We also got a new (different) car right before we moved. It is a toyota rav 4 and we all like it very much. The benefits are that Emma is not as far away from me, so I can reach back and touch her legs and it is higher off the ground - meaning I don't have to lean over and down to get her in and out! She slept a lot on the way out, but it was still a pretty crazy trip. She actually cut all four of her 1-year-molars while we traveled - this girl just couldn't catch a break!
