American parents with four or more young kids. What do you drive to fit all those car seats?

1. A Cadillac

2. Most families in that situation have at least one: full size SUV, minivan, full size van, full size crossover

3. Not a parent, but one of my coworkers have four kids. They have a BMW X7 to haul the kids around (also the mom’s car) while my coworker has a little Fiat 500 Abarth because he likes fun little manual cars.

4. Clown car.

5. To be fair, we have 3 small children… However, We have a Toyota 4Runner. I fucking love it, my wife likes it enough. I don’t really think she cares what she drives as long as it’s reliable, and Toyota is as reliable as they come.

6. There are a lot of cars for sale in the US that can fit 4 car seats.

   Minivans, mid sized SUVs, and full sized SUVs can all do it pretty easily.

   We don’t have 4 kids, but we regularly move around 4 kids when you include nieces and nephews.

   Full sized SUV for us (GMC Yukon), because we tow trailers with it too.

   My wife doesn’t drive much so the abysmal gas mileage doesn’t impact us too adversely.

7. Toyota Sienna

8. Honda Pilot (seats 8) for the first few years with 4. Now a Toyota Highlander (seats 8.) My husband drives a 6 seater Toyota Tundra- 2 full bench seats.

9. I know a family with 10 kids. Full size van and if the entire family is going someplace, 2 vehicles. They rarely do because coordinating that many people is an event.

10. I had three 4 years old and under kids… had to do minivan.

    Plus we camp and nothing’s better for tent camping than a van.
