Shopping for a new vehicle is exciting and, at times, a little daunting. If you’re a new or expecting parent the car shopping experience has the added element of trying to guess how your car needs will change when your bundle of joy arrives. Take inspiration from this list of vehicle features experienced parents have come to love.
In-Car Intercom
Being able to project your voice to the rear of the vehicle won’t be a factor until your little one is at least a five years old. When you’re driving a minivan or three-row SUV full of rambunctious children, shouting for attention will get old. Instead, purchase a vehicle like the Chrysler Pacifica. You’ll appreciate the ability to press a button and be heard by everyone on board.
Proximity Keyless Entry
Even before you have a child, sifting through your pockets or purse for car keys is an inconvenience. After children, somehow you never seem to have your hands completely free. You are holding a diaper bag or cradling your precious child against your chest. When you have proximity keyless entry, you don’t have to worry about that. Your vehicle will unlock without the need to find your keys. You can even go a step further with features like the Jeep® Uconnect system. The Uconnect system allows you to start your engine, turn on your climate control, and lock and unlock your doors — all from your mobile device.
Hands-Free Power Liftgate
Another feature perpetually over-encumbered parents love is hands-free power liftgates. No matter how many times people say it, you won’t believe how much one three-year-old can drastically increase the amount of groceries you need. When you’re unloading their mac-n-cheese, cuties, and the toy you finally caved on, you don’t have to worry about raising or lowering the liftgate. With a swipe of your foot, the liftgate will open and close of it’s own accord.
Multiple Power Outlets
When you’re taking a long road trip, keeping everyone’s devices charged is a must. Find a vehicle that has USB chargers in the front and rear seats so that everyone has access to power when they need it. You can even find vehicles that have household-style power outlets like the Dodge Durango or the Chrysler Pacifica.
