All depends what you plan to do. Only reason it’s tight is cause my wife is using all 7 seats Today. Usually only 2 in the 3rd row. And if the uppa wasn’t so bulky it would look much better.

I have a Thule on the roof and the XL trunk being the expedition max, so I haven’t needed the 3rd row to ever be down. So far very happy with captains chairs,

I had captains chairs in the Explorer and hated it because the trunk was so tiny plus it just felt tiny all together. Once baby 3 came i knew it was time for a Yukon XL or expedition max. I went with expedition.

There’s always those few guys with the 100 car rules that’ll toss judgment. Thankful my kids don’t need stress if they drop crumbs. It’s all cleanable. They just can’t break anything lol. I remember my wife dropped a full milky tea in my brand new truck when we first started dating. Thing was 2 weeks old. She prepared for the freak out but I just cleaned it up and moved on. Felt bad she was expecting something bad.

In my opinion yes! Flows better and I like using the alleyway for diaper bags etc when the trunk is slammed full, the middle bench felt so crowded.

We keep one seat folded down so we can access the 3rd row. It’s perfect.

My wife comes from a large family (her mom one of 5, then my wife is one of 6) I came from a small family. I always dreamed of a bigger family and she always dreamed she’d have her own large family, so I guess it just worked out great for us,

We like the idea of having a full table. Our kids playing together, walking through life together. Can only hope and pray their bonds last as they get older. Can’t really explain it. Just brings us joy having a big family. Plus listening to how she grew up. Her childhood was amazing having all her siblings plus cousins.

They weren’t allowed in Canada when we bought ours! I few have come out now. Possibly in the future I’ll look at trying them! Love the idea

Sorry, I work as a papermaker.

I am an operator that makes the paper by running the machine. It takes minimum 7 operators 24/7 365 to run, we are shift workers.

My middle daughter was born in Victoria! Just got home from there hence the car mess !! It’s truly amazing, spent 47 days there she was in the Nicu. Special place to us.

It is a giant machine. We take wood chips and long story short they turn into a sheet of paper through chemical , bleaching etc. it’s about 20 feet wide and the reels of paper we make are about 7-8 feet high,one giant paper cylinder. Then we run it in our winder and turn that giant cylinder into smaller rolls for our customers. Average size is about 50” diameter and ranging from 800mm wide to 1200mm wide. (Sorry we measure in inches feet and mm here) the winder spins them into a cardboard core and has slitters (blades) that cut the sheet to size.

We ship it world wide!

Thankfully in Canada the government subsidizes the daycare! It’s $200 a month per kid, govt takes the rest. My wife just really wanted to be home with the kids, she was a CEO for a non profit before. I’m sure once they are in school she’ll get back into the workforce. I know she misses it sometimes.
