"All three will fit in the back just fine"

Okay. Good luck with that.

Have you seen the back seat in a VW? They are fairly spacious. My son's carseat takes up less than the full "seat" in his spot in the back. I dont forsee this being an issue especially if he's in a booster by the time we have our other children.

We've had a mid-size, four-door sedan for carting kids since the first one was a toddler. Works just fine. Before that, we carted him around in a Civic. If you want a mini-van, buy one, but don't be fooled into thinking it's absolutely necessary.

It won't be an issue until they start poking each other and whining about each other being to close. You don't need a larger vehicle just because you have 3 or more kids but it does make life easier.

Yeah, I love rookie parents.

"Mom, he won't stop touching me!"

"Mom, he won't get OFF me!"

"Mom, she took my crayons!"

"Mom, he's on my side!!"

"Mom, he took the baby's pacifier out again!"

"Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!"

Many sedans will not fit 3 car seats across the back seat, but some will. Shop wisely.
