 With small kids this is a dream. I previously had a 2015 Dodge Journey and I'll tell you what, the Sedona is a luxury ride compared to that.   The Sedona has so much room, easy to get my kids in and out of car seats, the air conditioning works excellent in the back seats which is so important for me since I live in Phoenix, AZ.  We have the 8 passenger, so we never need to have the rear seats up and that leaves up with a lot of cargo room.  It rides smooth, handles nicely and is comfortable.   My only complaints are, I already had one of the motors replaced on the rear sliding door. (mine is a 2016 with 18,000 miles) Without  a warranty it would have been over $1,000 at the dealership I went to. Also,  The sound system is beyond cheap.. totally poor quality & there is no navigation and no power lift-gate (which I feel should be standard on a minivan)   All in all my husband and I were those people that said we would never drive a mini van yet we are both  bummed we didn't purchase this before we wasted money when we bought the dodge.
