The Essential Qualities Of A Good Family Vehicle

This is a collaborative with Nintendo, they provided the game for review.

The difference between buying a car just for the sheer joy of driving on the open road and a vehicle that you would feel comfortable ferrying around your family can be huge. In fact, the former could be a small and sporty number with a high top speed.

Qualities Of A Good Family Vehicle

You may not even have to worry about things like fuel consumption. However, when it comes to suitable family vehicles, you need to look for something else entirely. The details of which you will find below.

Are the Number of Seats is Important

First on the list of things you need to look for in a car suitable for the whole family is the number of seats it has. The reason being that if you have 6 people to drive around, a four-seater isn’t going to be much good at all! 

Fortunately, there are vehicles like minivans, which comes with additional and even fold-down seats. Something that means you can extend the number of passengers you carry, and so the whole family can make even long journeys in comfort in the same car. 

Safety is Key for a Family Vehicle

Safety is obviously another top priority when it comes to choosing a family-worthy vehicle. Happily, there are some pretty advanced safety features that many newer models include now. One is Automatic Emergency Braking or AEB, where the car will stop if it gets too close to the vehicle in front, whether you choose to pump the breaks or not. 

Then there is the Lane Departure Warning feature that will sound an alert if your vehicle starts to drift from the lane it’s meant to be in. This being something that can boost safety a great deal in both adverse weather conditions and on long highway drives. 

Unfortunately, there are so many variables on the road that the risk of being in an accident never completely goes away. Of course, if you suffer this misfortune, then you can speak to a car accident lawyer after the incident.

Something that can help you file a legal claim and hold the other party accountable for their actions. Although, aiming to prevent such an occurrence by choosing a car with the best safety features is always the preferable option.

Is Trunk Space a Big Deal?

Anyone with kids will know that another crucial element of choosing a family vehicle is finding a car that has a decent amount of trunk space. This is because if you want to use your vehicle for family vacations, or taking your kids to and from sports practice, you will need plenty of room for all their luggage and kit. 

In fact, if you don’t have enough trunk space, you can end up using the area inside of the vehicle for bag and luggage. Something that can make longer journeys much more uncomfortable, and will inevitably mean that you end up with a gaggle of complaining kids in the back.

To that end, be sure to check this feature before you make your family car purchase. You could really regret it if you don’t!

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
