With three toddlers, you’re sure to find a free continental breakfast between the seat cushions/under the floor mats.

LOL, this is true! And a good number of crayons that melted into the carpeting.

I thought it was interesting because it came to the inevitable conclusion that the wagon is the better choice for driving and efficiency, but it blew past in an aside the fundamental advantage of the GLE for parents: it's wider and the back seat thus has more room for car seats.

The back seat width is a noticeable advantage on the X5. as is the flatter rear floor (less driveline hump) that makes sitting in the middle less miserable. The X5's back seat is pretty decent.

I didn’t have this problem in my Armada. My family room couches, however...
