Replying to: bobw3 (May 16, 2007 3:10 pm) "I'd go for the Sienna with bench in your situation because that would be plenty wide, and it's not much bigger then the Freestyle (which I own by the way)" Sienna is a nice vehicle, but drive it carefully, and be sure to take a couple of sharp turns. Toyotas tend to have suspension set up for soft ride. While the vehicle won't roll over in a turn, it may feel like it will roll over. The FS, in contrast, has a firm ride, well under control. In my opinion it doesn't need stability control. Replies to this message: freealfas (May 31, 2007 8:33 am)

Replying to: jahnu04 (May 15, 2007 8:02 am) We have a 05 FS with 40/60 bench in the 2nd row. We travel with my 5 yr old grandson (booster seat) and 3 yr old granddaughter who is in a car seat. With 3 adults, the 5yr old goes in the 3rd row by himself. 2 car seats and an adult in the middle of the 3rd row is not comfortable unless it's a small adult.
