I already have 3 kids and we are in the process of getting a new vehicle which will have enough room. My husband and I are contemplating either to get an SUV (he prefers Suburban or Navigator) and I think the mini-van will be easier for me to manage (Sienna or Odyssey). What do you think? I be the one using this vehicle. I would prefer a car but I know it will be too crowded with all the 3 car seats at the back. Your opinion and views are greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy mylotting.

Thanks for the response. I post this question in here because I wanted to get an opinion to those who have experience in using either a mini-van or SUV with their family. Before we will settle on the brand or model, my husband and I are doing lots of research on what is the best in the market. Happy mylotting....

I would get the van since it will be alot easier on you. I prefer the SUV also but when you have little ones that need to be in a car seat, I think the van would be alot easier on you. SUV's these days are quite roomy though so I would check them out also and see if the car seats would fit comfortably.

That is why I am leaning more on the mini-van because in the first place, am not that tall and gosh, lifting the baby carrier in an SUV needs all my strength. We have an SUV now but have no 3rd seat at the back. But then, I have to get more views because when you purchase a vehicle, I would be tied to it for a long time, so I don't want to drive something that I am not happy with..:) Thanks for the response...
