Accepted Answer

A great checklist to follow when looking for a used car is:

Safety first: The Euro NCAP score is the most reliable way to assess a car's safety. While the star rating provides an overview of a vehicle's safety scores, parents with little ones should give closer attention to the child occupant protection ratings.
Keeping everyone entertained: On long road trips, keeping the kids entertained is of the utmost importance. The good news is that several cars have easy mobile connectivity to play favorite tunes and audiobooks. Some models even offer additional perks.
