My wife and I are taking our son,daughter-in-law and 20 mo. old grandchild for a short vacation in Florida in a few months. We have a place down there. We'll be flying into Fort Myers Airport. They will be needing a car seat,stroller, hight chair, and crib to use down there, which we can rent from a co. that rents this stuff. They will bring the furniture to the airport, and we can bring it back to the airport when we leave. So, the question is----which minivan will hold luggage for four people, and all this baby furntiture and safely put a car seat in the van? Has anyone out there ever done this? I would like to know.
Thanks
Thanks for the tips, everyone. We'll weigh the choices. I think the Town and Country and the Odyssey seem to win out.

Just 2 thoughts...a full sized crib? What about a pack n' play? And what about one of those $12 plastic booster seats that fit on a regular chair instead of a high chair?
Just thinkin' space wise...
Just wanted to add that when we have rented "baby gear" while on vacation, they usually bring it right to the house, condo, etc.....just a thought that might help. Have fun!
I have a grand caravan and have fit 2 adults and three kids (2 in boosters, one in rear facing) while transporting a 36" wide bathroom vanity (in the box), mirror, and
matching small wall cabinet.
Although probably any mini-van could do this.
Pick the prettiest one?
Oh, remember: no drop side cribs.
I'm with Emily on this one. Pack & Play and booster(instead of high chair). As far as vans go, I love the Honda Odyssey and wish I had one. They have a nice deep cargo area and the rear seats will fold down as well. Enjoy your vacation!!!
We have a Honda Oddsey and are very happy with it.
Any minivan will do that as long as it has a luggage rack to hold the luggage...but remember, it only has a 100 lbs weight capacity. It also depends on the style of furniture you're getting--is it the fold away kind or is it the big/bulky type. I'm not quite following why you have to rent this stuff. What's wrong with a pack & play? How old is the little one you're getting the high chair for? We just used the infant seat to feed with if we were on a vacation or left them sit in a regular chair while we fed them if they were out of the infant seats.
