To anyone that drives dayhome children what vehicle do you drive and how do you install the proper amount of car seats?
I bought a Dodge Grand Caravan only to realize 5 days into purchase that it is too narrow for 3 car seats across the back AND it only has 3 LATCH spots. So that means a total of 3 car seats. Looking at many vans this seems to be the standard. WTH? A mini van only fits 3 car seats? I'm beyond confused by that.
I called my dealership and luckily they are understanding of how stupid that is and are allowing me to do the needed exchange of vehicles. This dealership is connected to a large group of dealships encompassing many brands so I basically get to pick whatever make/model will work for me.
My question is... what works? I'm thinking 8 pass SUV of some sort with 3 car seats in the front and 2 in the rear. I would need to load the rear kids via the tail gate but I can handle that. I mostly just want to ensure that I can safely install the needed amount of seats.
