All but the oldest of children lack the ability to drive themselves places. That...

That's not really how things work for many people.

If you both have to go to work and pick up your kid at school or in kindergarden and go shopping or take them to practice etc.

That's where the car is convenient. I can't send my kids with public transportation before they are 12 in NY.

So yes it's ver flexible, convenient and practical with a car.

If the kindergarten is on a subway/bus stop, it's really not an issue. How do you think we can get more public transport near schools? Hint: fund public transit more than roads. Instead of driving your kid to school, you just take them with you on the subway/bus.
