Mom car opinions

I personally don't think it matters, as long as it fits in a carseat with no problems, gets you from a to b what does it matter to other folk? Me and my partner both have an Audi A3, his being an S-Line, we both drive sensibly and I wouldn't even consider getting rid of it when it's a perfectly good car

Hey! If it has 4 doors and reliable and can easily fit a car seat safely, I wouldn’t get a new car. It’s your car and you like it and it’ll work for you and baby 😊 people have very weird and strong opinions about everything, even more so when baby arrives. Do what works best for you. A reliable car that you already have sounds like the perfect car to me!

You definitely don’t need a new car for 1 baby!! If you had 2+ then you might just for space but you’re totally fine. I drive a ford focus hatchback and it’s been perfect. The only issue is if you want a convertible car seat you have to be really careful because some are really big and won’t fit. I had to get a graco one so it would fit in my car.

I have a Honda Civic & had TWO car seats in the back. I just bought another car to prepare for the 3rd kid, but if I wasn’t pregnant, we would still be in the HONDA! Lol I say if it’s not broken don’t fix it!

Honda Civics are good cars. I never heard of them being referred to as sports cars, just sedans. When you only have one baby, the Civic should be fine. If you go on to 3+ kids, I would think about a larger vehicle, but for one child, a sedan is fine. I know other parents in small sedans with their first child. I have a Honda Element that only seats 4 (driver included), so if we have 3 kids (we haven't decided between 2 or 3 yet; on #1 right now) then I know I'll have to upgrade. My partner has a Chevy Malibu that isn't very spacious in the back, but there's room for a car seat, so we're good to go for now. Thoughts of expanding are far off!

So jealous. I have wanted a type r for so long. Lol. If it works for you, thats all that matters!

You’re fine with your type R. Unless they plan to pay for your new car 😂!

Your car is fine. I had a Toyota Corolla when I had my daughter.

I have a Kia forte 2018 and my mom has been nagging us about getting a bigger car for the baby. Because there’s gonna be two car seats( one for my husband’s son and one for ours). If your car is running great, keep it. Because car payments, gas, insurance ain’t cheap. Ride the car until the wheels fall off.

My wife has a truck, and I had an Acura ILX and she got me an explorer as my push present for our first babe because she said I needed more of a family car 😂 I ended up loving it tho because all the space is so nice! Just upgraded to a new explorer limited for this next babe coming because it has captain seats which seems much more feasible with 2 kids.

Also just saw that you have two pups. Not sure what kind they are or if you like to bring them places with you, but we have 2 labs and it's so much easier to pack my car with all our crap and throw the dogs in the back vs stuffing the two dogs and our daughter into my wife's truck. So that's another thing to consider!
