Adding another child into your family dynamic is very exciting! But with new car delivery times pushing out by months, if you’re pregnant (or hoping to be soon) the time to start thinking about your vehicle upgrade is now!
Is the car you’re in right now comfortable for an expanding family? (And your dog?) Is it roomy enough to fit your new baby and all the gear that your little person will need? Is the boot large enough to fit a pram? Or maybe safety is your key motivator…
Whatever the reason you’re choosing to look at a new family car, there are a few key things to consider…
- Practicality
