    Default 5 or more kids what car?

    We currently have a chrysler grand voyager but was wondering what car everyone has with 5 or more kids? Taragos have an extra seat to ours so wondering if we should go for that as I still want a spare seat after new bubs comes for the kids friends for now and eventually we plan on fostering.

    Was wondering if theres anything bigger though without going minibus lol

    Thanks

    I have a Mitsubishi Delica - it's basically a turbo deisel 4wd version of a starwagon. It's a japanese import. I love it!!! I have the eight seater, though you can get them in a seven.

    ETA Have a fab day on Saturday!!

    My freind is a daycare mum and just bought a 10 seater Mercedes bus from a resort in Nth Qld really cheap. You would have plenty of spare seats then.
    Last years model Kia Carnival has eight seats.

    Hi ,MummyCharmzy, i have 9 kids and we have a mitsubishi starwagon an 8 seater one, as well as another station wagon, my DH didn't like the kia carnival, he wanted to get something a little more established,but i think the new updated kia is a little better than the old one.Good luck with your purchase.

    I used to have a kia carnival (older model one) and I didn't like it. Not enough grunt under the bonnet to get up hills etc, especially carrying so many bottoms.

    We have a nissan pathfinder atm and I love it, its a 7 seater and very comfy. We are also looking at upgrading to a toyota prado which is an 8 seater (if I can convince DH to let me have bubba #6 ) The VW kombis are also pretty nice looking for a people mover.

    Good luck ttc!!! And congratulations on your wedding!!! Valentine
