MiniVan Question

If you have a minivan, do you have captian's seats or a bench seat for the seats behind the driver and front passanger's seats?

Can you install a infant seat and car seat in a captian's seat?

Do you like your minivan, and if so, what make/model do you have?

Thanks
michelle

I have the Honda Odyssey and LOVE it. I have captain seats in the row behind the driver and have a car seat in each (one rear facing and one forward facing)

I've been in Melissa's van and it is very snazzy. DH was very impressed with the sliding doors.

I have a Toyota Sienna.. the middle row is 2 separate seats that you can move to be together (and have entrance to the rear seats on the side) or apart (and have entrance to the rear seats through the middle) you can easily install any car seat in those seats.. I LOVE my car Chat Icon

we have a ford freestar (not made anymore) and its got captain's chairs. we have a booster and an infant seat in them now. no problems. we love the van, it can hold lots of people, or lots of stuff, and the sliding doors are the best. so much easier to get in and out of the back of the car.

We have Sienna with 3 seats in the 2nd row. You could install a carseat in any seat in that row - they all have LATCH capabilities, although the middle seat with a carseat would make it hard to pop the side seats forward for access to the 3rd row.

I have the Hyundai Entourage and I am very happy with it. We looked at the Sienna and briefly the Odessy and we were very happy with the Entourage

We have 2 captains chairs and I have an infant seat in one and a regular car seat in the other and a bench seat in the third row.

Thanks for all the replys!

I'll definately be looking at all the suggested minivans. Its great that you can install carseats in the captains chairs. That will make things a lot easier.
