I have a Diono Sunshine Radian Kids seat in the middle and you could easily fit 2 more on each side. Just make sure it is a Diono which has a slimmer steel frame compared to other seats.

Family of 5.
Not as good as an SUV, but adequate for short trips. The kids complain all the time about being car sick, but it's because they are used to my wife's Pilot, which is more akin to riding around on the living room couch. The back of the 5 is "snug", but not as snug as some in the class.

It's a good family car. No where as good as a SUV on long trips for my teenagers in the back seat. Otherwise no problems here. Our CT200h is smaller than my G but more comfortable to my kids.....

It can fit by Go-Bag with 2 sets of body armor and gun belt accessories along with my weather gear and I still have room so I can't see why it wouldn't. There's 13.5 cubic ft of space in the trunk and the cubic inches for that stroller (if I'm looking at the correct one and my math is right) converts to about about 6 cu. ft.

the trunk is small but well laid out. I too have fit copious amounts of tactical equipment in the trunk...no small children though.

Oh absolutely . Not too much into ARs as cool as they are; probably because there's no where to actually fire them all out or practical uses outside of showing it off. Much more of a handgun and shotgun fan. Shotgun for home defense and skeets. Handguns require quite a bit of skill IMO so I like the challenge. Teaching the fiance to shoot now and she's taken to the Taurus 92, surprisingly, over the S&W 3913 I thought she'd like. She's still a bit timid and scared but that's a good thing. Reinforces the golden rules when we go over them. Go figure she likes the Beretta replicate
Yet...
Lol, I've never had an issue with it honestly. Had my gear, Another member's gear and dress uniform items during the inauguration and still had room.

Your wife has good taste - I'm looking at getting one for myself lol. You only need see see one slide bite for that to happen. Seen more than my share of Beretta bites at the range when guys do the non-dominant switch sequence. Stitches involved every single time; and heckling to remind them when the scar doesn't lol. All in good fun though .
I also like the Glock 40 as a home defense option. My dad's 19 was my first experience with firearms and it's a fantastic gun that made me appreciate what the Glock is capable of. Super durable and can fire in any condition. Easy to clean and dismantle as well which was great when I was learning. Also hammered the golden rules into me since they are manufactured without the typical safety features.
Thought about the Sig but it might be too much of a wet gun for me since I only shoot them once in awhile. I like having different stuff too and just about everyone I know has one.

I've fit our Schwin double stroller in the trunk. Not much room for anything else thought.
I think the G is kinda small to be the primary family car if you have little ones in car seats and have to consider things like strollers and pack-and-plays. I think it would be difficult to pack the car for a week long trip if you need all the associated baby/toddler stuff.
