Welcome to the forums.
I live in Canada. Where there's tones of snow. And when the wife has the RAV4. I take my 3 year old with me. The back seats can accommodate small kids in child seats.
Yes I use this a DD. It's fantastic. Big plus is it's great on gas. If you decide to have more than 1 child. This tiny sports car might be a really tight squeeze for everyday travel with 2 and 2 children. I'm glad I'm on planning on having only one child
