Vehicle options for a family of nine?

We test drove a Chevy Suburban.  You can get one with the bench front seat so that it does have seat belts for nine passengers.  However, the middle front passenger does not have an airbag. 

I test drove a 12 passenger Nissan van.  Very nice - not much of a church van feel to it but the head rests blocked being able to see out of the rearview mirror.  The dealer did say that could modify the backup camera so you could see behind you while driving but it is not a good viewing camera.

So, we did find a third option that we are going to order for our Ford Expedition EL.  You can add a four row or a jump seat (or two) in the back. www.littlepassengerseats.com  Each seats is specifically designed for mounting in a specific vehicle and complies with the Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.  So paying about $700 for a jump seat versus buying a new or newer vehicle.
