The Ultimate Mom Car | 2022 Honda Odyssey Tour
Today I’m bringing you what could be the ultimate mom car… the Honda Odyssey minivan! A little bit about the Honda Odyssey, it got a redesign in 2018 and it's going to be getting a slight refresh in 2022. As far as the body style and the car seat setup, it's going to remain the same. I’m so excited to show you how this car is going to function for a mom with multiple car seats and all of the amazing comfort and safety features it offers!
Are you team minivan? If not, you might be after this tour!

Honda Odyssey Review
The Honda Odyssey is a fantastic hauler for any family. It was clearly built with families in mind. The functionality of this van is hard to beat. It has storage, cubbies and cupholders for days, easy access to the third row, a great carseat set up, ample trunk space, and a removable middle seat! Say what you will about the exterior but the interior and functionality of the Odyssey is what makes it such a popular family vehicle.
Exterior
We are reviewing the Honda Odyssey Elite trim level and this one has an msrp of 48 thousand dollars. Let's start with the exterior! I made this one short because well it looks like a minivan, but if we start with the front end we do have some pretty led daytime running lights. That means these are on all the time! The wheels look nice and I like the colors that this van comes in. Overall, it’s a minivan and the exterior can’t really get much better than this. The real attraction is in the interior!
Interior
For the driver seat break down, we love a door cup holder and this car has plenty of cubbies that hold all of my water bottles in almost any size. The one thing that makes a minivan so great is the amount of space it offers. You just can’t beat the size which is why so many families end up switching to the dark side. The magic slide in the second row is amazing and don’t even get me started on the car seat set up. Overall, the interior of this car looks very updated and it’s a great looking car.
Things I love:
Magic slide second row
Cupholders for days!
Carseat set up!
Things I don’t love:
No ceiling vents
Hard seats
Carseat Set Up
The carseat set up for the Honda Odyssey is fantastic. With lower and tether anchors across the bench and two sets of lower anchors in the third row, this van has the potential for a ton of different carseat combinations.
Here’s the visual:
My Honest Opinion
All I got to say is ‘Never Say Never’!! I promise you that minivans will grow on you because you just can’t beat the space they provide. They allow families with multiple kids to get around safely and comfortably without having to worry about car space. The minivan really has everything you would want in a mom car so don’t discount it before taking a look for yourself!
