On the subject of having 3 or more kids. What do you drive? We have 3 kids and have a minivan (which I'm not afraid to admit I love). I thought about finally getting rid of the gas guzzling giant SUV that is our second car but am running into the problem that all of the wagons (Outback, Audi, Volvo) can't quite handle three car seats across the middle (kids are all under 5) and most of the modest sized SUV's (4Runner, V90, etc) if they do have third row seating the third row is pressed against the back window so that getting rear ended seems really scary. At this point I'm thinking I need to hope that my kids grow into booster seats before the car dies (it's at 120K which I'm told in the world of Chevrolets means it's knocking on death's door). I can't really wrap my head around having a car that can't actually fit the whole family even if they primarly ride in the van. Any ideas?
