They're Spacious
And by spacious, I mean really spacious. In what other kind of vehicle can you fit five car seats AND get to them easily? And say what? You can lift the floors up for added storage space? From double strollers to sports equipment to coolers, there's no such thing as too much space for people with kids.
The Doors Are Magical
No, really. Because of their ability to slide back (instead of out and potentially clobbering someone else's car), minivan doors are perfect for hauling kids in and out with ease. Oh, and many of them open and close with just a touch of a button, which we're sure any mom who's juggled carrying groceries and a squirmy baby can appreciate.
They're Easy to Drive
Especially for those who are intimidated by driving giant trucks, minivans are a breeze in comparison! They are tall enough to make you feel confident but aren't as bulky as a truck—plus, they drive like a sedan. They also get far better gas mileage than a truck.

They Come With Bells and Whistles
Minivans come with serious parent-approved details that anyone would be thrilled to have. From built-in vacuums (bye-bye, stray Cheerios!) to TV screens on the back of each headrest—there's even one minivan out there with a built-in cooler in the trunk! Talk about awesome.
They Grow With the Kids
Minivans are the "it" vehicles for car seat- and stroller-toting families. And as the babies grow into bonafide little kids, minivans also become the one to haul the soccer/baseball/basketball team around in. Fast-forward way down the road (sniff, sniff), and you can just as easily put down the third row and have a ton of space for hauling the big kids to college.
They Are the Ideal Travel Vehicle
Ever wondered how you're going to squeeze in the kids and the luggage on a family road trip? Well, worry no more with a travel-ready minivan. There's no need to rent a car anymore when you have a vehicle that's both spacious and comfortable.
Everyone Can Fit ... Comfortably!
Have you ever tried to fit a long-legged adult in the third row of a SUV? Yeah, no. But in a minivan? Endless space and comfortable captain chairs for all!
