With the new baby coming in less then a month, Ichiro and I knew we needed to figure out the car situation. What’s the problem? Well, we aren’t able to fit 3 car seats in the back of the Envoy. I’ve always said “I’ll NEVER drive a minivan,” and Ichiro has been great looking at SUVs with third rows. I thought a smaller SUVs with a third row would be perfect, but after checking them out I realized that there is NO truck space for the double strollers and no leg room in the third row. Also the way you had to put the second row forward to get in the third row meant both Noby and Koji would had to sit in the way back. So then we looked at the bigger SUVs and although the trunk space was much better, I felt like I was driving a tank. They were just way to big. Soooo…..
We looked at some minivans and it turns out they really are the perfect family car!!! Tonight both Ichiro and I traded in our single life cars (his Jeep and my Cabrio) and got a MINIVAN!
It’s a 2011 Toyota Sienna and it’s awesome!!
Here’s the boys checking it out at the dealership!
