Bentley ownership with 3 children???

I've been casually eyeing Bentley's for a little while for my wife...she certainly deserves it!
We have 2 boys and one on the way....the 2 boys are 5 and 2 y/o. Would it make sense for her to drive this with them - 1 car seat and 1 booster in the back? (obviously not with the newborn)
Would like to get her a GT convertible or perhaps a Flying Spur....
We do have the SUV to truck around all the children.

Jackedwards is infamous around these parts
they would easily fit in either one...

Plus in the gt they get their own little window to roll down.

I have been eyeing them also. And I have 2 boys (4 and 7 y/o), and I would not want my wife driving the little monsters around in such a fancy interior. You should see what she lets them do to her mini-van.
But if its mainly for her to drive alone and to only take the kids once in a while then I would do it.
Go test drive them first before you decide and sit in the backseat. And the flying spur is so freakin long that it will feel like a limo around tight turns. I had a 750LI and it felt way too long, the spur is even longer.

I love my GTC and think it is the greatest car for me. I did not buy mine as a family vehicle but not saying it could not be one.

The back seats are small but would accommodate child seats. Gettting the kids out would be very easy with the top down but that would mean opening and closing it a lot. Top up or any two door will be some work to strap the children in.

Young ones do not have the capacity for being careful and avoiding messes but they could be cleaned up.

If momma deserves the best then I vote yes on Bentley. I have never seen a FS but that is the one I would look into, big is good sometimes.

Good hunting friend.
