My family had an ABSOLUTE blast test driving the Nissan Pathfinder for the week. I couldn’t have asked for a better week to test drive it because we were BUSY AS CAN BE and literally, every kind of weather was tossed our way in Rhode Island for the last 7 days.

We had flurries.
We had an ice storm.
We had FREEZING temps.
We had wind.
We had rain.
And finally yesterday, clear skies (but still cold!).

I was on the lookout for 3 things while enjoying the Pathfinder on some family winter adventures all week:
1) SAFETY
2) CONVENIENCE for a family of 6, with one on the way
3) ROOM for everyone

It’s tough finding larger vehicles for families of 6 or more. I don’t want to be driving a bus around, I want something “cool” and very appealing to my eye, but I also really need something that’s going to work for us as a family.

My FAVE part was the Latch and Glide system designed to conquer the 3rd row inconvenience. The innovative system allows drivers to slide and tilt the middle row to allow space for passengers to get into the third row. Possibly the most innovative part is this system even works with a baby seat installed. You no longer have to remove the child seat every time someone needs access to the third row.

LOVED, especially with 2 little guys in the back – all wanting to get out 1st!

I was BEYOND impressed with the Nissan Pathfinder.

Here’s some of the adventures we went on in the last 7 days…

Tuesday night date night with my Ben and Henry… shakes and burgers!

Then off to StyleWeek Northeast in the FREEZING weather and rain!

Mid-week photo shoot for Alex for a local magazine…

I co-hosted an event at Alex and Ani for the American Heart Association…

Swim practice 5 out of the 7 nights!…

WEEKEND WINTER FUN!

My husband and I stocked up on warm coffee!

Off to our local park for a hike in the woods!

Playground fun… nobody was there! The boys had the FULL playground to themselves!

Beach time!  There’s nothing like the calm, serene Rhode Island beach in the winter!

Checking out our favorite summer walking paths!

And then last night, off to a party for the Super Bowl!

It was a jam-packed week!  We used the Nissan Pathfinder to bring us everywhere! I absolutely loved it and it will definitely be on my short list as we look to upgrade soon!

Thank you for the winter fun, Nissan!

Disclosure: Nissan provided me with a 1-week vehicle loan of the Nissan Pathfinder, $250 gift card and winter necessities for me and my family.
