A compact car can be perfect for you and your spouse. However, when you decide to expand your family, you might realize its limitations. Should you decide to get a new car, the following outlines some vehicle features to prioritize to keep everyone safe and comfortable.

What to Look for in a New Car for Your Growing Family

1. Spacious Interior Design

Traveling with an infant will mean toting diaper bags, toys, and a stroller. Your new car should have enough space to store these items and provide enough room to comfortably fit a reverse-facing car seat and later a forward-facing one. You should also be able to easily get the baby in and out of the vehicle and have plenty of room to sit beside the seat. 

If you don’t imagine having time to go grocery shopping more than once a week, make sure the trunk is also capable of holding seven days’ worth of food ingredients.

2. Tinted Windows

This can make you uncomfortable and can cause kids to become antsy or develop heat-related conditions, like heat cramps or sunburn. Thankfully, many manufacturers design passenger windows with tinting to block glare and protect against harmful rays.

3. Safety Features

Modern family cars offer more than the basic anti-lock brakes and side airbags. Look for models with a backup camera, parking sensors, and forward-collision alert. Automatic braking and departure warning systems will stop the vehicle or alert you if you are veering into another lane. These safety features are designed to keep you aware of your surroundings at all times to reduce the likelihood of an accident.
