2:2 trade including an xB
 
My wife and I recently had a baby and decided that it was time to trade in her '01 Eclipse and my '05 IIP tC for an '07 Camry and an '08 NB xB... Plenty of room for the car seat and it's nice to save on gas and cost of insurance. I'll miss the tC, but the new xB is plenty of fun for me, especially w/ the kid in the back ;)

yeah its amazing how roomy this little thing is isnt it?....
it seems so big when im driving it... then i park next to a Ford Explorer (which isnt even that big) the other day in a parking lot .. coming back to my car it looked so small next to the Explorer... it was funny looking!! yet the inside is bigger than most of the peoples SUVs iv been in. everyone who sits on my back seats always say"WOW there is so much room back here!" I think there is almost just as much leg room in the back seat as the front! LOL...

There's plenty of room inside, but it's so much shorter than the Camry. I had to rearrange some stuff in the garage to make the Camry fit. On the xB side; however, there's a ton of room in front. The difference is in rear storage. The trunk is huge in the Camry and all the space is vertical in the xB.

Congrats!

Similar car set up to the deal at my house. Wife has an 06 Prius and I have my 08 xB.

Opposite end of the kid scale though.
Trying to get the oldest to get the heck out of the house. :P

That's funny. I just had a kid and traded in my '04 Eclipse for the XB2. Man is it a world of difference for putting in the baby seat. I was throwing out my back just trying to get the seat in and out of the rear of the Eclipse. Not to mention that I don't miss driving around with my head stuck to the roof. And I'm only 5'8"
