Vehicles are built in many different ways to accommodate many different types of people and lifestyles. When you are a family person, there are definitely some things to take into consideration when shopping for a new ride. Our Hackettstown area Honda dealer talks about what makes up a good family vehicle.
Safety
Safety should always be your number one concern when shopping for something that your family will be traveling in. It’s important that all members of your family are protected, so be sure to check that all rows have airbag protection. Whether you have two or three rows of seating, they should all be equipped with a curtain airbag, which will protect the heads of all passengers. Check the features on everybody’s seatbelts. The front passengers, and sometimes even the rear passengers, should have height-adjustable upper belts. Height-adjustable belts allow you to adjust the belt in accordance to the size of the passenger. The front seatbelts should have pre-tensioners, which are made to retract the belt when needed. Some vehicles will have them in the rear, too. Check out the latch system for any child safety seats that you will need to install.
Comfort
Of course you want your family to be comfortable. Check out the material of the seating, and other things like the ventilation system and the audio system. If it’s important to you, look for a navigation system and a DVD player. Check for little things like armrests, cup holders, and consoles.
