Thanks for all the support....and you are correct Liquid I will not give into the Van-Side!!
(The wife had an early ultrasound on Friday and it's definitely twins and identical, she is about 9 weeks in. A few more weeks for another to make sure they are seperated and all that good stuff!)
On the flip side I pulled the two toddler car seats we have and put them in the MDX with the booster seat. No way is it going to fly. Not enough room for the 4.5 year old to sit with room, plus it will be a squeeze for her to get in and out. And I can't have it in the third row since she would have to flop over the back of the second row to get to the seat.
OH well I have enough time to really research, test drive and figure out what to get!

I looked at the Suburban/Yukon and the Buick Enclave today. The Enclave looks like it might fit the bill perfectly. I can have 2 Captain chairs in the second row and the 3 row has a 60/40 split. So plenty of room to have my 4-5 year old just walk right into the back and have plenty of room.

The center capt seats are nice, we have had those as well. Just keep in mind that the 07 and newer Suburbans/Tahoes (so I would imagine their "sister" vehicles too) have a button to flip the seats out of the way. There is a button just behind the doors near the middle seats, as well as one up front that the driver can reach, too. That makes in and out easy as well. 
Just something to keep in mind as you shop. Good luck!

I'm all about the Suburban! We don't have little ones anymore, but we have two 15 year olds, a 17 year old, and a 1 year old grandson. Great for trips cross country to visit family. Can load lots into it and on the roof rack. Occasionally we go "trippin" without kiddies, take the way back seat out and take the dogs for a weekend get away!

Might be tough getting into the garage LOL!
Next week I am going to look at the Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada, both of those have Capt chair 2nd row as well.

I've fallen in love with the Nissan XTerra. I want one, dammit!
Been looking for another car for sooo long... God knows when it might even actually happen, though.
