I would get a new Toyota Sienna AWD fully loaded including DVD & NAV (about $40k)!!
If a minivan is totally out of the question, M-B GL450 for its room & AWD.

I like the GL but how does it perform in the snow? I live in Colorado. I really like the X in the snow so I'm hoping the GL or the Audi performs the same. I'm sure I'm going to get low balled by the dealer on a trade in for her X3. I agree with everyone that my life just took a huge turn! I'm sure it will be great. I'm just trying to plan ahead so I don't have a heart attack in a few months trying to figure this out!

I saw some more car seats tonight and I saw about 3 different brands that would def fit in both the X5/X3. As far as the strollers go, I know they would fit in the X5. The X3 would be a little tight but would work.

SHI#&%#!@T! All of this is coming to fast!!!!!

- you will be glad you have a minivan with that much kid loading & unloading. Good luck.

My advice: Forget about SUVs, no matter how large they are. You may not like it, but Mini-Van is the only way to go.

Imagine that it is pouring rain outside, or snowing heavily in a blizzard.... and imagine buckling your kids one by one... not fun, right?

Now imagine getting all your kids into the mini-van and close the doors immediately. Then take all the time you want getting them settled and all buckled up safely in the warm comfortable enclosed environment without dealing with all the rain and snow. And you can then slip into your driver's seat without getting out of the car.

So it's not just the extra room and luggage space, it's how you can use it as mobile diaper change room, or even mobile washroom if you kids are boys . No SUVs allow you to do that.

This would be my recommendation too.

It is not fun buckling them up in a bad weather. However, SUV are much safer than minivans, good for all seasons. THink about safety first !

We have already debunked that myth. Some minivans are safer than some SUV's and vice versa.
