As someone who has traveled way to many miles with a sibling that gets car sick (too this day), I have to agree. Anything that prevents her from looking forward sets it off. Including rear facing seats on DC Metro. Although you would be amazed how fast space clears up when a woman says “I’m going to puke if I can’t…

I have a 740 wagon with the rear facing seat and it’s neat in some ways and restricting in others. Definitely cooler to ride in. But only if you’re a kid because if you’re not a child then you can’t fit back there. The other drawback is that you have to get rid of all the stuff in the back before you can use the seat.…

What... no inward facing jump seats??

I’m fairly motion sickness prone, and was a child in the 70's so plenty of car pooling was done in wagons with rear facing seats, and I don’t remember ever getting sick sitting in one.

My aunt always wanted to buy a used limo with the divider and put us cousins in the back and let us kill each other.

Despite my first comment, this was my actual thought.

Rear-facing is better. That way, your children can SEE irresponsible, texting drivers nearly plow into them. This repetitive exposure to their own mortality at a young age frees them from their basest fears, allowing them to truly become their best selves.

Looking out the rear is cool and different, though I gather that it exacerbates some people’s tendency toward carsickness. (And for the sake of the little energy absorbers sitting in the third row, hopefully rear crash safety is a lot better now than it was in the early 70s!)

BOTH ARE WRONG.

I was thinking of a neighbor that got backed into a ditch with a Rubicon and didn’t know how to shift it into 4WD.

yep.

Here’s my suggestions

This is a good one, because most of the owners also have AR iconography on their vehicles already.

Minivans have many design advantages over your typical TSW, like flat floors and big sliding doors.

In the immortal words of Michael Bolton...

ARs? Adventure Rigs?

Yeah no. Crossovers are crossovers not SUV’s. SUV’s are SUV’s. We already have everything we need but aren’t using it right. Maybe we don’t really deserve either name..
