help me convince my wife that an A3 is big enough to haul a kid or two, and whatever junk goes with.

Road Trip mode:
This is what it looks like when we spent a week in the car on a road trip. Me, my wife, and our young son.

A graco stroller and pack and play fit in the way back, fine, at the same time, with plenty of room for a diper bag, and some toys.
It only gets tight when we go on a longer trip (we've gone on a few with him in the car.) In that case, I throw the box on the top and load the car up.

The reason I got an A3 is
I kept my F250 Crew cab truck. The A3 is pretty small. I haven't tried golf clubs yet but I think I will need the seat down.
The A3 is perfect as a commuter car, errand car (w/ wife and 6 yr old), and fun car.

Teach your wife how to shift, then get the 6speed manual Avant w/sport pkg >much more fun than A3
My wife also wanted to get auto when we bought our B6 Avant but has learned driving with a stick in just 2 days. Now she says she'll never drive an "automatic" again.
As far as the cargo space goes the A3 may be little too small when going out for a long vacation or hauling stuff from a dept store or Home Depot. Note that A4 Avant was designed as a real station wagon with flat folding seats, easy loading cargo floor, special cargo net and very useful roof rails. A3 is just a compact hatchback with side windows.
Last but not least, Avant comes standard with quattro, a safety feature which maybe be another important factor for you in the near future ;-)
