I'm keeping my car since this is my first baby:) I have a 4dr 2000 Dodge stratus so that plenty of room for now:)..  but the car seat is going to stay in my car because my husband has a mustang and the back seat is a lot smaller. In his car there's only two spots for people to sit in the back an in my car there's three so yea the baby will definitely always be in my car lol :)))

The kia Sorrento has a third row. My sister loves hers and its really good on gas and in the snow. We can actually fit two car seats and a person in the second row!!! That's what I'm getting when my grand Cherokee ever dies ;-)

Im with you 4thtimearound. I dont want a minivan or.a suburban. That isnt my style. My boyfriend wants a dodge durango. I like the way the new ones looks.

Oh and quick advice to anyone thinking of upgrading....grab your infant seat when you go to look at cars and try to stick it in the back seat...make sure everyone will fit comfy cause sometimes looks can be deceiving with back seats :)

I HAD to upgrade due to needing the extra seats lol my huspand has a jeep Cherokee for his winter beater and a regular cab dodge for the warmer months but seeing as we tend to do everything as a family and our fourth child is due anytime now we had to get something bigger. I chose to go with a dodge Durango. It has the third row seating and I don't have to feel dorky driving a mini van (no offense to the ladies out there who drive them they just aren't my cup of tea lol) plus actually my Durango can hold one more person than a mini van lol so it worked out.

I have a 2013 Chevy Equinox and I absolutely love it, this is my first baby though, and my friend has a one yr old and twin new borns and I struggled getting three carseats in the back so if you have three little little ones I wouldn't go with the Equinox, other than that I have plenty of room for two carseats!!

That was my first "baby purchase" I had a two door car, and saved up some miney and went and bought a new hyundai elantra. I felt more comfortable having quick access to my baby by those two extra doors :)

I currently drive a pontiac grand prix. I am pregnant with #3 and will need to fit 2 rear facing seats (for newborn and 1yr old) and a forward facing carseat for my 3yr old daughter.  Lol definitely planning on a bigger vehicle before baby arrives!  We did have a dodge Durango n considering getting another but they cost so damn much on gas.

I Have A 2006 2 Door Chevy Cobalt, Which Is Hell To Get A Car Seat In And Out Of. Because Our Pregnancy Was A Surprise, And I'm Not Due Until September, We Are Using Our Income Tax Check For Next Year To Buy A Little Bit Bigger Of A Car!
