The 2012 Honda Odyssey is the ultimate family mobile, says Cars.com Family contributor BreAnn Ahara. With seating for eight and enough Latch anchors to handle a small preschool, this minivan successfully combines form with function. One of BreAnn’s favorite features is the second row with three seats that slide forward and back independently; the outboard seats also slide sideways toward the doors, creating an extra 3 inches of space on the bench. The extra room makes it a breeze to install three child-safety seats in the second row.
