We had a 2015 Sienna for over 5 years. Perfect for the kids but we got rid of it because it wasn't quite the same after getting t-boned.
Whatever minivan you decide on, get the sliding doors. That's the one feature we appreciated the most. Don't have to worry about them opening doors into other parked cars. You can open with the remote and let them run into the van themselves. Little things like that made life easier.

Grandparents were always fine sitting in any row in the minivan.
I'd never ask them to sit in the 3rd row of our SUV. They're too hard to climb into, and there isn't nearly as much space.
If I'm picking them up too, I have to move 2 of the car seats from the middle row to the back row, so grandparents can sit in the middle.
