Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows of a car that can three car seats in the back? Two are non-infant car seats and the third will initially be a rear facing, but we know how quickly they outgrow those. I'm trying my hardest to avoid being the mom with the minivan. I rufuse to drive SUVs due to the high roll over rate, and I haven't seen too many crossovers with a 3rd rear seat. But, if I must become a minivan mom, any suggestions as far as safety, spacious, affordability, etc.? Thanks for all responses!

We used to have a Dodge Intrepid when our three were small. I was always impressed at the amount of room our kids in the back all lined up next to each other. Trunk space was deceiving too - I used to be able to get 15 bags of mulch in the trunk. The Lowe's guys would just look at me like I was crazy - but I'd tell them that it's been done before - trust me and they would all fit!

We traveled to Florida in it too and it worked for us when the kids were small. Best of luck finding something!

ooh, this is gonna be tough. The only one I can think of is the GMC acadia, but it is a SUV. However, do your research on SUVS, because they are all made lower to the ground now and I believe for lower turn over rates....and some are worse than others.
