What kind of budget do you have mate? That's where we need to start...
Is it you, the thirteen year old and the baby only? or is there a wife also?
MOST (not all) vans have three seats upfront.
So one of you will drive. One will be in 1 of the 2 passenger seats. Then you have one seat left for the baby or the thirteen year old.
SO you need a crew van or buy a panel van and convert it with windows.
If not factory crew van; get a double seat fitted in the back. Quick search reveals a triple seat set from a mk8 Transit with factory isofix, but haven't looked properly for a double seat with isofix.
Think you need to go for a mwb mr van so that you can also get the 4 dogs in along with the passenger seats comfortably.
MR so that you can stand up in it (depending on how tall you all are). I couldn't live without the medium roof personally.
Also I live in a terraced house and owned a Jumbo mk7 a few years back which I used to parallel park everyday. Now own a MWB and parallel park that everyday, piss easy if you can drive. So MWB parking shouldn't be much of a concern.
