Is a sedan or SUV better for a family with kids?

For families with young children, an SUV typically makes life easier: more cargo space for strollers, sports gear, and groceries, easier access to rear car seats from a higher entry point, and available third-row seating for growing families. A large sedan like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry can handle a family of four comfortably, but the cargo and passenger space advantages of a midsize SUV become real when kids have lots of gear. The right answer depends on how many children you have, how much gear you regularly carry, and whether the extra monthly cost fits your budget.
