Daycaremomof2 11:40 AM 01-31-2012
I'm sick of being cooped up- it's time to venture out and I'm buying a new car.
But what to buy?
I need something that will fit 6 car seats.
Ideas?

Toyota Sienna with 8th seat. Unlike the Honda Odyssey - the 8th seat is not full size, so I'm not sure you could put 6 carseats. We have a 2007, not sure how long they have been making the 8 seat minivans...

I'm sure it depends on what type of carseats you're using. Most likely, to fit 6 carseats, you're going to need to get all new THIN carseats. I believe Radian is the company that makes really thin convertible carseats, but they're pricey.
If you're truly looking to get a new vehicle/new carseats, go to www.car-seat.org. The ladies on there are wonderful with finding the perfect combination of seats to fit in any specific vehicle.

I have a combi convertible carseat and I can fit it in rear or forward facing between my 2 graco 5 pt/booster seats in the back row of my Suburban. It takes a little work but those seats won't go anywhere. A little excited to load a rear facing baby that way. LOL

Thanks guys!
I am going to look into all of these suggestions. I am not really a mini-van type of person, so maybe a nice SUV

I was going to say a suburban. make sure to check your regulations regarding transporting daycare kids. also your car insurance. I would purchase the car seats myself so you can guarantee that they are in good working order and can also shop for narrower options. check your state laws and see who needs to be rear faced, car seats, or boostered. What ages are your kids? I would keep as many rear facing for as long as possible....also keep the bigger ones harnessed as long as possible.

We have a Honda Pilot and no way would you fit 3 convertible size car seats across the back row. Maybe could squeeze 3 in the middle row but they'd have to be some boosters in the mix. Even getting to the back row to buckle is a royal pain!!!Consider the Honda Pilot that seats 8: http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/interior.aspx

Oh, and be sure to check into auto insurance before you start driving around daycare kiddos. It is a huge liability. You might rethink your plans. IDK.
