While most guides emphasize style and speed, this one is all about substance. We've teamed up with Edmunds.com, the leading online car-buying resource, to identify the models that meet the needs of parents who have young kids, loads of gear to schlep, and a tight budget. Every vehicle on our list comes standard with a full set of front, side, and side-curtain air bags, antilock brakes, and electronic stability control. Our picks offer fuel efficiency, effortless handling, and family-friendly features; nine of the 15 have been named Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Before you hit the showroom, take a spin through our guide.

I really enjoyed reading the article. It spotlighted a wide array of options for the busy family. It was very helpful and I will continue to refer to the Parent's best list every year so that when I am ready to purchase a new car I will have the knowledge to make the best choice for my family.
