Looking for a new and great family vehicle? Now is your chance to make a great choice as Mother Proof presents the best of the best family cars this year! The leading website for helping mothers and women navigate the automotive industry came up with their hot list of winners. Let’s all check it out!
“There are countless family-friendly vehicle options on the market today, offering families a combination of style and features. Our goal is to help women, and moms in particular, evaluate the options best suited for their unique needs. Our awards are unique in that evaluations are based on our own experiences with test vehicles - taking our kids to school, loading up groceries for the week, commuting, even heading out for date night. We put each car to the test the way real families use them in their daily lives,” says chief mother Kristin Varela.
The Auto Channel reported that Mother Proof’s Awards was established in 2006. It is intended to recognize several of the premium new vehicles on the industry.
“Often when people think ‘family car,’ they think only of the minivan,” Varela said. “While that’s a great selection for many people, moms no longer need to limit themselves to the van. The Mother Proof awards showcase a wide range of vehicle types and body styles, all well-appointed for families.”
“All of these vehicles represent the best of the best for families and offer the complete package of safety, style and convenient features for families on the go,” says Varela.
“This year’s Mother Spoof award may be surprising because in terms of safety and family-friendly design, Volvo is known for getting it right. However, we’ve found that the Latch connectors in their models are much more difficult to use than any others we put to the test. This is an issue we have brought to the manufacturer’s attention in previous reviews and hope to see improvements in down the road,” Varela concluded.
