My sister needed a Suburban to get two kids around and "downsized" to a full size Range Rover when they left the house. So I know people have wildly different views of what's big and what's not, but a Macan is absolutely not too small for kid duty unless you're a family of ridiculously tall sumo wrestlers.
Strollers and child safety seats eat a shit ton of space.
Agreed, but Diono seats are great. Since swapping from the monster Chicco thing, it's easy to toss two adults beside my kid in the middle for across town trips in the GTI. I wouldn't want to make a five hour drive like that, of course.

We tend to deal with one parent at a time, so even a second Diono wouldn't totally grenade that.

But of course, if we were carrying adults around more frequently, a larger car would be nice. That's just not where we are. It's the three of us, a dog and the kids arsenal of supporting gear.
