I have a Honda Insight which is actually pretty small even though its 4 doors. I dont want to get rid of my car though. I need a Hybrid for as much as we drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226467 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:07:42 +0000 Alivoo01 226467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Toyota Sequoia and it's a massive SUV (seats 8 comfortably and with plenty of leg space). We bought it to transport supplies for the shop though, not necessarily with kids in mind since we bought it over 3 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226433 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:53:23 +0000 Chillybear 226433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband has the subaru forrester and i have a car any 17 yr old would lovea kia soul </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226432 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:52:56 +0000 bushelandapeck 226432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We traded my VW Jetta in for a new Outback and absolutely love it! We still have DH's Honda Civic that we use to commute but the Outback will be our main car once the baby is here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226428 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:49:36 +0000 Meridian 226428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought of an SUV as a mom car!! We got a BMW X5 a few years ago (used and at a GREAT deal) and we love it... that one is considered "DH's car". "My car" is a Infinity MX sedan, which I think is more "mom-ish" than the SUV (and has horrible gas mileage!!). </p> <p>We're considering down sizing to one car to save some money, and I think it makes more sense to keep the SUV because it has really come in handy to move things and to transport our dog. However, my parents gave us the Infinity last year, and I feel bad selling that one (I gave my little sister my Honda Civic coupe, my dad gave me his Infinity, and he got a new Lexus, haha) Not sure what we'll do yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226409 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:37:02 +0000 Running Elley 226409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp- Chevy Trailblazer! DH drives a Ford Focus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226380 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:16:54 +0000 DillonLion 226380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - bought it on purpose. It is a crossover SUV (Mercury Mariner which is the exact same car as the Ford Escape) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226373 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:13:01 +0000 Bookish 226373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No plans to get a 'mom' car, but I do plan on getting a 4-door sedan instead of my current Hyundai 2-door hatchback. I really don't NEED a new car, but Mr Worm thinks a 2-door would be a nightmare with a baby...so I'm looking at getting either a Mazda3 or (if we get raises, lol) a 4-door Golf GTI. I like em sporty ;)</p> <p> I don't want to threadjack, but do any of you ladies have a regular cab (as in, 2 seater) truck that you use to cart around baby? I'm a bit worried about putting a car seat in my husband's Ranger :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226055 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 06:05:29 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 226055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: our Graco carrier/car seat barely fit in the back. The bucket seats made it difficult to install, and it only fit in the center -- which is OK because we want our seats in the center, but we'd never be able to install a second seat for future kids. </p> <p>We just upgraded Baby Jumper to the Britax Boulevard and it doesn't even fit. Papa Thinks it would fit FF, but we're a long ways away from FF. </p> <p>The trunk space is also an issue. Our stroller doesn't even fit in there, though we think an umbrella stroller might. Regardless, we couldn't fit our luggage and her toys plus a stroller, so... We bought a Ford Edge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-226051 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 04:09:55 +0000 looch 226051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I don't consider an SUV to be a mom car, but a minivan or a wagon, yes. We have none of the above right now, we drive a sedan and it's a PITA with the gear and car seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-225999 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:16:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 225999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but we plan to get one once we have more kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-225951 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:39:29 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 225951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I drive a subaru impreza which I love, but am worried it won't fit kids when they arrive. Why don't you use it for family trips? Is it not big enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-225195 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:54:23 +0000 meaganceleste 225195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone jokes that my VW Jetta Sportwagen is a Mom car, but really me and my husband both love wagons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224863 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 09:02:37 +0000 prettylizy 224863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, traded in my trusty old Sunfire for my Nissan Rogue (small suv). When I got pg. right before she was born DH traded in his 2 door ford ranger for a VW Passat. We have 2 mom cars! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224857 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:58:06 +0000 twodoghouse 224857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't even have kids yet, but I feel like a drive a mom car. It's an Audi Q7 which is about the size of some of the minivans in the parking lot at work. And somehow without any kids, we still manage to fill the whole thing up when we go somewhere with just the dogs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224805 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:30:33 +0000 sorrycharlie 224805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive a toyota highlander - kind of a mom car, but lots of other people drive 'em too :) I LOVE it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224801 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:27:59 +0000 mrstilly 224801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Subaru hatchback (not a wagon), a VW Jetta TDI sedan, and an extended cab pick up. I actually wish I had a mom-car. I would love a wagon - either a Subaru Outback or a VW Jetta Wagon. I would love the extra space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224796 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:21:05 +0000 Pipers Mommy 224796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Ford Escape and DH has a Chrysler 300. I don't really consider either a mom car but maybe they are. We'll be looking at either minivans or 3rd row SUVs before #2 arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224786 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:15:26 +0000 mrsjyw 224786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I have a pontiac g6 that i'm going to trade in for a ford edge or another midsized SUV which apparently is a mom car? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224767 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:59:20 +0000 betsyboop 224767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I didn't realize SUVs were considered mom cars! I guess I do then! I got the Lexus SUV about a week before our LO arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224766 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:57:42 +0000 chopsuey 224766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive a prius.Looking to get an infiniti qx56 soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224763 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:48:31 +0000 Sophia 224763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Have you seen the 'Swagger Wagon' videos? They are pretty funny. I work with a former Toyota car salesman and he made me watch them one (slow) day. Super funny.</p> <p>My husband drives a truck and I have a Pontiac G6. I think my next car might be an SUV though. I have friends with 2 kids and 2 car seats in cars like Malibus and it just feels so claustrophobic! I'm also pretty tall, so I think I'll run out of legroom with car seats in the back of my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224743 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:24:34 +0000 Weagle 224743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but I'm dreaming about it! My future mom car wishlist: Odyssey, Highlander, or Pilot. LO's carseat is already taking a ton of space in my sedan, so it might be sooner than later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-mom-car#post-224741 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:24:00 +0000 chrispygal 224741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Volvo XC60 SUV.
