Car + 3 kids?

Question

Hello!!! 
I have two girls (10 & 2). We just found out I’m pregnant with our 3rd!!!  
I recently bought a car, I wanted to know if any of you moms have a car (instead of an SUV).  Is it a struggle having 3 kids and a car? Do you not recommend it? do you think it would be a pain to trade it in?

Answer

In have an escape and we are looking at trading it in for something with a third row. With a an almost 10 yr old, 3 yr old and baby on the way, it's not big enough

Answer

I almost got a car as we weren't expecting a third. I have a 7 and will be 2 year old when they baby is born.
I have a Toyota highlander and ots the best. Its 7 seats I recommend it.
A car will be annoying especially if you want to fit a double stroller. My 7 year old is in a booster seat so shes sitting in the third row then the two babies in the middle row

Answer

I had a car for a long time with more then 3 kids and it was cramped! I recently got a Journey fits 7 and I love having the extra space! Plus its higher off the ground so not as much bending 😉

Answer

I drive a Ford Expedition max 8 passenger but when I was truck was being fixed the dealership gave me a Ford Fusion (midsize Sedan) it was such a pain trying to fit 2 car seats and a booster then putting a stroller in the trunk. Felt like the car was holding on my a thread to even just go to the grocery store. I had a Ford Fusion before I had kids and it was amazing (thought I was going to have the same feelings) 👎. I would say keep your car, see how it works out for your family all together then decide

Answer

I’m due with my 3rd in October and have a Camry. I went ahead and put the base in to test it out and make sure they’ll all fit. Just start with the middle seat first! Or get slimmer seats for your oldest 2

Answer

My mom has a car and so does one of my sisters. My sister drives a Chevy Sonic so those are small anyway. She has 2 kiddos and her kids fit just fine in her car. If she takes my daughter anywhere then her 8 year old has to ride in the front seat.  There is absolutely no room for her between a car seat and a booster seat. My mom drives a Lincoln MKZ. A little bigger than my sisters car, but still there is no room. I’m having my second baby in December so there really won’t be any space for anyone. 
I currently drive a Nissan Pathfinder. I find it to be too small. I have both of my nieces more often then not plus my daughter. The oldest sits in the 3rd row. My daughter sits in her booster in the second and my second niece sits in her car seat also in the second row. The second row seats do not fold down with the booster and car seat attached to them FYI. It’s such a pain. My niece gets in and out of the car from the trunk. When baby comes I’ll have to put my daughter and oldest niece in the 3rd row and leave my second niece and baby in the second row with the passenger side seat folded down so my niece can get out of the car for school. I don’t recommend this vehicle.

Answer

We had a Ford Escape until last fall.  Our kids are 5, 2, and due in October.  It felt cramped with the two kids, I baby imagine how a car would feel.  Plus all the stuff that comes with the kids.  We got the escape when I was pregnant with my first, I wasn't ready for a van, so insisted on the escape.  It was great until my second was a few months old and I was REALLY wanting a van.  We got one last fall and I LOVE it!! Can't say enough good things about it, I just had to be ready to move onto that.  It's SO convenient and had so many great features for families! I'm saying that as a lifelong(until now 😂) suv lover!
