A sad day may come soon to get rid of my 3. With another kid on the way there is no way I'm fitting two carseats and anything else in this car.

The other fact is buying a boat, with a pickup on it's last leg, I'm gonna need something reliable to tow.

I am so in love with this car and it shames me to part with it.

But on that note, does anybody have any positive oppinions on a suv, 7 seats a plus, that is reliable and good to tow?

Sad to hear that. But you're a Ford kinda' guy! What about a Flex?
Or, you could get rid of the boat and the truck, and keep the Mazda? You should be able to get two kid seats back there. My step-daughter has an old Cavalier 2-dr and she does it.

I'm actually not a Ford guy, the truck was cheap and convenient.
The boat was a gift, and I'm really looking forward to using it.
And third, a rear facing carseat is gonna be a challenge in this car, I'm not moving my seat up and trying to crunch my 6'2" self in this car.
We even had problems with that in our Jeep Liberty.

I would love to keep the Mazda and get another vehicle, but can't afford two car payments at this time.

This blows....

Yea, I'm just to irresistable to my wife, and something about trying to keep the kids close in age, I dunno I wasn't listening to that, all I was doing was enjoying myself.

I still have the F-150, I only gave 300 bucks for it. It was more of a gift than anything.
