Just had baby #3 and my compact is to small to hold 3 car seats. Anybody have recommendations for a vehicle (make/model) that works for 3 car seats, specifically what you like about it. Also what to avoid and why.

    My third was born a year ago and our other two were 3 and 18mo at the time.

    I ended up buying a used Dodge Grand Caravan with captains seats in the middle row. Any of the minvans will work. We did a lot of research into different vehicles and car seats as my wife was opposed to the minivan.

    Part of the appeal is that there is enough room to change a kids diaper on the floor with all the doors closed (extremely useful for those winter road trips). There is also enough room for an adult to comfortably sit in the back if necessary.

    If you look carefully you can find a lot of discussion on this exact topic.
