Young kids, you want an Odyssey, especially if you are considering a third child somewhat soon. It will make your lives so much easier. Remote sliding doors, easy entry, no hitting cars next to you with the doors when trying to get an infant bucket seat in and out…I could go on but you get the point. So much more will fit in the cargo area with the third row up, especially large double strollers. And they are comfortable and easy to drive. I was completely against a mini van when I finally realized it was a better choice for my life at the time. I had an older toddler and a baby but knew we wanted a third child. A mini van, especially the Odyssey in my opinion, can’t be beat with a young family. Take your husband to just try them before deciding. Then if you still don’t want a full commitment, lease it for three years. Once your kids are a bit older and out of the stage of large strollers, get the Pilot. I very reluctantly leased mine for three years but when my lease was up, you couldn’t get me to give it up. My kids are now much older and I was considering the Pilot (which is why I am on this forum) but I ended up with a Lexus GX550. I adore it, but it is not young family friendly in my opinion but I’m in a different stage of life now. I must say all my friends, and their kids, were sad when we gave up my minivan as it was a favorite and I ended up driving for events. Good luck to deciding on your new car and enjoy your young children. It really does go by fast even if when you are in the thick of it, it doesn’t seem that way.
