AND we have to park the car in the driveway because you can't get the doors open wide enough to actually load a kid into either car seat in the garage.
We have a cx7 for my wife and speed 3 for me. The infant seat fit in my car in the middle if I moved the seat up from where I want it. No way the convertible fits. We're expecting our second now, and I assume the minivan won't be too far behind. We can probably do her car with two seats as long as both passenger and driver don't mind being uncomfortable and we don't need to take another person anywhere. In time for the third kid will absolutely be minivan. They just make too much sense. Not sure if I'll get one too or not.
