Question

I'm planning to buy a new car in August and I just got a drivers licence. I am a learner driver and pregnant. I am not sure which car I should buy which will fit the baby's seat and comfort. I am looking at toyota auris, Renault Megane, toyota yaris, VW Polo 1.6 or Peogot 207. Which one is best for babies comfort?

Hi Itani,

Not forgetting Baby's comfort, but I think that safety should be the first consideration if you're buying your car with him/her in mind.

Depending on which model you decide to purchase - for example, the Toyota Auris comes with RT, RS and RX specification levels - the number of Isofix universal child seat anchors for compatible seats could vary, or not be offered at all.

Also consider the airbag complement, particularly side and curtain airbags for the rear passengers.

I'd also suggest you consider a vehicle with ABS anti-locking brakes, at the very least, and perhaps even EBD electronic brakeforce distribution. You never know when you may need it, but these safety features are never a bad idea on any car.

About your comfort, I think something with a fairly roomy boot, although with a load sill that is not too high for you to lift and load Baby's goodies into, should be something to look out for too.

Apart from the Yaris, which may be a bit cramped, the other models mentioned all offer something worth considering. You just have to decide which is most comfortable for you to drive!

Happy shopping and good luck!

Regards

- Hailey Philander
