Now that my son is older and can get himself in and out, four doors seems even less useful.

Is this optimal? No, certainly not. However, it can be done if you're willing to sacrifice a little creature comfort. I found I hardly ever needed more space than a small car gave, and on those rare occasions I did it made more sense to just rent a truck.
you are my hero. Did not compromise for a sedan.
