Yes, I got it long after car seats! One yes, two, no.
My 6 ft kid can sit in the third row though, so that was a big pro when we bought it. I doubt anyone over 5 could sit in the 3rd row of a TriBeCa.
Even with the third row up in the flex we fit 5 suitcases in the back.
eta: it also has a regular wall like plug and a total of like 8 total plug in stuff ports.

My minivan fits three car seats, 2 strollers, an umbrella, a portable toilet, 4 stuffed dogs, 2 dolls, a plastic octopus, 3 pairs of shoes, 10 books, 2 empty starbucks cups, 6 cereal bar wrappers and 3 banana peels with plenty of room to spare.

Without a doubt, the best vehicle we've had for space and 3 rows of seats was a Chrysler Town & Country mini-van with the stow & go seating. However neither of us really liked it, so we only kept it a couple of years. Resale/trade-in on it was dreadful! It was also worthless in snow.
However, it certainly was a vehicle that was designed by soccer Moms, it little spaces for everything you could think of.
Our son has a black Suburban, he loves it. Doesn't care about mpg, just wanted it because it's cool. Kids are teenagers now and the 3rd row has seldom if ever been used. DIL drives and love - loves her Volvo X90 SUV.

Oh yeah? Well MY minivan holds 2 kids in car seats, 3 2 bathroom vanities, bathroom tile, a huge diaper bag, small cooler, a sit-n-stand stroller that we forgot to take out of there, my giant purse, a bunch of junk mail, loose change, some empty pop bottles, a small transformer and phone charger, various blankets and toys, 2 happy meals, my tall husband and me! With room to spare. Edit: corrections Another edit: 1 golf umbrella and 2 smaller umbrellas--it rained a lot for a while there! Also, probably a bowling ball or 7--DH has the damn things stashed everywhere!

Ha! My Fit holds fours adults (one six feet tall, one just under), two coolers, a grill, washers (game), snack foods, and grill accessories. DINKs for the win! Lol.

My sister has ONE kid, they have a sedan (Toyota?) and a Tahoe. Every single time they come down here, it's in the Tahoe and it's packed freaking full. She brings his highchair. And probably the kitchen sink too. I can't wait to see what it's like when her second kid arrives in April. ETA: She has available seating here for her 18 month old, my cousin leaves a strap to the dining chair style high chair at my aunt's all the time for her kid. It's not there aren't other options, so the highchair in particular floors me.

Any of the villagers could have told you that you could have also stuck in at least 3 goats and 6 chickens as well. But no... you had to ride around all high and mighty with all that extra unused space. Piker.

I have a Flex... Used to have an outback, but Subaru can't do 3rd row seating.

I've never sprung for a new car, so perhaps i'll decide to do that in 3-5 years. weird. I don't know how all of these people can buy new cars. we make >250/yr and have never been able to justify buying one. (No offense to you Carl, i'm not picking on you, just figuring out why i'm so weird).
Not weird at all. I'm the same way.

The chance of having twins are pretty slim so I wouldn't base vehicle purchase decisions on that and Mrs. C already said one and done. Yeah, she may change her mind, but I'm guessing your current cars would be fine as far as fitting offspring for a long time. Not if they are using science to procreate... the usually put in 2-3 eggs at a time. Just wanted to weigh in here - what they typically do depends on embryo quality/how many days the embryo is and your particular clinic. We had v healthy 5 days embryos and they recommended we only put in 1.
