Six words....forget the Accord, buy a van. Realistically, there is no getting around this. The issue here is that you will not be transporting just a baby, but you will be transporting a baby and e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g else that comes with having a young child.....diapers, formula, multiple outfits, car seat, pack-n-play, bouncy-type seat with mobile thingys floating so child can try and grab, etc., etc., etc. Add the two dogs and MIL, plus the possibility of having another child, and you can see where this is going to lead. Just plan to buy a van and keep it for at least a decade.
