I have a GMC Acadia and LOVE it! It has 3 rows and fits 3 carseats and a few boosters (for when we have friends) comfortably.
Hi everyone-
I just found out I am PG with my third baby and now I need a truck that will hold 3 car seats. When the baby arrives my oldest will be 3 1/2, my middle almost 2 and a newborn. Are there any trucks, suv's that hold 3 across? Otherwise I will have to get something with a 3rd row. Any info you could share would be appreciated!

I highly recommend something with a third row. If you older two are anything like mine... they won't be able to keep their hands of the little one. Not to mention as they get bigger they'll have more room to spread out. Car rides are alot more peaceful here since I have the option to rotate who's in the way back... and who has to sit closer to Mommy!!! LOL! Best wishes!!!

I believe you could fit 3 seats across the back seat of my Dodge Durango.
Chevy Avalanche. Also get a quote from your insurance before you decide, there could be a huge difference in premium, especially since F150's and Silverado's are high theft (at least in AZ!). Good luck!!
As much as I was against getting one, I love our Chrysler Town and Country mini van. I think it's the only way to go with 3 kids because you can easily get to the 3rd row. We also have an Acura MDX, which has a 3rd row, but it's really tiny and I wouldn't put a child in it on a regular basis.
I love my GMC Acadia. Third row with plenty of room.
I have a chevy silverado extended cab it holds 3 car seats well. I recommend the crew cab doors however because whoever designed the extended cab doors never tried getting kids in cars parked on both sides. Or at the grocery store trying to get your stuff in... its a pain. But it is big enough for sure.
It is nice to know there are other moms out there that don't think Oh I have a baby now so must run out and buy a minivan! LOL
Congrates on baby number 3. Hope this helps :)
I have an extended cab f150. Love the truck but as the last post said it's a pain to get in and out of with cars on both sides. I end up looking for a parking space where no one can park on one side. It would be even worse with more than one child.
Congratulations! I think this was the most stressful concern when I got pregnant with my 3rd too.
My 3 children are also 3-1/2 years apart. At first we put 3 seats across our Dodge Magnum - two Sunshine Kids Radian 65 carseats for the older kids, and the Graco Snugride for the newborn (when she outgrew the carrier, we got the Chicco seat) - all are the "skinniest" seats on the market. When my baby turned 1 there wasn't room to turn her seat around so we bought a Chevy Traverse (2 months ago). It has 3 rows and fits our bigger, more comfortable Britex Roundabout carseats. My oldest just turned 5, but is too small for a booster still so he still uses his Sunshine Kids seat.
The good news is, that this was the only real issue that I had when we added our 3rd. We didn't really have to buy anything else since we still had everything from our first 2 babies.
Good luck!
