Price differential was negligible (roughly $4k), so the biggest trade-off was space. We didn't think space was going to be an issue with one baby, however, roughly 6 months later, I definitely wish we had gone with the X5. The X3 provides enough space, but I often find myself playing Tetris with the stuff we need to carry. Not sure how much larger the X5 is, but every cubic centimeter would help.

All that being said, I still like the X3. Hope this makes sense.
It gets easier, promise.... For some reason (at least for the first few years), the bigger he child, the less "stuff" they need
