Baby on the Way - Jeep has to go?
So, my wife is pregnant. Now, I'm facing the terrible situation of
possibly having to let my 97 TJ Sahara be put up for sale. My wife hates driving the TJ and I'm not sure I feel comfortable having the baby in there either. So, what to do? Any advice from people who've made it through with babies in a TJ? Any body interested in a nice 97 TJ in Texas? I'm probably going to get it all cleaned up this weekend and ready to sell. The thought of selling my Jeep is killing me. I've owned it for a year and a half and I don't think the Jeep bug will ever be out of my system. If I sell, I know there's another one in my future some day. Love to hear any advice or experiences about babies and Jeeps! Brad |

My kids (6,4,2) love my TJ. I think the youngest rode in it when she was 18
months or so. Any younger than that and the ride is a little jarring on them. Our 7 week old has not been in it yet except to just look at it. If you love the Jeep and can get by with always taking the baby in the other vehicle for 1-2 years, then keep it. If not, sell it. Like you said, you can get another one later. Where in TX are you? Do you have any pieces and parts that you might sell? I'm in the DFW area. Just my $.02. Dennis "Brad Fuqua" > wrote in message m... > So, my wife is pregnant.

Well, if you can't find an older minivan so you can keep the Jeep, find a
recent XJ, 3" Lift, 31s, ARB front & rear. "Brad Fuqua" > wrote in message m... > So, my wife is pregnant.

My son is 5 mos. old now and he seems to like the YJ. His first ride was at
about 4 mos. No long trips, just local errands. I'm a bit reluctant to have the top down when he's in it though. He's still in an infant seat so he's firmly planted. He does go to sleep pretty quick from the bumpy ride. Fortunately my wife had her own Saturn, which died about 4 months ago, so we went out and got her a used Grand Cherokee. She loves it and there's plenty of room. So, don't sell your Jeep... get another one ; ) Kris Andrews 91 YJ 96 Grand Cherokee |

My wife > hates driving the TJ and I'm not sure I feel comfortable having the > baby in there either. Why? Sure, the baby will not tolerate winters very well, but after the first winter blasts through, the baby will be fine. We can't do much about your wife's attitude, but don't worry about the kid. If the wife makes you move on, then move on. If the wife is OK, then keep the Jeep. It is a '97, and the odds are it is paid for at that age, assuming you bought it new. And you can keep it around for a weekend vehicle - which for my money is the best way to have a TJ anyway - and get a new Truckster Family Sedan with a herd of baby seats strapped in the back. Never mind, I just read the rest of your post. If the payment is manageable, keep the Jeep and get the Truckster anyway, otherwise do what the Mrs. says. So, what to do?

I have 5 kids and one on the way. The last two came home from the hospital in the Jeep. 1 in February with the soft top up and the other in May with the soft top down. I live in Las Vegas so May is one of the best top down jeeping months. My wife likes the TJ. ALL of the kids love it. We have a Suburban if we need to take a trip or haul the whole family somewhere. The TJ hold a car seat just as good as any other car I can think of.
