seats that fold into the floor. Cruise control, sunroof and DVD player. I love my minivan! To top it off, it was rated the safest minivan!

The middle section has two large bucket seats and you walk through the middle to get to the back. I love that because each child in the middle has their own seat. In the back is one seat accross with three seat belts and all three have a shoulder belt, even the middle seat. very roomy.

We have the Honda Odyssey and have 3 kids.  Just about everybody at the elementary school that is driving minivans has this van.  Its ranked at the top of the list, and was my husband's first pick.  It is roomy enought to get to the third row easily-even if you are a bigger person which I am.  There are a few Toyota Sienna's which we considered but couldn't find a used one with the amount of mileage and model year we were looking for.  To me that is a testament to people liking them a lot and keeping them by not trading them in.  Very few used Toyota Sienna's available.  Previously we had a dodge caravan, the interior room was very tight, I felt like a giant in a munchkin car.  I did see that this van is highly rated for those of short stature which I am not, I am 5'10" so I don't recommend this van.

Answer 4

I'm not sure about the minivan, but The Sunshine Kids Radian 80 car seat is perfect for your situation.  I am almost in the same boat.  I have a singleton, a set of twins and another baby on the way.  Right now I can easily fit three of the Sunshine Kids carseats in the back seat of my BMW 530i.  Of course, I will be getting a bigger car very soon...lol!  Anyway, this particular car seat will accommodate infants from 5 lbs. all the way up to 80 lbs.  It can be rear or forward facing and has a nice, narrow profile.

Hope this helps with your minivan choice....Good luck!!

Answer 5

I have 4 children and I drive a Chevy Venture. I absolutely love it! My husband tried to put me in a Toyota Sienna, I wouldn't hear of it!

Go around to all the dealerships and find the one that fits you!
