We have a Honda Odyssey. It was purchased solely because we had a third child and needed something that was family friendly and easy for the kids to get into. It was definitely not my top choice of cars. I never wanted to have the minivan stereotype that comes with it. I am more of an SUV lover. However, this vehicle is perfect for our family. It is roomy - it has two rows of seating and can seat up to eight people, if needed. There is ample room in the trunk space. Our model even has a cooler in it to store drinks or to keep food cold. It is stylish as it has a sunroof, which we love to open on warmer days. The sliding doors are a definite plus. They operate with the push of a button, and the kids can hop in and out of it with ease which is especially helpful when it's raining or there is another car next to us (no worries about hitting the other car with a door). There is even enough room to change a diaper in it. We viewed several SUV models, and we felt they didn't have the space that the Odyssey had. In an SUV, the third row was typically crammed in and the trunk space was tiny. This concerned us and we worried about the safety of whoever sat in the third row. If there was a rear end collision and no trunk space, the person in the third row would be hurt. If I had to nit pick the vehicle, I would say I'm not a fan of the brakes. I need to push down on them harder and because of the weight of the vehicle, it doesn't stop as quickly as an SUV or smaller car. Though I am carrying that minivan complex, it is definitely a good fit for our family at this current time.

We have a Honda Odyssey with a vie conversion. This can has everything we need in a car plus a little extra. It has three rows of seating which we took out the second row to make room for my son's wheelchair. We love that in the back not only is there great storage, but we have an additional compartment to stow extra things. We absolutely love that it has a little cooler in between the driver and passenger seats. It is super convenient on road trips. The children like that it has blinds in the sliding doors in the back. Another great feature is that both of the side doors open. We are spoiled by the key fob that allows us to open each of the sliding doors, open the back hatch, and roll the windows down. One of my favorite things is that it has built-in GPS. I also enjoy the hands-free telephone. I have not been able to use the satellite radio as it is an additional cost. We also like that is has heated seats in the front. They are super nice on a cold day. The kids like that they can have the temperature set to a different temperature than the driver or the passenger.
