With baby #3 on the way, it was inevitable that we would need to upgrade our small SUV to be able to fit another person inside. I didn’t want to deal with having to fold over a seat to get a 4 year old into the back of an SUV, so we decided long ago that we would buy a minivan. We’d been talking about features and models and decided to look on KSL “just for fun”. Well, we found the perfect van on paper and decided to check it out yesterday. It IS perfect! It’s a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. It’s the color I like, has a DVD player, a touch-screen stereo/navigation system, back-up camera, power sliding doors and hatchback (you know, because we’re lazy and would rather push a button than have to pull a handle), and it’s got the 2 bucket seats in the middle row which is exactly what we wanted. Oh, and those seats fold up and stow-away inside the car. Cool.
Nat is happy that it’s boxier and more SUV-looking than other minivans. I’m just happy to have room for my new baby! And the bells and whistles are pretty sweet too. I feel so mom-ish.
