My Viper has two seats and I have a wife and baby. My wife was my cruising partner, as the cars are only weekend toys. Since we had the baby I realized that the Cobra is the only toy that fits all three of us. So... The Viper is for when we get time away from the baby, or just for me to break away. It isnt often but I do take it out alone now... even just to go grab something at the hardware store, or on an actual cruise through some scenic roads.
If you want to make it work, you will.
If you really want to be able to enjoy the car scene with your kids, then sure... get something that works for all of you. But in truth, kid's interests change with the weather. And ultimately, it doesn't matter what you are doing the kids will enjoy that. It isnt the car hobby, it is dad that they care about.
If it seems like you cant have fun without the kids, then the decision is obvious. If you can, then keep it as your escape and find something fun to do with the kids.
