get the new FX

 

I just now finished the install of a new Recaro Young Sport in my back seat.
I swear that seat was designed specifically for the G... fit's awesome!
Feels comfy too.

 

I'd say the truck is "very" small and the stroller depending on the type, may not fit. Check it twice. Our large stroller will either not fit or was so tight I decided not to try a second time, it stays in our SUV. I put a small single umbrella stoller in the back or the G and just leave it and it fits with ease with plenty of extra space. A large double will be very snug if it even fits at all!! The seating is no problem. We have our second child on the way and I see no issues in that arena. Stroller is #1 quesions mark in my mind.

If you already have the stroller take it to the dealer ship and explain your sitaution. Congrats on the twins, that's awesome.

I still have my rental Altima. It's really weird, it's the same size as the G and has a HUGE "JLO" trunk.

 

i could barely fit 4 sets of golf clubs in the trunk of my g. also, if you are going to get navigation you are going to have a cd changer in the trunk which takes away entry space.

 

I was giving my Ronco "set it and forget it" showtime rotisserie to a friend at work, still new in the box.
I went to put it in the trunk this morning, to bring it to work, and it barely fit.
To make matters worse, it almost didn't come back out.

It's a big trunk with a small opening, thanks to the cd changer.

Oh, and it was the "Jr" model too. (LOL)

 

I think you are getting so many responses suggesting something with more space than the G because if the G is your *only* vehicle it is really not that big for a family of 4 and their gear.

If you had the option for a second car then the G would be great! We have a minivan as a second vehicle and I am so glad to have that room more times than I would have expected. There is just SO MUCH STUFF to carry sometimes LOL

Congrats on the twins

 

If you're interested in the RDX, you really need to wait and check out the Infiniti EX35 that should be coming out near the end of this year (if you can wait). This is a model that slots below the FX so it should be in the same price range as an RDX.

If you really want space and features and can't wait till the end of the year, I would highly recommend a Honda Pilot over the RDX. It's cheaper, has MUCH more room and has pretty much all the features you would want.

Here's a link to an article on the Infiniti EX:

The EX looks nice but I'd choose a different interior color for the twins! Congrats. I would also suggest needing a bigger vehicle. I have a six year old girl and a boy on the way, for that I have plenty of room. Because of the tight trunk opening had to shop around for a stroller that would fit. Went with the Phil and ted's. Pricey but very cool! Anyway, with all the stuff you need with two newborns, It would be alot of extra work to have it as your only car. Good luck!

 

Can you imagine going on a vacation or even just a long weekend on the G35 with the twins? "Okay, honey, the twins are seated in the back seat, and their strollers, diapers, etc. are in the trunk. Sorry, I can't fit our luggage. Let's change out vacation plans and go to the beach instead, so we only need to bring swim suits and not our luggage."

Sorry, as great as the G35 is, this is probably the first time I'm saying it isn't the right choice. I'd go for an SUV if you can only have 1 car.

Good luck on your choice, and congratulations!!

 

Mommy brain I will have to pass that onto my wife. She is preg with our first and I got in trouble the other day because I gave her a dirty look when she brought a 'snack' into my new G to eat.
Found it is easier to clean the crumbs than to face an upset preg woman.

 

I also have twins (recently out of booster seats) - Do yourself a favor, don't buy a G. You need to make day-to-day life as easy and convenient as possible. If you can't stomach a van, then get a - FX35!

You are truely blessed. Congrats and good luck!

 

As an explanation of "mommy brain".

Mommy Brain
- copyright 1998 Carlotta Eike Stankiewicz

If you've left the crayons to melt in the car, And forgotten just where the car keys are, There's a perfectly good way to explain: You see, you've come down with "Mommy Brain."

When you're not sure where the past 8 hours went, Or whether the phone bill check's been sent, If you've left the laundry drying in the rain, It's just--you guessed it--Mommy Brain.

If you find yourself chatting for hours on end About diaper prices with your cyberfriends, You've just caught a particularly virulent strain Of that affliction known as Mommy Brain.

If you left your bags at the grocery store Or completely forgot what you went there for, If you called the cat by your baby's name, You can bet that Mommy Brain's to blame.

And if you know the words to "Goodnight Moon" by heart, Or you study your sleeping babe like a work of art, If you're always surprised by how time is flying, And the thought of that first birthday starts you crying.....

It's unavoidable girls, and I feel your pain, For I, too, suffer from Mommy Brain. But I'll admit one thing--of this I'm sure: I hope they never find a cure.

 

See above for the "mommy brain" clarification.

As for the hormone things - just roll with it and don't try to explain it. Any husband knows that look a woman gets warning you to just not go there. ALWAYS LISTEN TO THAT FACE WHEN A WOMAN IS PREGNANT!!! For whatever reason, those hormones that come when pregnant make PMS look like a normal regular day. Sad thing is that she likely won't realize it until LONG after.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

Oh I learned long ago to read those faces The good part is that she does realize it right after she does it...better yet is that she will apologize for it too.

I am lucky!

 

I bought my G back in 2004 when I had 1 kid. There's plenty of room. Now that I have 2 kids, we bought a CRV. We dislike big SUV and van, and we want a car w/ decent mpg. The CRV is perfect. The G will NOT fit all your kid stuff.

Now my G is my weekend toy since I still have my Civic as my commuter.
