Agreed, for space the 7 seater minivan beats the 7 seat Tahoe and the back seats are suitable for adults. Bigger boot with 7 seats in place as well

Size is Everything, apparently
But if you def want a big SUV the Suburban would be better for you

We were thinking of a Suburban, but they are nearly double to price , maybe have to think about booking a 7 seater minivan, seem so boring to an suv though.

Go for the Tahoe it's much better than a 7seater people carrier.

Plenty big enough for a family of 5.

Do what we did and take the back seats out to get a bigger boot. Helps if you've got somewhere to store them mind.

Next Easter we are a group of 5 adults and one child. Spent quite a while researching wether we would be better served by a minivan; Chrysler Town and Country or an SUV; Chevy Tahoe.

My father and I studied the Tahoe at the end of Test Track at Epcot and collectively decided that the back row would not fit adults comfortably. I'm 6'2 and an average build and found it incredibly uncomfortable. No leg room whatsoever and the chairs are almost on the floor so my knees were up high.

When we returned our car to MCO we had a look at the Town and Country; plenty of room on the back row and easier to get in and out of.

No surprise that we booked a minivan :-)

I agree, we had one in 2013, 4 adults. We had four large suitcases going and these fit with back row of seats down and managed to squeeze in another bag for the return. Don't think it would have been big enough for another adult and child.

Alamo Brits - £518 for 23 nights. Will check Alamo Brits and Virgin Alamo every so often to see if I can get it cheaper
