My car doubles as a "everything I need when I take the kid out" storage. We always have:
- diapers
- changing pad
- strollers
- extra clothes
- kids movies for the tv in the van, queued up to where we left off
Sure, people in places like NYC just carry all that stuff with them when they take the kid out, but they also take the kid out less often or move to the burbs because it's a huge pain in the butt.
I'd much rather own the car simply so that I can keep all my stuff in it that I need when I go out.
