2 row car with 3 kids? How long until they can't do road trips with any sanity left?

I need to ditch my 19 year old Mazda and get a new car. I really like the look and specs of the Honda Passport Trailsport. Reviews are stellar, 10/10 on Car and Driver, seems easy to work on and fun to use. The Honda pilot is the exact same car but 1 ft longer and adds a third row. Doesn't look near as good though .

However, I have one two year old and the second kid due in March and we currently plan on having 3. Currently make 8 hour road trips twice a year at least .How many years do I have before I regret getting a simple car and start thinking about trading it in for a 3 row?

I fear I know what y'all will say. You'll talk me into getting the sensible suburban esk car instead. It might be a midlife crisis car to do some mudding. But if I get 5 years out of it, maybe that's okay? Or there's no way a 7 year old will sit between two car seats for 8 hours without me hating my day?

New glove rec for smaller hands

Looking between the Mizuno MVP Prime Fastpitch for $130 or the Akadema 13" Design Fastpitch for $150 on sale.

I've never heard of Akadema but it seems like a good glove on sale. I've been playing outfield but I like playing SS/2B as well.

Anyone have any experience with the Akadema? Unfortunately it's not in stock locally so I can't try it before I buy it...

SSD into the cameras

Why can't we plug an SSD into the car to record the cameras like other EVs have. Teslas have this by default, Rivans have a process to do it, why not us?

It feels silly to buy dashcams when there's already so many cameras attached to the car. Is there a solution I'm missing?

Can't lock the doors when the car is on?

I assume this is for children and animals but I don't think I really get it. Apparently other cars have "dog mode" and things. Ford shouldn't decide for me how I use my car. It's been discussed earlier how the car can last up to 3 days with the AC/heat on so I think I should be fine going into the grocery store and leave my cat in the car on a long road trip.

What do you think?

Tpu 85 Benchy just gets worse

I tried to have the AI help me fix it and it just went so much worse. It suggested I have underflow and retraction issues. Which makes sense. Flow rate was already set to about 2.2 mm3/s . I increased the for ratio to like 1.05. disabled retraction by setting length to 0. The next benchy was worse. These pictures are the default on the bambu studio for p1s.

Nozzle 0.8mm (as recommended)

Slicer: Bambu Studio

Filament: Bambu TPU 85A

Nozzle temp: 225C

Bed temp: 35 C

Print Speed: 100%, I don't see the mm/s in studio right now...

Retraction length: 0.4mm
