Large SUVs

If a midsize SUV just isn't big enough to cut it, the only way is up. Large SUVs tend to swallow three child seats across the back row, and generally have an extra pair of seats for occasional use in the back. Either way, you can bank on plenty of cargo space and excellent all-round practicality.
