Looking into buying a new car
Because we're expecting twins and I already have a two year old. My current car is too small for all the "things" I will need. I looking into getting a bigger SUV.....maybe a minivan. Any suggestions??? I'm looking into safety, easy accessiblity, storage, etc. What has worked for you?

I also had to upgrade to a larger vehicle when I was pregnant with the twins.. I had two toddlers prior to the twins, so it was a necessity.. I bought a Dodge Caravan. It is very easy for me to load and unload all the children. I think the back seat in an SUV would be more difficult to get to. I have heard of people with SUVs with smaller children who have complained and are looking to get a van. With the dual sliding doors, it has been really easy for me. I do want to upgrade to an SUV when the kids are a little older. . at least when the older 2 are no longer in car seats, so they will be able to get into the back of an SUV and buckle up on their own. . My kids are 5, 4 and the twins are 2.. So I will probably be stuck in the van for 2 more years..hope this helps a little.

I have a Honda CRV and could use more backseat room. My twins are almost three and it's a little crowded in the back, especially when my husband drives and has the seat moved back. I'm also looking for something bigger, maybe a Nissan Murano. I want four-wheel or all-wheel drive, because we live in North Dakota and have snow for five months out of the year! Anyway, I'd definitely recommend something bigger than a CRV. Good luck!

My recommendation:
The Honda Pilot.
I LOVE mine. The double stroller has plenty of room in the back.
And it's a very dependable car!

I like to Honda Pilot but with twins and a toddler, I'm worried about space. I really don't want to join the "Mini van club" just yet.
