We are ONE WEEK away from launching our new website. This has been the biggest investment and time commitment we’ve ever made. We started working on it 2 years ago 😅 and to celebrate launch we wanted to do an insane giveaway.

To enter:
Starting September 10th our new website will be live

-Make a free account and review your car or any cars you test drove in detail
- if your car is not on the website (older than 2021) that’s okay, making your account will be your entry.

Why did we only go back to 2021?
That’s when the car mom started, we don’t have reviews passed that. Additionally every review has to be manually written and added and that’s all the bandwidth we could do.

GET EXCITED! Giveaway not affiliated with instagram.

In 2026 released the NEW RAV4 and it’s a dramatic change. Not only did they update the interior and exterior to a much sportier more modern design, but they also brought it back as only a hybrid.

overall, it’s pretty car seat friendly for a five passenger SUV and I was able to do a couple of three across combinations, but be aware, slim seats will be required.

A true family-friendly vehicle starts with what you can’t see. 👀PurolatorONE Cabin Air Filters keep the air clean *and* block odors. Very important for going back to school. (https://www.instagram.com/purolatorfilters/?hl=en #) are available at Walmart.

Tough buckles? If your child has outgrown their convertible car seat, but having trouble buckling themselves, the Chicco Myfit could be a good option! With a 54” harness height even tall kids (like mine) can stay harnessed longer.

My seven-year-old rides in a booster, but he has easy access to his buckle. If he didn’t this would be a good option for us.

Only 10% of pregnant women wear their seat belt correctly- and YOUR seat belt is your baby’s first car seat so a good fit is so important for both of you. As your belly gets bigger it may be hard to position the lap belt underneath your belly, so this simple trick is very helpful!

.usa is raising the bar (or I guess the seat) on booster comfort 🤯✨

One of the coolest things I saw this year
