| For what it's worth, I'll throw my two cents in (again):
I drove vans (Chryslers and Fords) for 17 years with two kids (babies through to teens) and a dog. While I absolutely adore my R, I would not get one if I had two or more babies. Despite what anyone can tell you about "apparent" space, the total capacity of a van far outstrips the volume of the R.
You will get a LOT more gear into a van. Simple as that. |
