I had an eight seater Honda Odyssey. I also don't have an issue with driving them and getting five kids in and out becomes a sinch when you do it so often. Just about 2-3 minutes max for the whole group. My issue is what if my own kids are sick and need collecting from school and I don't have the ability to fit all the dckids plus my own two in the car??

I've also managed without but should anything happen where I need to go out, I'm not sure what else I'd do.
