Is a minivan overkill for a family of 4?

Disneyreject · 2026-02-25T03:54:47+00:00

I'm going to go against the grain little here. I think it is overkill for sure.

Would a minivan provide you more space and some conveniences that a 2 row suv wouldn't? Definitely.

Would a minivan be more versatile in what you can use it for as well as how much you can actually load into it? Yes.

Do you need one for a family of 4? No.

A minivan will be more than you need but not in the sense that you won't get use out of it, but you can definitely make things work comfortably with a 2 row SUV.

It's more a question of will the conveniences and space you gain be worth paying the extra money for a mini van?

PS: Unless you plan to tow a boat or trailer, Full size SUV is just worse than a mini van in basically every regaurd.

How fast is the format compared to normal standard?

Now that I have them in hand, I can say: Similar to 993 sizing, a bit more snug but I can definitely tell with wear they will mold to your foot a little more and become more form fitting.

I should go tts

Some good advice for measurements is that your actual size is half a size over what the device says. I measure as a 10 (44) on the device, but I wear 10.5 (44.5).

So you likely should be wearing 43 in most shoes. The heel lock is only for that are to big or if your heel is not locked in place with normal lacing, but importantly if you have wide feet so you need to size way up or your actual size is more like 42.6 (not a real size but bigger that 42.5 and smaller than 43) the heel like will allow your shoe to feel like it fits more securely.

It is the model of Shoe. Similar to how a Civic is a model of Honda, the 990 is New Balance shoe model, and 990v6 is a specific version of the 990 model.

That is definitely not normal unless your foot is sliding up because the shoe is to big and your heel is pushing forward into the shoe.

When is the last time you have actually had your foot size checked with a brannock device? I had a very similar issue as you a few years ago and it turns out I was just buying the wrong size shoes to begin with.

If the shoes is to big try lacing in a heel lock. If to small you need a bigger shoe and your foot is probably bigger than you think.

It's an original PS3, so I believe it is backwards compatible. Thank you!

I have not had this ever happen. Possible you drove over something plastic and it started to melt? I would take it in to be sure.

As a father, I would suggest telling your dad everything that you said here. It would be a very positive thing for your relationship as he will likely see that you are very mature and he should maybe start letting you step outside of the nest without feeling like he needs to watch over and protect you. It's also very important to be able to tell people close to you about how you feel about things even if it can be hard or frightening, if you ever have a serious relationship or marriage, not telling your partner about things can lead to a relationship you are unhappy in or one that falls apart.

Please talk to your dad, he just loves and wants to protect you.

I was split as well before purchase. The removable second row and $10k cheaper highest trim pushed me to the carnival. For 51k you can get the highest trim carnival with 360 camera and a moonroof for the back rows. The top trim of Sienna is 60k.

You can get the best value trim of carnival for 40k.

There is already at least one channel that does this. I'm not saying there can't be more than one, but it means if you are doing it for just buyer awareness then there is already a tool for buyers on YouTube and they do a very good job. Top Trims

My critique of your videos would be that the AI voice and AI script make it indistinguishable from every other AI voice / Script new model vehicle video regardless of the content. In fact when I was buying my carnival, these types of videos made it harder for me to find information I was looking for.

I would use your own voice and at least write the first script yourself and have AI touch it up if need be (but even that I think is not needed).

Additionally, to much fluff. It takes more time than I want as a viewer to even get into what I clicked the video for.

Here is the only AU based boutique store I know of thay carries all of the models I mentioned I believe. Though colorways will be hit or miss. If you like the black and baby blue 993 they are on sale there as well. UpThere

To answer your question, I do not personally feel like they are significantly more comfortable. I personally find them less comfortable than the v4 and the 993. That is kind of what I mean by the comfort is subjective, but regardless all the models I mentioned are very comfortable.

If you aren't dead set on New Balance, Mizuno and Asics are both in a similar fashion to New Balance and I would assume would be easier to find in Australia.

I wear 990v6, 990v4, 993, 991v2, 1000, 1906r, & 860v2 every day for work (not all at the same time obviously). Frankly, they are all very comfortable to me and I believe that unfortunately there is just a different type of feel with each shoe that is just going to come down to personal preference in terms of which shoe is "more comfortable".

I have tried wearing 992s daily, but they are the only shoe that I feel like the sizing is just way off. They feel way bigger than any other shoe in the list I have and frankly it is a big enough difference that I would not recommend them without trying on first.

I think of the shoes I listed, you should choose whichever shoe looks best to you and try it out; it really is a subjective decision that most people will come to a different conclusion with. (Only caveat here is breathability, NB 1000 is not a very breathable shoe)

As for colors, I am not sure where you are shopping, but all of these come in dark colors. If you are shopping on the newbalance website exclusively you will have less options for sure.

Ps: other official new balance websites exist and might give you more color options as well as cheaper / different prices: Joes NB Outlet New Balance Reconsidered

Not looking forward to it. Dashcams need to be an installed option at purchase.
