No one needs one. Trivially proven by the fact people had two kids before SUVs existed. And all the people who currently have 2 kids without an SUV.
You chose to prioritize your comfort over other peoples safety.

My ford edge on the other hand is much safer and can actually fit the legally required seats for my kids. So I need one. Don’t care what you think.
You don't actually need one, I don't know your situation but this is the objective truth for most people. I've raised 4 kids with a 2-door hatchback. I couldn't buy any seat off the shelf, but they've all met the legal standards and performed well.
Worth noting that the Ford Edge is also still relatively medium-sized compared to some other American trucks/SUVs. There are stock pickup trucks that I'd literally need a step ladder to see inside of the engine compartment.
But the soccer mom stereotype is also real and more families are both busy working parents so it isn’t uncommon for one or a few people to fill all three rows with kids for transport to their sports activities.
