Need car recommendations for growing family!!

We have a pacifica, but it has pilot seats in the second row so I won't be able to put the 3 kids behind me, one of them will have to go all the way in the back, which is really close to the back liftgate and I fear if we ever gor rear ended whoever is in the back would get hurt.
We are looking at the Tahoe, the navigator, the sequoia or the land cruiser, any recommendations?!!

It is like having 2 front seats in the back seat, they are not connected, they are separate.

Yes!! That's it!! Not pilot chairs, CAPTAIN's chairs, the baby has definitely sucked out my brains this time.

I don't want to do a mini-van, just not ready for that, I want to do an SUV.

I have a trailblazer EXT (has the 3rd row) and I don't have kids yet but I think it will be great for a growing family esp. that 3rd row for carpooling.

How about looking at a GMC Envoy XL? My brother has one for his 3 kids and he loves it.

Re: Need car recommendations for growing family!!

My SIL has a suburban (which is like a Tahoe) And I love it. The Suburban has the two Captain bucket seats in the middle. I think I remember her saying that she like the Suburban better cause it had that and the Tahoe didn't. She has 4 kids so need a larger car too. HEHE...
