We love our CRV, but yes, with two car seats, there wouldn't be much space for a third adult.

I currently drive a Honda CR-V but I had a Honda Accord for years. It's surprisingly quite roomy in the back! I was able to tow three dogs around in the backseats. It was great on gas, had a good sized trunk and my Hondas have always been really reliable and never had any issues. I'd still have it if my dad didn't pass down my last car (Corolla) to me.

Check out the Toyota Prius - it now comes in 4 versions:
original, smaller, larger, and van!

Check the larger, and the van. Here is a place to start:

Check out the Scion xB. Not much cargo space though, and don't know about the baby seats in the back in regards to room. I can get quite a bit of groceries in my cargo area.

The Ford Flex looks good, too., Traditional Station wagon but with a different look.

I love my Scion XB.

We have a Toyota Sienna and love it. The boys both sit in the middle row and we keep the back row down. It fits the stroller, groceries, etc nicely. I honestly can't imagine trying to fit someone in the back seat of a car with 2 carseats. Would someone be riding back there often? If you plan on having someone in the backseat with the 2 carseats often, I'd opt for a bigger vehicle. If it's only the rare occasion you'll have someone back there, you can probably get away with a smaller car.

Also, to cut down on size of the cargo I'll be lugging around, I'm planning on getting a Sit and Stand type stroller rather than a bulky double stroller. With my two kids now, I only have a single stroller, but with a third on the way I'm planning on getting a new stroller that will hold two kids.
