<prompt> Human: Heres the situation. My wife currently have a 13 months old daughter and plan on having a second child in the next 2-3 years. Her family lives about 3 hours away from us so when we travel day we usually stay at her parents for a few days. As parents on this sub may realize, there is a LOT of stuff we need to bring and our Elantra GT 5 doors is already packed when we go there. We cant fit a second car seat on such a trip.Now we have this car on a lease I know.. ending in April of next year and we are considering different options. Im not sure weve thought of all options but here goes:1 purchase our current leased car 5900 and deal with this potential problem if and when it happens. This could potentially involve selling the car at a future time when we need to buy another. Alternatively, we could rent an SUV when we make longer trips but from preliminary research this would cost us about 130 per day plus taxes and other costs.2 change car at the end of the lease period. This would incur costs as the car was lightly damaged chips, scratches, light bumper scratches from careless drivers in parkings and I did not take the leasers insurance on that. We do not have the finances to outright purchase a car or even make a significant down payment. On top of that, larger cars e.g. SUBs are significantly more expansive and we would have to take a loan on it...Im just curious what this sub thinks on how to deal with this situation in a way that makes sense financialy. My wife wants us to look into an SUV at the end of our lease, I am leaning rather towards purchasing our car at the end of our lease and only dealing with the purchase of a larger car if and when we have a second child, which could give us a few years to save up and make a larger downpayments on the next car well buy.  <response>: About the lot of stuff we need to bring. Been there, done that, so understand what you mean.If you go fairly often to her parents place - look at whether it makes sense to leave a second set of certain things in a suitcase there, instead of carrying everything back and forth. Clothes for instance, or some toys for the kids. Additionally - if theres a specific brand of baby supplies diapers and so on - it may make sense to buy a smaller pack there rather than carrying all from here, if that saves you a substantial amount on not changing the car, or renting.You can fit in two car seats; the problem is of fitting in the other stuff. Also look into uStimpy666 suggestion of a rooftop carrier or a trailer, or rack, if that works better.
