Jumping to a minivan: Painful or pleasant?
Were you embarrassed the first time you had to drive one? How about your husband?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With the new baby coming any day, we have joined the ranks of minivan drivers.
I managed to fit all three car seats across my Aztek’s backseat, but it was really difficult to lock my daughter’s seatbelt on her booster and equally as difficult to drag the infant seat across the booster seat into the middle position.
So we decided we would need a minivan.
I am personally excited about it because I know it’s going to make my life easier. It will be easy to get them in and out. I won’t have to worry about them “sharing” their small toys with the baby because they won’t be able to reach the baby. Also they kept putting their trash in the empty infant seat between them. (I kept telling them: “You can’t dump you trash on the new baby!”)
How did you feel when you made the jump to a minivan? Were you excited or embarrassed? Was your husband onboard or more ashamed than you? Is it a necessary part of parenting? How else can you accommodate three car seats comfortably?
