A buddy of mine got a Mazda 5 and loves it. He was a VW guy before but has a lot of good things to say about their Mazda.
My inlaws have a CX-7 and when they are watching our kids, there is plenty of room. It's relatively easy to access too (granted we are down to two booster seats and a forward facing child car seat, so your results may vary).
I've said this in other threads, but I really would encourage you to consider a mini van. We were (well, my wife for sure) against the idea of a mini van for a long time but when our third child was on the way and we priced out our options... it's pretty tough to beat a mini van. Tons of storage space, getting the kids in and out is a breeze, there is even space for the dog. We got ours with a lot of options and frankly the thing is pretty comfortable to drive in for adults too. We really wanted an SUV but for the size we needed and all the features we wanted, it was out of price range.
