Family cars are the trickiest type of cars, because it should be adjusted to the number of family members including the age of your children. Without these essential car features, short trips with your car can turn into a nightmare. Unexpected things can happen, and these features can help you find a solution to everyday unexpected problems, such as getting stuck in traffic with two screaming toddlers. Here are a few features you need to have in your family car.
Backup Camera
It’s easy to get distracted when you’re trying to park with your whole family in the car. This is what the backup camera is for. It lets you stay focus on the monitor without having to look at the side mirrors. It lets you know exactly where and how to park. You’ll be able to park your car in less than two minutes with the help of a backup camera. Moreover, it ensures safety for your family members.
USB and Wi-Fi Connection
When you’re stuck in traffic with no entertainment other than the radio, it can be very tedious. Before you know it, your toddlers in the back will already be fighting with each other or crying out of boredom. Especially if they are not in the mood to take a nap. This is when a Wi-Fi connection could save you. You could play videos for them to watch and provide entertainment for all passengers. Moreover, Wi-Fi will enable you to have conference calls when you’re driving. A USB connection will also be useful to charge your phone or play your music without having to use the AUX cable.
Built-in Cooler
Sometimes all you need to refresh your mind during a long trip with the whole family is a refreshing can of soda. But a Coca Cola won’t be as refreshing when it is room temperature, not even apple juice would taste that good when it is lukewarm. This is why you need a built-in cooler in your car. You can easily store drinks and even small snacks such as chocolate, so you won’t have a messy trail of melted chocolate in your car. Built-in coolers draw power from your gasoline, though, so make sure you keep that in mind during long trips.
Collision Prevention System
A collision prevention system is extremely useful for those of you who cannot keep an eye on the road every single minute. From time to time, we get distracted by trying to prevent our kids in the back seat from strangling each other, or our focus is just simply somewhere else most of the time. Although this is a dangerous habit, it is sometimes inevitable. And without the collision prevention system, your car is at risk of getting into a car crash. The collision prevention system will alert you when vehicles around you are getting too close, or even when there is a sharp turn ahead.
