Agree, it is bizzare how all this discussions completely ignore the children and families that have to get decent sized car.

  Parents with 3-4+ kids can’t get a “decent sized” car. (And, I’d point out that given how % childlessness has skyrocketed, we do need some larger families to balance them out.)

    Our truck seats five adults, but only two kids plus two adults. Our old truck seated 5 adults, but no more than two adults and one car seat. Instead of just requiring latch anchors, they should mandate that using all the latch anchors doesn’t reduce the max number of passengers. Also, I wonder if they could eliminate booster seat requirements by mandating seatbelts that can be adjusted for short people. As it is, we can’t take public transit, since the last few miles of most trips involves an illegal ride for the kiddos in an uber (so we have the kids walk those miles instead, which gets old fast).

      If you get narrow car seats you can get three across in the back in almost any car. You don’t have to use the latch anchors. The seatbelts work fine. Uber is a problem with really little kids, but you can get portable and even inflatable car seats and boosters that aren’t too bad to carry around.

  How many families have more than 2 kids? For family with one kid a small car is enough. My friend drives a 5d Mini Cooper and it fits his family of 2+1.
