Hi,
We have had 3 suv's since we had our second child. I have liked all of them and they all have had a full frame which is important for safety. Gmc Jimmy, Tahoe(which we still have) and an Avalanche which is the only one we all fit in since we have the twins. The only problem with the Avalanche is that there is not a lot of space in the vehicle for storage. Things need to go in the trunk which is not accessable from the truck.
Good luck and congrats!
Tracy-mom to Brandon 16, Hannah 5 and Kyle and Caitlin 6 months

Hi Mike!
We had a Jeep Cherokee when we just had our older 2 children. I swore that I'd never drive a mini van. But I had to bite the bullet when we found out that we were going to have 4 children instead of 2. I have heard that Ford Expiditons are fantastic. I only with they were in our budget. Good luck on finding another vehicle, and with the babies.

We are expecting twins the first week of November and were also looking at the XC90. I'd suggest reviewing the consumer report reviews - it had a "poor" reliability rating and that's one of the reasons why we decided against the XC90. The Acura MDX is a good alternative - same price range and "mid-sized" SUV classification.
