Fair enough, and sure, navigating this with small children + luggage coming off a long haul is a valid concern, but just to clarify:
"all the way to the last BART station Millbrae" -- I may be guilty of over-parsing "all the way" but note that SFO is the second-to-last BART station in that direction, so it's only one stop and 5 minutes to get to Millbrae.
"we would still need to get from [Millbrae] to a house in Santa Clara" -- that was why I mentioned Caltrain, which operates a commuter rail service between Millbrae (Caltrain and BART use adjacent platforms there) and Santa Clara
having said all that, agreed that in your circumstances it may not be the best option.
