Thanks guys for me I might go a trooper cannot see Sarah driving one.

a tidy 100 would be good, Bluey just bought one

Yep, perhaps a bit of rethink. Get yourself an older robust 7 seater (troopy, 100s series, patrol, cruiser, whatever) and then upgrade the family vehicle to something Sarah can comfortably drive day to day (Carnival, Territory, Tarago, people mover whatever).

Airbags aren't largely designed for people in seats as @Fabulous suggests and kids should be well restrained and protected within them regardless. More important once they become bigger kids. If it's a short trip anyhow, you could feasibly take two cars and still be well ahead even considering fuel costs over an expensive new car. Longer trips you can still take one.

Then when the kids are out of seats, you are only upgrading an older tractor which owes you nothing.

Just a thought anyhow.

@Smergen be a good get around town car ;) maybe I put a tray on it and take the mini with us as well;)
Seen a few motor homes built on these which are interesting.

Mate, I'm dead serious on this one. Pick up a cheap family taxi to do the run around town, and then this thing as a tourer. If you're not going hardcore off road, this will get you where you need to go. And it'd do it reasonably easily as well. Stacks of room.

It ticks your seating and towing requirements.
