Mind you we carry a stroller, and a diaper bag normally. I'm talking about the weekend trips she makes to her mom's house with all the travel bags etc ..

If the trips are to and from the same places (ie Mom's place and yours) on a regular basis then get a second set of whatever is needed and leave it at Mom's place to save packing / unpacking / repacking and eventually unpacking it all again every trip.
Easier for everyone and when you are only carrying the essentials in the car the smaller vehicle is easier to justify.
By the way my niece and her husband have two kids : One four and one seven months and they have a Honda Civic. No problems.
As mentioned above change you habits first and the rest follows from there.
