Fortunately for Australian drivers, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) makes it easy. Since 1993, ANCAP has been conducting independent safety testing of new vehicles in Australia, rating them on a scale from zero stars to five stars based on the level of safety they deliver for occupants and pedestrians in the event of a crash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What most people don\u2019t know is that up until 2018, this testing was only conducted on adult-sized crash dummies, meaning that vehicles weren\u2019t assessed on the level of safety they provided for children. This has since been remedied, with ANCAP <a href=\"https:\/\/babydrive.com.au\/articles\/ancap-introduction-of-child-occupant-protection\/\">now introducing 6-year-old and 10-year-old sized dummies<\/a> as part of their Child Occupant Protection assessment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While more stars are always better, it\u2019s vital that parents and parents-to-be look beyond the headline rating into the individual reports. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ancap.com.au\/safety-ratings-explained\">Child Occupant Protection assessment<\/a> is graded out of 100 points, testing for a range of factors such as the inclusion of child restraints in the rear seats and the vehicle\u2019s ability to reduce the risk of injury in a frontal offset and side impact test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to how recent this change was, it may be a good idea for parents to consider a more recent car than they perhaps otherwise would. That way, drivers can be certain that they\u2019re getting a vehicle that\u2019s as safe for their little ones as it is for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Picking_the_right_size_vehicle\"><\/span>Picking the right size vehicle&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to figure out the right size vehicle? Just do a head count and make sure it has that many seats. Easy right? Not quite. While you definitely want to size your new vehicle to your family, it\u2019s about more than just the number of chairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, consider your lifestyle. How old are your children \u2013 are they teens who can look after themselves or babies who need help getting buckled into a booster seat? Are you always shuttling the kids off to hockey practice or are they the more scholarly type? Do you often end up being the taxi for your children\u2019s social circle? Do you live far away from school and need the comfort of a few extra centimetres of space on a long drive? All of this can affect what you end up driving off the lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For families with only one or two kids, you might be able to get away with a modest sedan or hatchback, while parents with more children \u2013 and probably fuller schedules \u2013 will need the extra seats and appreciate the extra luggage space of an SUV or people-mover. Take the time to think about what your family does, how big it might get and what you\u2019ll need to make getting around simple \u2013 that\u2019s your starting point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_features\"><\/span>Bonus features&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s the little things that can make all the difference. Just because a vehicle is safe enough and big enough doesn\u2019t mean that it won\u2019t be a pain to drive. After all, driving shouldn\u2019t be a chore \u2013 even with all the kids in tow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, it can be good to have a robust list of \u2018nice to haves\u2019 when you go shopping. These are the features whose omission won\u2019t be dealbreakers, but you\u2019ll certainly notice and appreciate if they\u2019re there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you\u2019ll have to get used to as a new parent is doing everything one handed. Whether you\u2019re balancing baby, carting bags and bags upon bags of luggage into and out of the car or just trying to find that thing you <em>know<\/em> was there just a second ago, parents all have to master juggling more than just tasks. For that reason, a thing to keep an eye out for when you\u2019re reading up is automatic sliding doors and other one-handed features. Being able to push a button and have a door open, or be able to confidently fold a seat down without having to put everything on the ground to use two hands is a real time-saver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more important is a reversing sensor or camera. No matter how tidy your kids are and how careful you are, it\u2019s likely that at least some point between now and adulthood they\u2019ll leave a bike or a toy in the driveway. Rather than having to dry their tears and run to the store for a replacement, solve the problem before it starts by seeing it before you drive over it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, it\u2019s all about you. Kids fussy on long drives? What about an entertainment system? Making a mess in the back with their drinks? Cup holders will give them somewhere to put it and leather upholstery will resist stains. Once again, these are going to be specific to individual lifestyles and families, but so is everything about car shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_simpler_way_to_get_your_family_around\"><\/span>A simpler way to get your family around&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting the perfect car can be a real hassle, but not when you choose Carbar.
