Plus I doubt that door is water-proof

Back seat is so narrow that the front seat has to be almost all the way forward to get the bucket style car seat in. Makes for a cramped passenger.

Oh and I love a Mazda 5. Don't think hubby would go for one though.

My bro, wife, and their 1 yr old had a Tahoe that was nice when they went out of town. So much crap to bring just for one child. Jeeeez. They traded it in for something smaller and got the Cadillac Crossover. Super cool vehicle. It is "cramped" compared to the Hoe. Also the rear door area is like a hatch back. Not a lot of space.

When people start spitting out kids, they suddenly "can't fit the baby in the back seat". My buddy just called me on the same thing and I told him to get a full size wagon.

Get a Caprice wagon. lol Preferably of the late 80s vintage with the 4.3L FI engine.

Nigga gas is 3.60 a gallon here.

If I was to get a Minivan, I'd def. go with the Grand Caravan. I rented one of these and def. the most fun I've ever had in a minivan. Based on an older Mercedes platform, the thing drives as close to a german car as it gets in the minivan dept.

Any late '80s car that has been driven in Canada is likely a loose collection of rust, at this point

I looked at a Toyota mini van today as well as the Venza.. Kinda in love with the Venza. Also looked at the Mazda 5 which is nice but seems a bit smallish when you sit in the back seat as an adult. Venza + AWD = about 36K... ouchie

an new sienna, i like the looks, better then the new ody, but it drives squisher then an ody. i think sienna as great for senior citizens......my M-I-L has had 2 xle limited, no kids others the ours. and my old boss has a new sienna, '10 version, no kids.....

and if i could get rear TV w. duel screens, wish i had that.

do you put the baby seat in the venza?

you can buy an '09 ody touring, top of the line w/ everything, nav + RES for that much if not less.

power doors are a godsend. when your walking out w/ kid and diaperbag in tow.......press the button..........boom doors open, drop in kid. easy peasy.

who gives a crap what others think........your a mom.
