honda civic. she needs optimum gas mileage for her commute. that's why we reserved the tesla. it will be hers to drive if we can actually take delivery before her civic needs to be replaced. I'm usually pick up only but sometimes both or sometimes neither so both vehicles need to have two seats installed at all times. it's near impossible for me to ride in her civic with two kids in the back. because of that my ride will be the Kansas road tripper.

The minivan we rented to pak in Stillwater for the game oscar and spradling lost to give the squawks a share of Angel's 'ship was really fun.

I think my buddy in the seattle suburbs had your same criteria and likes whatever he got. I'll see what it is.

How long till SD Jr is in Kindergarten? He will be moving to a booster seat on the passenger side for the car line pickup and drop off

All these egg shaped import suv's look like lifted mini vans anyway

Minivan. Just do it. Lil sd will have tons of friends that will want to hang with him. You will need to be able to take all of these kids in one vehicle with a crap load of booster seats.

yes, we need (want?) an SUV. when we travel to like KS we have to bring over a billion piles of baby and kid stuff. a trunk won't cut it.

I mean, it definitely could cut it. How often do you go to Kansas and how much longer before you can get by with half as much baby stuff? I just think big luxury suv's feel like tahoes with a different badge and luxury sedans feel like luxury sedans.

If you lived like 100 miles closer to Wichita a tesla s would be perfect

Do the Bentayga, the video makes it look like there is plenty of room for the kids, plus,

Those look like a giant pain in the ass. And booster seats aren't big.

considering I can fit 2 of these in my center console, they are a lot smaller than a booster seat. They take a little getting the trick of in undoing the belt strap from the red part on one side, but my 6 year old has it figured out after a couple of weeks of me showing him how to do it.

michigancat · « **Reply #94 on:** June 21, 2016, 09:21:40 AM »

I'm just saying the size of booster seats was not a problem that needed to be solved.

Wait, 6yr olds can't ride in a car without extra equipment?

it's a woman's job to haul kids around, not a man's. what sd is trying to do is defy the laws of nature by looking cool while doing a woman's job.

there. someone had to say it. so few guys actually try to do what he is doing that no car manufacturer even addresses this wrinkle in the fabric of our universe.

Which driver's seat offers the most maneuverability for you to be able to retrieve your cell phone from the front pocket of your pants?

no, they need a booster seat to raise them up so that seat belts work properly, or a device like the mi-fold that instead pulls the belt down into position.
