Do you struggle to find room to fit everything for your kids' various activities in the car as you're driving them to sports, music, dance, school, and more? If you've got a large family, you know there's no way you can haul everyone around in a vehicle that seats less than seven. But buying a big car can be a bigger expense than you bargained for, especially if your credit isn't the best.
7 Best Used Vehicles for Big Families
When you need a vehicle to seat seven or more, it may not be realistic to try and buy new. Used cars can still provide the space you need, but at a lower price. Plus, you don't have to sacrifice safety – most of the top rated used SUVs and minivans in this category received high marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and some of them even come with advanced driver assist safety systems.
