You bring a Madden Cruiser to Staten Island, and I'll find a place to park it...LMAO

Second UFS on sliding doors. With kids that feature alone trumps SUVs unless you really need 4 wheel drive. Add over 5 mpg better gas mileage and I went with the Quest over an SUV. A couple times a year the 4 wheel drive would be handy but rest of the year the Minivan is better with kids.

We have a Chrysler Town and Country and it seats our 3 little rugrats with plenty of room to spare!

However, since you asked the advice on this board, I suggest you get something along the lines of a "Madden Cruiser".

That way, for the draft next year in NYC, you can pick up all of us on the way. We could have the Hold em tournament ON THE WAY THERE, and parking wouldn't be a problem, as I am sure Diesel would let us park in his front yard!

That's the best idea of the year Billy. I'm all in!

We have a daughter who is 17 months old and a son who is 9 yrs. old so we will need to accomodate 2 car seats and comfort for our son. We currently have a 4 door Ford F-150 Lariat Super Crew but want to get something larger. Right now we plan on purchasing the biggest Yukon we can find or a mini-van, yuck,

. If anyone has an oppinion or suggestion we would appreciate the input. Dude, let me first qualify myself. I was a complete motorhead back in the day. 69' Buick GS w/454 copmpletely set up for street racing from light to light. I was really into it and thought when I started having kids "1 or 2 would be nice"
Well, I have 4 kids and have had the Expiditon and Excursion.
But....
The Honda Odessy(sp) is absolutley great. Plenty of room, you can park it (and so can your wife) anyplace, it doesn't turn I swear it pivots.
Nice ride, roomy, and you have 3 kids. So forget cool.
Go for it....

3' [/QUOTE]Lou, you must've been pretty bored to find this and respond. My wife still has her heart set on the Yukon XL, so I'm guessing that's what we'll get. Again, thanks for all the info everyone. We still have 6 months to go, so we're taking our time.
