D and I have decided it's probably time to start adding human kids to our family. We currently have 2 newfs and I've promised myself I won't add a 3rd newf to our family anytime soon. The plan since we were married 3 years ago was to get a second newf, then try for kids when the pup turned 2, that way I wouldn't be pregnant and have a puppy on my hands. Funny now that Bo is turning 2 in December and ALL I WANT is a 3rd newf.
Anyway, I digress...
So right now we have a Jeep Liberty. It's been better than I hoped--the dogs are comfortable and we throw our bags into a carrier on the roof when going on long trips.
But, there is absolutely no room to have a baby AND 2 newfs. I have determined that I either need a vehicle with 3 rows of seats (turn down 3rd row for dogs) or a vehicle with 2 rows of seats and lots of room in the rear.
So this is where I need some help. Any recommendations for vehicles with enough room for 2 newfs (and maybe 3...?) + kids would be super helpful. The only 2 things I should mention are:
1. The boys need to be comfortable--the dogs are very much a part of our family and will be going on all trips WITH us and future baby. They need room to lie down and move around.
2. I have a severe aversion to vans. I've heard that minivans are very practical and I completely understand, but I'm just not ready to make that leap...
