Kids and Cargo in the X5 - Struggling

[jsoto]

It's that time of the season.....

Just curious how do you guys haul the grocery getter around when you head out with the kids..

Got tow hitch so I'm hemming and hawing at rooftop box, or just a soft bag, rear hitch cargo box, and the plethora of options that are out there. NONE of which I'm akin on. Lookswise, I'm feeling a cargo basket, but eh, the noise and grime.

Trunkwise, between a 75 Gallon Orca Coolerbox, and a Kids Wagon, we opt out leaving the stroller at home . It leaves some extra minimal space in the trunk for the personal stuff and all that jazz.

Or do you guys have a Expedition as your weekend driver ;-)
