Twins!!

..and not the kind you order online or out of Diesel Power magazine, this kind will make you drive slower yet spend a lot more money.......... Well, it looks like the good Lord has decided to bestow twin kiddos to my wife and I. I have a two and half year old daughter that we have a blast with. Found out Thursday that we have not one but two on the way. So, I am sitting hear REALLY REALLY wishing I went with the megcab. Anyone run three child/infant seats across the back of a quadcab? I am of the perspective that I won't own any (primary) car that can't move the whole family. pics would be great. thanks fellas, hope you had a great 4th of July, I DID! (still seeing stars and fireworks from the bus that hit me Thursday)

Congrats, !!! better get some good quality sleep now while you still can.. lol..

I have 2 small daughters with the usual 2 car seats in the back of my Q/C but occassionally we baby sit my little nephew and then a third seat goes in the back. It works well and still some elbow room back there for the kids...

My twin girls turned one and my son turned 3 at the end of march. Three seats fit in the back of my 96 with room to spare. It is alot of work but well worth the trouble.

Congrats! It will fit. I've had my 3 year old son, 16 mo. old son, and 3 year old niece in the back. With twins it will probably be easier with them on the outside seats. That way your oldest can help keep the little ones occupied on long trips.

Congrats! I've got twins 9 yr old boys. I have such a good time w/ them. People will always ask..."how do you do it?", "how do you tell them apart?" etc... Just have fun w/ it. I tell them "we only let one out of the cage at a time" w/ a serious look. lol And the second one I reply "We gave them separate names". It's funny when you can leave them thinking you're serious. lol

I already had one son when the twins came along. I thought the cost would just double haviing the twins. In some strange way, the cost was something like 2.7 times the single kid. Get used to buying everything by the case. At Christmas we'd tell people "we need diapers and formula".

I'm not sure if 3 car seats will fit. but your 2 1/2 year old should be in a booster seat by the time the twins get here. I know that 2 Car seats and booster seat will fit but it's tight.
