Spinoff to mini van
Who has an SUV?
We have the E class Mercedes and I just don't think its going to cut it once my  gets here....
Does anyone have an SUV with the 3rd row?

Re: Spinoff to mini van
well, My post id the minivan debate post.
I test drove the explorer with the third row, and liked it a lot. The ease of getting to that back seat though , well, it's NOT easy.
I really like the Honda Pilot, my brother just got a beautiful one, and loves it. For me it's out of my price range, but maybe it's something you could consider

What do you mean the back seat isn't easy to get to?

Re: Spinoff to mini van
The regular back seat is fine, I mean the third row seat. You have to tumble the regular back seat over, to get in there, and if you have a car seat in place there, you can't tumble it. It was really nice though, just depends on your needs.

Re: Spinoff to mini van
I have a Hyundai Santa Fe without the 3rd row option and to be honest if you put a 3rd row in you wouldn't get a pushchair in the back. DH has a Mountaineer with the 3rd row and it flips up & down completely flat, again to be honest when its up its great for transporting people but not much room in the back for anything else. I don't do much mileage at all as I work from home so I don't spend much on gas, maybe $20 per week. DH does a lot of mileage and spends about $100 a week on gas, I just asked him how many miles he does and he said "a lot"  Without the 3rd row seating you could get a stroller and a dog (not a St. Bernard LOL) in both cars, with a baby and I would say 1 adult in the back seat comfortably.

Re: Spinoff to mini van
I have to agree with CAT. I had an Explorer with the 3rd row option...when the 3rd row was up there was hardly any trunk space. My BFF has a Pathfinder with the 3rd row option...same thing. We checked out the MDX which has a 3rd row and also minimal trunk space. If you really want a 3rd row and are going to use it alot your best bet is probably a minivan. My mom just bought the Odyssey...it's FIRE and I'm not a minivan person. Also I think Mercedes has a new minivanish car...my neighbor has it. I don't know the name but it's nice too.

it's the R-Class- very hard to see out of
I have the M- Class SUV from them and I love it- it's in the same price range as the E 350
I don't have the thrid row seats- but the truck is HUGE- bigger then my old pathfinder and explorer

I have the same, and it's been great with 2 kids.
At any given time I have a carseat, a booster seat, a single stroller, a double stroller and a portable feeding seat in it, and there's still plenty of room!
