Eco-Blogger Kristen Chase is soon expecting her third child, and has become quite aware of the difficulties inherent in trying to negotiate automotive seating for two car seats and a booster  - and let's not forget to leave room for the parents, and storage for the necessary strollers and baggage that little ones require.

We agree with Kristen when she says nothing puts a hurting on a budget like a new car -- and an eco-friendly one at that! She enthusiastically proclaims, "add in the fact that my husband and I really want something that's eco-friendly and doesn't have the word "VAN" in it and we've got ourselves quite a dilemma."

As part of her research, which has also included test drives of GM's Acadia and Tahoe Hybrid, and Volvo's V-70 Wagon, Kristen has asked me to join her on her parenting podcast Wednesday, July 2, from 9-9:30pm EST to discuss eco- and family friendly cars.

In preparation for the broadcast, Kristin would love to hear from eco-conscious families of five plus -- what car are you driving and what do you think about it? Leave your answer in her comments section  or share them on the Motherhood Uncensored podcast  from 9-9:30pm EST by calling in to 646-915-8634 or chatting at Blog Talk Radio.
