I'm just explaining why parents might opt for a larger car especially if they have multiple children. It used to be mini vans, now it's SUVs or crossovers which are probably not much bigger than station wagons.

They're needlessly taller. That's why I mentioned the hood height. You lose fuel economy and you make it more dangerous for kids crossing at cross walks.
