in my car, that stroller took up the ENTIRE "trunk" space - I have more than enough room for a double stroller in here!
Before going to find a car I was back and forth between a Suburban or a minivan. Suburban has more space, van better gas mileage. So, we were really back and forth. I miss my Suburban, except the gas mileage and the fact that it is HUGE to drive and park! We looked at some options that were kind of between-size of the two. This is definently not what I expected to come home with!
We went in to the dealer with our list of MUST and wants. They had a Suburban and this that met my wish list completely. They had the same mileage (we bought used) and they were basically the same price. The Suburban had some carpet stains, a small hole in the back of the driver seat (in the leather) which would become a big hole with kids sitting back there and some other "minor" issues. It was loaded though. This had less "minor" issues, more bonuses and is supposed to be safer! It is shorter than the Suburban, but has more storage than the van has - so it is a good in-between vehicle!
The kids love it. The foot room (which was always a HUGE complaint in the car) for the third row is amazing. They can actually stretch out! They have a DVD player for entertainment. We had all three older boys in the back seat and they were able to sit without touching each other and MINIMAL fighting (come on, if they are in the same vicinity of each other, there will be fighting of some sort).
The best part: we eliminated a car payment - which goes a LONG way in trying to get as close to completely debt-free as we can (excluding ONE house)!
