Having a baby will completely change your life. Your activities and hobbies will change. Your sleep pattern will change. Most likely, you will also be looking for replacements in vehicles. You need to make sure your car has the safety features you need to protect your little one on the road. Here are four of the best used cars to buy if you've just had a baby.
Ford Fiesta 2014A: If you're on a tight budget but don't want to sacrifice, then the 2014 Ford Fiesta should definitely be one of the cars you're considering. It offers 28/36 mpg so those trips to the pediatrician won't kill your bank account. It also offers 120 hp. from a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, so get up and go when you need it. It also received 4 stars in the overall NHTSA crash test score.
2014 Honda Accord: No wonder the Accord made this list. Honda reliability is as legendary as Toyota reliability, and the Accord outperforms the Camry in several key areas. The car offers 24/34 mpg with an inline-4 engine, keyless entry, power mirrors and more. The NHTSA gave it a 5-star rating for crash testing overall (note that it scored 5 stars in front and side testing, as well as rollover testing).
2014 Subaru Outback: Subaru Outback with a boxer 4-cylinder engine and fuel consumption of 21/28 mpg is a worthy contender for your attention. It's also a station wagon, which means you have more cargo space than you would in an Accord or Fiesta. It offers four-wheel anti-lock brakes as well as a full range of airbags. The NHTSA gave it a 5-star crash test rating (it received 5 stars in all areas except rollover, which was 4 stars).
2014 Honda Odyssey: You may not think you need a minivan just yet, but with the Odyssey you might want to give in. It is immensely spacious, comfortable and has enough power for any need (248 hp from a 3.5-liter V6). In terms of crash testing, the Odyssey received five stars from the NHTSA.
Just because you have a new baby doesn't mean you're stuck behind the wheel of the "parent" car. You'll find that everything on this list provides both safety and driving pleasure, making your job a little easier.
