I have a crazy theory that car sizes (and prices) are what are limiting the number of children people have.

It would be ridiculous to try to transport a five child family these days.




I would go with lack of parental leave, decreasing income security, stagnating wages, student loan debt, enormous healthcare expenses, and need for dual income households as well as being in school for longer periods of time to secure good jobs over car sizes and prices.

Not to mention minivans exist and aren’t that expensive compared to cars.


Well you can buy a suburban and an eight passenger minivan.. they do still sell 15 passenger vans as well....


The USA is economically oppressive to larger families in many ways like this.
