Suggestions for a new vehicle??

sherri_chickie · 01-12-2011, 12:09 PM

I have a Jeep Compass, which I liked perfectly fine until the baby came. Now it's too hard to get the car seat in because of how the doors are and the seat is too far back but there is not enough space for the passenger with the car seat in the back. It also is too high to put the huge damn stroller in the back which takes up the entire back part. I am thinking of something different and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions. I need something that is good in snow too.. Something big enough for baby gear..

special license required.. but this would do the trick.

Cass. Luckily my husband is a commercial pilot so he has that license. It's about the right size for all the baby crap a person drags around too.

Just corrected my grammar so it made sense.

New ford explorer is pretty sweet and the sync system is badass.

Since you already drive a Compass and apparently don't care about looks, jump up to a Grand Cherokee. I had a 4runner when my son was born and the backseat was too small for the baby seat so I traded it in on a Grand Cherokee and the baby seat fit just fine. It was also great in snow and the V-8 was fun.... thirsty,... but fun.

I hate that they switched it to a crossover platform... Ruin a semi decent SUV.

They were making it bigger and bigger... Had they kept going they would have had to rebadge it and call it an expedition
