Why wait? :) I did this a while ago (2car -> 1car, with a child), and have zero regrets. We now have two kids, and are still 1-car'ing it, with the occasional rideshare. It's fantastic not having to deal with the crap a less-used car comes with. I wrote up my analysis, with a spreadsheet you can plug your own numbers into: https://da-data.blogspot.com/2015/06/why-my-car-cost-more-than-taking-uber.html https://da-data.blogspot.com/2015/06/why-my-car-cost-more-th... We chose not to go zero car for many of the reasons you mention (and, in fact, ended up replacing our 2007 ford focus this year). But going from two to one is very freeing. Loading a car seat into a rideshare isn't bad, btw - the LATCH anchors make it almost routine once you're used to it. Our travel carseat is a little more twitchy, but none of it is very bad.
