FWIW...i bought my westy when my kids were born.  They are now 5years old (twins) and
would kill me if i dared sell the "Bus." .  Over the years it has proven to not only
to be a great vehicle for driving kids around, but also a great vehicle
(metaphorically) for family closeness.  It has provided more close and intimate
family time and memorable moments for me and the kids than any other single factor or
thing in our lives (other than my committment to fostering same).  I know it will
figure prominately in their childhood memories.  I am not trying to suggest what you
should do or anything, just relating some info based on my experience as a dad to
little ones.
