We did it with young kids a couple of times. We stopped for a quick bite somewhere like Burger King and then they fell asleep. Unlike the drive from Miami it really wasn't any problem. It is a shame the first part leaving the airport and getting through Tampa is the only slightly stressful bit which is before they would get used to the driving.

A coach for 18 plus luggage sounds expensive. I wonder if a night at an airport hotel would be cheaper.

Just noticed you said indirect to Tampa. What time do you get in? That might make the hotel option even more appealing.
