We have a Pilot. I can easily fit a Chicco KeyFit infant seat, and 2 graco turboboosters in the middle row. I use the 3rd row almost daily or at least the smaller side of it. The kids I am transporting are old enough to buckle themselves so climbing back to assist them hasn't been an issue. We have been very happy with our Pilot, but it can be tight with 3 kiddos. It would be nice to be able to separate them a bit on longer trips, but with the 3rd row in use, there is very little cargo room. Our gas mileage has been great, averaging around 19 for mostly in town driving. Good Luck in your decision.
