Best Car To Own If You Are A Mommy

The best car to own if you are a mommy (or daddy) is the car with tons and tons of room. Anyone that has a child knows the cargo space you need if you are going to travel across town or all the way across the country.

If you are like me, at the risk of dating myself, you will remember the family car called the station wagon. This was the vehicle used back in the day if you had a family with lots of gear.

Think back to the movie National Lampoon's Vacation where Clark (played by Chevy Chase) had a mission to take the Griswold family on a vacation to Walley World Theme Park. And they did so in this old beat up, station wagon Clark nick named the "truckster".

The "truckster" was loaded to the gills with all their camping equipment. It held everything necessary to take 4, then with addition of Aunt Edna 5 passengers camping cross country. Who can forget when Clark falls asleep at the wheel and the "truckster" went careening through the streets on its own, flying over curbs and items flying off the top of the wagon?

If you haven't seen it, it's a hilarious movie and depicts the family cars back then.

Thank goodness times have changed today.

The family cars of today are much better suited for up to 7 passengers as well as all the equipment needed no matter where you are going and for how long a trip you will be taking. And you get to ride in comfort.

Even if you are only going across town and only have 2 children of your own, there will be plenty of opportunities to carpool with the neighbor's kids or your own children's friends. Having room to seat 7 will assure comfort for each rider no matter where you are going.

Some of the best models to consider if you are looking for loads of room for babies and their gear and toys to teenagers with their sports equipment are listed below.

1.) Chevy Traverse - This car offers third row seating that will seat adults comfortably. It has a 5 star rating for safety and a sleek looking interior. It can get up to 24 miles per gallon so you can stretch out your trips to the gas station a little further.
