What info are you looking for? Are you looking for car seat info, vehicle info...or just wonder what everyone does?
I didn't drive when I was running at full capacity. I have NO interest in getting 5 young kids in and out of the car to go anywhere! But now that I am down to just working with 2 kids at a time we do use the car. It is a pain but we have the system down pat. We don't wear coats in the car so we pop those off and the kids wear a fleece sweater in the car seat. I also pop boots off as they get in (keeps the car clean). We Exit on one side. I unbuckle them and they come out the one door popping their coats and boots back on.
When we are going to be outside and need full gear (winter or rain gear) I pop the trunk and stand them in the trunk while I layer them up and delayer them. It keeps them clean and dry and contained and out of the parking lot, and they love it because they get to be in the trunk lol.
Anyways...if you plan to have more than 3 kids you would obviously need a van. Even most cars won't hold 3 car seats without buying specific seats and mixing forward and rear facing.
With our 2 car seats we bought the slimmest of seats out there and have them on back passenger side and in the middle...freeing up the rear drivers side for me to kneel to do buckles and such.
I see many caregivers out with 5 kids. I give them credit as it is a big job to pull off!!! But they seem to do it smoothly and have fun on outings so it can be well worth it.
