The boys aren't sad about this one bit. Three car seats will not fit in the back of my Jeep. So it's time to upgrade to a minivan! Yikes, that feels so grown up and all!
If anyone has suggestions on make/model/year, I'd appreciate it!
Unfortunately, the local classifieds are pretty sparse, and the ones we can find are either too new (2007-2008) or too old (1996-2000) and straddle either side of our price range! It's pretty frustrating.
So if any of you know of good places to look for used cars, please chime in!
P.S. I've tried AutoTrader and a few other online places that I Googled for. Our best luck has been with Craigslist. Still, most of them seem to be for dealerships, which we'd like to avoid.

If it were me, I'd stick with Honda or Toyota...
I just looked on cars.com, and there is a 2002 Honda Oddysey for $7995! Check out cars.com. I like it...
Bryce says listen to Erin. Toyota or Honda!
Congrats on your new news! Three kids is a handful. We are still driving our Jeep around, but it is getting pretty tight in the back. Our car is much bigger. I am jealous you are getting a minivan. I would stick with a Toyota or Honda too, but a few of my friends have KIA's and love them, maybe more for their price.
We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE our KIA Sedona. It is a 2006, and we could not ask for a better van. It is easy to get into the back with, both sides have sliding doors, the back seats fold down into the floor of the van, and the captain chairs are removable. So, good if you occasionally need to move seats around. Call me if you have any questions, but I would highly recommend it to anyone.
two things I would want in a van would be roll down windows in the back and both back doors open. I do not own a van but we have rented a kia it was nice, and my sis has a honda it is nice but older so windows do not slide down. best of luck car hunting.
We rented a Dodge Caravan a while back when Trav's car was in the shop. I don't really like Dodge (could be jaded after working for them for 4 years) but I LOVED the extra room, the automatic sliding doors at the press of the button, and the folding seats, and handled like a dream (Was an ugly van, though).
Matt called it his time machine and still talks about wanting a minivan. One day I might.
