I wouldn't take the whole family across the country. Maybe one parent flies (window seat on a red eye) and stays at the other end. Lots of Zoom or Skype visits with the new baby and toddler brother. Fly home with the new baby. Not ideal, certainly, but better than driving with the whole family. If they can afford it, buy two seats on the plane so there is nobody next to them.

Good luck.
