While running in gym class recently, my daughter dislocated her kneecap; we’re talking sticking-out-of-the-side-of-her-leg dislocated (sorry to gross you out with the details). Luckily, I was close to school when I got the call so I could ride in the ambulance with her to the hospital. After a full day of doctors, nurses, painkillers, procedures and splinting, we were ready to head home. Thank go Read More »

The 2012 Fiat 500c is a small yet suave four-seater with a cloth top that offers all the benefits of a convertible without all the pain, according to MotherProof.com’s Chief Mom Kristin Varela.

With its 2012 redesign, the Honda Civic coupe underwent more dramatic exterior restyling than its sedan counterpart. Unlike the sedan, which gained more backseat legroom for 2012, the coupe lost a little second-row legroom. For our Car Seat Check, we tested a 2012 Civic Si.

We’ve all had that moment of dread followed by mourning when we realize the car we love no longer fits the family we love. In my case, it’s happening now. My four-seat Volvo C30 worked great for me and my two daughters, but it won’t fit my newly blended family including a stepdaughter and husband. NBC’s hilarious sitcom “Up All Night” tackled the topic last week when Christina Applegate’s charact Read More »

The three-row SUV’s exterior, interior and powertrain have been updated, and the front-wheel-drive Pilot gets an EPA-estimated 18/25 mpg city/highway. What impressed us most is the Pilot fit all three of our child-safety seats in the second row.For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide 30 rear-facing infant-safety seat, a Read More »

At my house, the Dodge Challenger is the coolest car on the road. That’s because it’s the car that Kevin Levin drives in the animated series “Ben 10,” my sons’ favorite TV show. While Kevin doesn’t have to fit child-safety seats into his Challenger, we found that the two-door, five-seat car was up to the task.For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide 30 rear-facing infant-safety seat, a Bri Read More »

BMW’s 2012 X5 crossover provides lots of flexibility for families. It seats five in two rows of seats, but if you add the optional third row, seating capacity bumps up to seven. We tested the five-seater. The X5 also has a choice of three engines: a 300-horsepower six-cylinder, a 400-hp, twin-turbo V-8 or a 265-hp, twin-turbo diesel six-cylinder and 425 pounds-feet of torque. If that’s not enough Read More »
