2 row car with 3 kids? How long until they can't do road trips with any sanity left?
I need to ditch my 19 year old Mazda and get a new car. I really like the look and specs of the Honda Passport Trailsport. Reviews are stellar, 10/10 on Car and Driver, seems easy to work on and fun to use. The Honda pilot is the exact same car but 1 ft longer and adds a third row. Doesn't look near as good though .
However, I have one two year old and the second kid due in March and we currently plan on having 3. Currently make 8 hour road trips twice a year at least .How many years do I have before I regret getting a simple car and start thinking about trading it in for a 3 row?
I fear I know what y'all will say. You'll talk me into getting the sensible suburban esk car instead. It might be a midlife crisis car to do some mudding. But if I get 5 years out of it, maybe that's okay? Or there's no way a 7 year old will sit between two car seats for 8 hours without me hating my day?
