Many young adults who are thinking about children don’t like the idea of giving up their fun, fast cars. You don’t have to get a mini-van, though, to transport your family. These days, there are tons of family-friendly car options. Here are some tips for choosing the right vehicle for you:

• First and foremost, consider safety. You’ll be transporting more than the groceries once you bring home your bundle of joy, so safety is important. Look for a car that has great seat belts and airbags, as well as positive safety ratings.
• Keep size in mind. You want a car your family can grow into. A two-door option might not be good, even if you currently only have one child.
• Cost is important. Figure out your budget, and determine how much you can afford to pay every month. Remember to consider gas and maintenance costs.
