Try them both out and see what you think. I like the form factor of my 6s and I'm xx years old. (where xx is older than you. 
) I may give the bigger phone a go though just to check it out. But there are days I think the 6s is too big. YMMV as they say.

The iPhone 6 is all the phone anyone needs and will be at a great price point shortly after the new models become available. If you are any kind of Dad you'll put the extra cash into a college saving plan instead of getting a new iPhone with features that nobody "needs".
Downvote, but regardless.
I'm a 6'2 individual and I have had every iPhone to this day. I always loved the 5S and swore to keep it forever, well the 6 came out and I said it was ugly and blah blah. I did get a 6 eventually. It was 0.7" larger. I got accustomed to it for a year or so. I then had the opportunity to go to the 6S Plus, so I did. I have never had a phone at 5.5 inches so at first is seems cumbersome, but to this day I can not use a 6 or a 5S due to their size.
The 5.5" I think is the optimal solution for me, maybe others as well. I have no disappointments or regrets.
Replying the way the OP did to a person that immiediately judged him negatively as a father for. It automatically going with an iPhone 6 was absolutely appropriate.
To the OP, never tell people you have kids on a forum. They all know how to raise them better than you do.
As far as answering the question, I can't. Your age and the number of kids you have isn't relevant for this type of decision. You can get a good idea of what you're getting with the 7 and 7 plus by just looking at floor models of the 6s and 6s plus. Aside from the camera improvements I don't think you'll have much else to look forward to.

@DadBod630 , congrats on returning from your suspension. I hope your time off was well spent.
I think it all comes down to screen real estate vs. the cumbersome nature of a larger phone. Which is more practical for you and for your usage?
