Re: Family Friendly Cars - What do you drive?
I had two consecutive Corollas...LOVED them both, and wish I'd never sold the second. (Another story, time, place). Moved on to SUV's, namely a Chevy Trailblazer (loaded, DVD player in back, etc.) but still didn't think it was the greatest for kids. I am now in a Jeep Grand Cherokee and would NEVER PUT A CHILD IN IT. So much bouncing, jouncing....it's just too much of an all terrain vehicle to be good for a baby or even toddler. (If anyone's considering a new Jeep anything...I vote "no" too much bouncing all over the place, even with the carseat.) Thanks for reading, just wanted to throw out my "hate it!" vote.

FI has a Ford Edge an we both love it. The seat fits rfing perfectly without the front passenger feeling like they are eating their knees. Plenty of trunk space and believe me, we have packed that sucker up! Lots of room in the back seat too. Nissan Murano is similar build.
I just paid off my toyota so I'm holding off on the desire to upgrade to a larger car.
