Default Will It Baby?

Hi all,

I've just had my first child and so far the GX has been great. I was looking for feedback on how life has been with one or two kids in the GX. Any updates/changes you'd make, and general feeling towards it.

Thanks!

Has been our "Kid Car" since the beginning ... GX470 ... and now a GX460 ... the only thing ... the 3rd Row Seats are good up to 14-15 years old ... beyond that, one needs to able to "Bust a Yoga Move" for access, and then be somewhat cramped while seated. If only using the 2nd Row Seats ... no better vehicle ... unless you want to do the Mini-Van "Soccer Mom" thing.

Side note: If using the 3rd Row Seats ... there is ABSOLUTELY NO luggage capacity behind those seats ... yes, 3-4 overhead sized suitcases will fit, but anything larger is almost impossible. 3rd Row Seats in the down position ... enough cargo capacity ... no problem.

Recently added a child to our family. No issues so far (went from a Doona to a Nuna carseat), first road trip was tight with cargo loadout but we managed to make it all fit (including a full size collapsible stroller, collapsible crib, etc...)
Like real life Tetris, It babies just fine.
Enjoy!

It's not a big vehicle inside so go in knowing some smart packing may be needed.

The GX is about as perfect as you can get for a “family car”. Plenty enough room in the 2nd row for rear and forward facing car seats and ample diaper / kid carry bags + cargo. It’s been a dream while our daughter grows up and transitions from rear to forward facing and soon booster seat. Despite the above it is actually very easy to park and has extremely good visibility. The turning radius is insanely good in these.
