Hot List

Best Mom Cars

Everyone has a list of “must-haves” when shopping for a new vehicle. We at AAA polled some moms to find out what was important to them. Like most buyers, they were concerned with safety, reliability and comfort. But they also had some unique needs, like the ease of transporting the kids (and their stuff), whether they’re in car seats or in the third row of a utility vehicle. So we considered things like the number of LATCH anchors, third-row accessibility, cargo versatility, along with the standard safety, reliability, visibility and comfort issues when compiling this list of the Best Mom Vehicles.
