As you pack the Subaru for a road trip just keep murmuring the phrase, "if ya don't fit, you stay home." Follow this with the phrase, "squish the child and you will feel my wrath." Works like a charm!
Our biggest load yet? Subaru Forester, 3 berners, two adults, two kids, 3 pairs of skis and luggage with BARF diet for all! Trip was a total blast and we were very happy to have had the Subaru to navigate the snow vs. our van. Jolie Kaufmann-Laker
