Definitely having some major sticker shock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1432000 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:05:15 +0000 ninja 1432000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylovesbear: whatever you get, you gotta share pics! I'm totally new car obsessed right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431977 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:53:43 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1431977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing some more research, and I didn't realize that Highlanders had captain seating for the 2nd row. Lots of options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431954 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:48:31 +0000 MrsH 1431954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cx-9 would be a good option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431951 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:47:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 1431951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Acadia that I love (bucket seats) but we've had some techincal problems with it lately. I've been looking at Tahoes and Highlanders! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431934 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:44:09 +0000 preggomeggo82 1431934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're buying a Highlander or an Explorer! Loved both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431883 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:30:04 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1431883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ninja: Ooh, I love the Latch and Slide option for the second row in the Pathfinder! Tahoes are solo big, and I don't know how I'd feel about driving one. I'm sure they are a pig on gas, as well. The Pathfinder seems to fix what I don't like about my Sorento. That's definitely a top contender. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431824 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:18:01 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1431824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: Ooh, I'll look those up now. That sounds more like what we're looking for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431823 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:17:53 +0000 ninja 1431823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would suggest you check out the Nissan Pathfinder. It's easy to access the third row, even with a forward facing car seat installed. (Can you tell that I've been researching that?!). The redesign they did for the 2013 model year is very appealing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431812 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:14:53 +0000 bushelandapeck 1431812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylovesbear: my SIL/BIL have a new Tahoe that they love and it has two captains hairs in the second row so you can walk in between to the third row. It's a nice set up and we are also looking at those :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431797 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:10:27 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1431797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we're definitely looking for something with the 3rd row seating. Our Kia has that, but the 3rd row is not convenient to use on a daily basis. You either need to fold down the middle seat (not possible with a second carseat there) or climb through the way back, which I don't see my daughter enjoying very much! So I basically want the minivan setup without it being a minivan!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431568 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:03:52 +0000 Mrs. M 1431568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also love our Highlander! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431537 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:55:07 +0000 bushelandapeck 1431537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylovesbear: we are also looking to buy something bigger before this LO arrives (we also have a big dog). I'm looking at the Honda Pilot, Audi Q7, or Highlander. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431524 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:51:08 +0000 snowjewelz 1431524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're probably looking for something that can have a 3rd row seat then? I would've said CRV (as a lot of bees here love the CRV) but I'm not sure if a 5 seater will suit your needs... What about the CX-9, assuming that's closer to your price range vs Toyota Highlander &amp; even Acura MDX? </p> <p><a href="http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Great_SUVs_with_Three_Rows/" rel="nofollow">http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Great_SUVs_with_Three_Rows/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431503 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:44:42 +0000 HLK208 1431503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Toyota highlander. There's quite a bit of room. I think the Honda Pilot is a tad bigger and two of my mom friends love theirs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-vehicle-recommendations#post-1431493 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:42:38 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1431493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my husband and I are considering purchasing a new vehicle - I currently have a Kia Sorento (that I love) but we will have two kids in carseats plus a 13 year old. My husband jokes that we are going to need a minivan... </p> <p>Any vehicle recommendations for a family of five plus a giant dog? It's probably important to note that I'm not sold on the idea of a minivan... lol. </p>
