THird Row Seating in SUVS- Is there enough trunk space?
Going to look at the Acadia, Highlander and Traverse. I really need the bucket seats, but want to make sure the trunk has enough room for my stroller at least. Does anyone drive these ? Is there enough trunk space?
TIA

We have the highlander and as long as you keep the third row down...the space is good.
I think with the third row up you will have enough space for a stroller.

I have an Acadia. I usually keep the 3rd row down (unless I'm driving a big group), but I can fit my stroller in easily whether the 3rd row is up or down. I should mention that I have a Maclaren Techno, though, so it's not a bulky stroller.

For the Acadia/Traverse---I keep my 3rd row down most of the time, but when I have it up there is enough room for my stroller (pliko p3) but not my double (BOB) I looked at the Highlander as well and felt mine had more room with the 3rd row up.

Re: THird Row Seating in SUVS- Is there enough trunk space?
I have the Buick enclave. Generally, the row row is down. However, when new baby arrives in march, I will have to use the 3 rd row for my oldest to have a seat ( we have 2nd row captains chairs and 3 kids). My 3 rd row is a 60-40 split fold, so my son has plenty of room and space in the 40% seat of the 3 rd row, so I will most likely keep the larger section of the 3rd row down to keep my stroller in there and have room for bags and groceries, etc. When I do need to use the whole 3 rd row, the single stroller fits on its side on the back -- but there isn't room for much else.

Re: THird Row Seating in SUVS- Is there enough trunk space?
Just out of curiosity.....for those who have a 3 Row SUV....why didn't you get a minivan? We are in the process of upsizing to a family vehicle and the minivan has all the interior space we are looking for....B.U.T......it's a minivan. Just wondering why people don't get them if they are more space efficient and cost effective than the SUVs???

Just not a mini van mom. At all. Will never be. I know they are practical, I know there is room (we've rented one before on vacation), but it's just not me. If I ever need something bigger than my 3rd row CUV, I will get an Escalade or Yukon type vehicle.

We need to be able to tow both regular & boat trailers on occasion. Also, and I could be wrong about this, we need A LOT of cargo space in the back for our frequent trips to see the ILs in PA & we felt that even with the 3rd row folded down a minivan wouldn't come close to the amount of cargo space that our Acadia has in the back.

ITA. For me AWD is also very important. That leaves one minivan in that category. I will never own a vehicle without it.

Re: THird Row Seating in SUVS- Is there enough trunk space?
For us, we have a tahoe with the 3rd row. Most if the time its folded up & we actually only have the 2 seat section of the 3rd row.in the car to allow room for my double stroller.
I'm not a mini van mom. Just not for me. Ive owned suv since I started driving. I need the 4WD for our trips to my parents in Maine & the weekend house in the Poconos.

Re: THird Row Seating in SUVS- Is there enough trunk space?
I have an acadia and the 3rd row is almost always up. I can fit my groceries in no problem. I used to have a sit and stand stroller and I fit that in there on its side. I don't have experience with any other strollers besides an umbrella stroller but I think there is a decent amount of room.
