What kind of vehicle is best for being a new mom

It might get a little annoying if it's high off the ground to put the baby in the truck all the time, a lot of arm muscle! I took the plunge and bought a mini-van, I didn't want to but it's so much more practical for having a baby with all the stuff you bring along especially on trips

I have six boys, and I really love having a mini-van. I think a truck will work if you are taller. I am only 4 foot eleven, so it would be a hassle for me to try to get a baby in and out of a truck.

It is generally preferred (as being safer) that a child ride in his/her seat in the middle of the back seat of the vehicle. In a four-door or extended-cab pickup, that is possible, but if your F150 is a standard cab, that isn't possible - not saying that the child would not be safe restrained in an approved child seat in the pickup - just that it is not necessarily the preferred method. You will have enough expenses with a new child - without purchasing a different vehicle. I would wait to see how things work out once the baby has arrived and then decide if and when you wish to make a change. Should you decide to change vehicles, I think that mini-vans are by far the easiest vehicles to get children in and out of - especially when they are small enough to be restrained in child seats.
