Car & Daycare inquiry (Ouagadougou)

Hi all

My husband and I would be interested in hearing your advice on two things:
1) what kind of car seems most suitable for Ouaga? (family including a 1 and 5 year old - and potentially room for a visitor or two). We are looking for something safe - but not so big that makes it hard to navigate the streets. Do you also have any tips on where to find a suitable vehicle for a fair price?
2) As an alternative to a nanny, what recommendations do you have for a daycare in the area of Zone du Bois? (age 1)

Thanks in advance for any input you may have!
