The author recounts their experience of adjusting from a Subaru Outback to the anticipated need for a larger vehicle after the arrival of twins. Initially, they relied on slim car seats and made the Outback work as a family car for outings and road trips. However, as the children have grown, the challenges of shared space in the back seat prompted the desire for a bigger vehicle. After testing a Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, they discovered alternatives to full-size SUVs that fit their needs without overspending.
"After testing a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, I've realized the heralded third row may not be an absolute necessity for my family, and that it’s possible to get more room than in our aging Outback for way less than the cost of a full-size SUV."
"The Subaru Outback was exactly what we needed for the first few years with three kids. The slim car seats fit in one row, and the trunk was perfect for a double stroller, beach bags, or even tiny skis."
