SUV or crossover with third row seating?

Right now I drive a Lincoln town car and have one carseat in the back for my granddaughter. . We're thinking of getting a new car(this one is 12 yrs. old) if and when my daughter has another baby ( hopefully sooner rather than later) then I will have two car seats in the back and we wouldnt be able to fit two more adults in the car too so I was thinking maybe we need something with a third row. Any suggestions or recommendations. I was thinking minivan . My daughter has a honda odyssey and loves it. I love it too but am interested in other options. Thanks .

I have a Town and Country and I love it. Never thought I'd hear myself say that about a mini van but its true.

My DH just leased a Dodge Journey. Much smaller than a mini van but does have 3rd row capabilities. Just doesnt leave much trunk space when 3rd row is up.

If you get third row, def get captain chairs in the second row. With car seats it will be quite a hassle getting into the third row.

These suvs have captain chairs in the second row
Acadia
Explorer
Durango
Enclave

The 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe also has captain seats available.

I have a 2010 (no 3rd row) and love my car.

I got the Buick enclave with captain seating and I'm in love with my truck! The Chevy traverse is similar and less expensive, it just doesn't have all of the bells and whistles.

Re: SUV or crossover with third row seating?

We had the Acadia Denali and it was great, still had a bit of room with the 3rd row up for storage, just got an explorer and even though it is a little smaller it has more storage because it truck floor drops like a minivan. Just make sure you get the captains seats or the 3rd row is impossible on both vehicles to get to with car seats in the 2nd row.

We just got the Buick Enclave with the 3rd row and I love it!! The third row is very spacious and there is a lot of room in the back for storage even with the third row up!
