My parents are taking 7 kids on a long car trip. They need to fit both of them and the 7 kids in the car and their only options are a Honda Odyssey and a Suburban. I know the Suburban won't work, but I have never seen the inside of an Odyssey

Is it the new one? if its the 05+ one, you can probably squeeze in one more person (it seats 8 - well at least the EX-L we have does) the seats are pretty big, so you should be good, but one person will be without a seat belt, so keep that in mind.

anythings possible, it sure as hell isnt legal, or good for you tires/shocks. http://image.automotive.com/f/miscel...rior-cargo.jpg

My Grandma drives an Odyssey, her's is an older model, that can safely fit 7 people. I did go to the web site and it looks like the seating hasn't change that much, you maybe able to get 1 more in there. But if everyone is going to be buckled up I would say no and since it's 7 kids, you want them to be wearing seatbelts.http://automobiles.honda.com/odyssey/

No, not safely. The newer Odyssey's fit either 7 or 8 people, depending on the trim level. I wouldn't suggest it because there's not enough seat belts for all of you, and it's very tight with 8 people. You might have to take two vehicles or maybe you can rent a big van that fits 11 or more. Good luck.
