Re: Did you get a bigger car after DC was born?

We have an SUV and a small sedan before.

We traded in the SUV for a minivan and kept the sedan.

We use the sedan almost always, the minivan is more for excursions with lots of stuff.

I have to say, I love driving a minivan. I didn't fight it at all.

I used to drive a two door Honda Accord. I went to a Ford Escape and I got pregnant with Jared. Then my lease was up and I went with a Ford Edge. So yeah, I went with bigger cars.

Now I want to go down to a car again...a Cadillac CTS...Chat Icon

Speaking of this, I just got my first bill in the mail for our new car. Ugh, and we haven't had a car payment in like, 5 years. That stinks! Chat Icon

Re: Did you get a bigger car after DC was born?

I have a 2door honda accord & I desperately need a bigger car.....but money is tight right now. I hope to be able to buy a Honda CRV in August when they have their clearance event. If not August, it will have to wait until next February.

DH has a Honda Ridgeline, so usually whoever has the baby has the truck.

No, I have a 2 door Saturn. It still works for me. It is a little tight getting DD in and out, but not a big deal. I guess eventually we will need a bigger car if/when we have another child. But I can't justiify spending the money for a different car if what we have now works ok.

We actually bought a car before we TTC - an Acura RDX (a small SUV). After DD was born we realized we needed a bigger vehicle and we upgraded to an Acura MDX.

Re: Did you get a bigger car after DC was born?

we went from a Ford Focus Hatch to a Honda Accord Sedan for DD.

Now that we're expecting #2 we'll probably go to a Honda Pilot- our lease is up this Oct anyway (#2 due beginning of December).

Honestly- the only reason why we have to get the Pilot is b/c my husbands parents live OOT and when they come in they NEVER rent a car- we have to pick them up. So we would need that 3rd row. so annoying.
