What's new

New Vehicle ...

I have a 7 seater Corolla Verso and I just adore it. Even though it's mostly DD and I driving around in it. Now I have the thought of transporting grandbabies in it to keep me going. :byay

I have a 2011 Sienna and I cannot recommend it highly enough! One thing I would really look at/for when getting to a bigger capacity vehicle is access to the the third seat and hopefully moveable second row of seats! I had to rent a van while my Sienna was getting a booty lift (minor hit and run to the back bumper) and I was having so much trouble with the 2016 Town & Country because the second row seats don't move. The law here in California is that babies have to be backward until they are 2 and the Pediatricians all recommend longer if possible. So, my son who is almost 4 is rear facing, as is my grandson at 1.5... This means I have a car seat behind the passenger and the driver, but it wouldn't fit in the T&C without moving the driver seat forward, which means you either drive super uncomfortably OR you put the baby in the 3rd row. I ended up folding one of the third row seats down, and putting the baby in through the trunk, which is a hassle...

SO, if you can, bring a rear facing carseat to see how that works (they can be quite large!) or at the least remember that your grandbabies getting in and out is going to be a factor and climbing in through the trunk is not always a fun way to go!!

We have a 10+year old Dodge Grand Caravan with Stow N Go Seats, and it is still going strong except for some body rust. BUT the way the seats all go down make it so worth it to get! You know we have gone to Home Depot over the years and you can fit full size sheets of plywood and drywall in the back!!! Go camping and need extra sleeping? Air Mattress fits awesome! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Or the two captain seats behind the driver/passenger seats have in floor storage which is great for road trips! It is the spot that those seats fold into.

Days we go to the metro park we put all the seats into the floor and have room for our two bikes and all the picnic items we need to bring.

I bought my couch from a re-sale store and put the seats into the floor and slid the couch in and brought it home!
