Even with two kids it starts to add up. Two car seats in a compact car basically means you can’t fit an adult in the third row. It means you can’t squeeze in a third seat for play dates or carpool. With a double stroller you’re going to be hard-pressed on packing space for even a weekend vacation or camping trip. Most of the families I know with two kids (myself included) have one smaller car for the daily commute / school, and a second larger car or SUV for road trips and weekends.

The data you want is in census table HH-4. https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/demo/tables/families/time-series/households/hh4.xls https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/demo/tables/familie...
