Kid stuff is a lot bulkier in the US, from what I’ve seen. We fit into a Ford Focus station wagon what my sister-in-law in Texas perceived herself to need a Tahoe for (instead of her “little” Mazda CX-5). Our neighbors with two kids tend to be station wagon owners, too. Another has a Toyota Proace, which is an amazing amount of cargo capacity but still plays nicer with regular cars and non-car traffic because it’s originally a sedan underneath (the Peugeot 306, I believe). I sometimes have to waste 15 minutes or so organizing the car when some new piece comes into the puzzle, true. We’re also a bit more deliberate about when we actually use the car - keeping another set of kid stuff at Oma and Opa’s makes the train a lot easier, and is far less expensive than owning a larger vehicle. But this all requires a bit of planning and deprioritizing our immediate convenience.
