My wife and I are planning to get a new Carnival or Odyssey. Sienna is off our list due to 3 kids in car seats.

We do have a Toyota and Honda dealership in town, while the nearest Kia dealer is an hour away.

Would folks here feel comfortable with that or not so much?

We loved test driving the Carnival, but we’ll have 3 kids under 3 soon (twins on the way). We know we can service the car at a local mechanic, but nervous about issues that require going to or leaving the car at a dealer. With 3 young ones, is it possible we should just get an Odyssey with a dealer minutes from our house?

Or do people think it probably won’t be a big deal and we should just get a Carnival?

Thanks all.
