Hi! I'm Kelly, The Car Mom!
I review and tour cars from the perspective of a mom! The goal of my channel is to help busy moms find the perfect "mom car" and to provide industry insight so women can go into the dealership with confidence. There are so many car options out there and everyone's family has different needs. I hope my videos can help narrow down your car shopping list because who has the time to go to every dealership only to find out their car seats won't fit!?

2001 Landcruiser owner here and loved this review! We use ours for camping and having the 2nd row seats fold is crucial for fitting a mattress in the back to sleep, and the cup holders come in handy for that setup as well (even if it wasn’t intentional on their end!) We were considering getting a new one but they left out a huge part of this car design that we love, the tailgate! It used to be a bi-fold that you could use for seating or as a table space and now it’s just a life gate. Such a miss on their redesign.
This is my dream car. Thanks for such a comprehensive review.
You made a believer out of me. This is a beautiful family vehicle. Are there options for rear seat entertainment with separate screens for each kid in the back with either HDMI or USB C video ports to connect their Nintendo Switch or Pad to?
Why does the steering wheel look so beefy?
Toyota ❤❤
I drove a 2017 Odyssey when I nannied 3 kids. it was Amazing!! with a vacuum in the trunk!
Touch screen is bad for safety. It's a car, not a tablet
Terrific 2022 Ford Expedition Stealth and it goes from 0-60 and it’s “Mom’s Kids Taxi” or Mom’s Shuttle Service”
The 2022 Chevy Tahoe is a great SUV car to take the little ones to school or anyplace else-The Perfect Mom Car(For Busy Moms on the go)and it goes from 0-60
And Kelly, that right there is a nice looking 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe, don’t you agree?
She is right about the car-dimensions and shapes not coming together and yes the back does look dated I can see that now
I already miss Apple in this vehicle...
I grabbed a suburban for $6.5k
hard to keep listening to you since you you talk so painfully fast. if this were a date i would sneak out
Just booked RS model
I wish toyota gives more trunk space, 2 feet would be awesome. Families can’t go anywhere far with that tiny trunks.
Great review!
The Grand wins in that it offers two hybrid trims. No one else, but Toyota offers a hybrid variant in this class. Home run
This video feels more “sponsored” than the usual carmom reviews 😭
Tesla couldn’t POSSIBLY make a vehicle that would receive a good review could they? Oh wait….
@@chags3512 why do y’all Tesla fans always come out swinging anytime someone criticizes the car? 😂 you’re like the Swifties of the car world. Not even saying the car deserves bad reviews to begin with.
@@HappyHappy-sq4ij you literally said it seems sponsored (read as influenced) by Tesla. We do this because of all the naysayers. The cars are game changing. That’s all there is to it. People just hate change.
@@chags3512 I think it may be over-sensitivity in this case. I’m a huge fan of carmom. She normally goes into way more detail and covers more lifestyle/workflow fit. Fact that she didn’t, was a bit disappointing to me. As someone who’s contemplating a Tesla, it would’ve been cool to hear about details that involved parents naturally think of. Ps- I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that someone as controlling as Elon would have these kinds of stipulations for loaned vehicles (owned distribution model, comments made in interviews, etc…). Not knocking the approach either. Core reason behind is success is his ability to think differently. Just pointing out that she’s up and coming channel w a Tesla loaner… with different tone than usual. Again, not saying the car is inherently bad but would’ve been cool to get more detail like in older posts. Also, kinda hard for ppl to take y’all Tesla fans seriously when you go so hard with the positives as if there can’t be any negatives to the car; period. Tesla is a great car for some and not so great for others. Were you level-headed, productive dialogue would be possible but the bias is pretty strong. Admire the passion though. I have like zero for my Mazda 😂
@@HappyHappy-sq4ij haha. I’ve owned my Tesla for six years. I still find reasons to just drive it. They are that good. I’ve saved thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance costs, the car has instant acceleration which makes it fun to drive and allows for maneuverability in and out of traffic when needed, for passing, etc. the tech is hard to beat and for families, the storage is almost impossible to beat, even if they are smaller than midsize or larger SUVs. My model 3 sedan has more cargo room than most gas crossovers overall because of the front trunk and sub rear trunk areas.
Probably best just to avoid Cheetos and spray tan
I love Tesla vehicles. 😍😍
Tesla Cybertruck i love you!
The 2nd Gen model's design looks like an legit Zeta Camro
exact reason why i had to go with the lower trim level with my 2024 traverse because i wanted the bench seat. I wish they had more options with it!!
2025 will be the refresh model.

What would be best for a family of 7?
2012 Honda Fit. 262,000 miles!
Wanted to hop on here to say thanks for an excellent review. With a 4th kiddo on the way I was on the lookout for a used SUV that could transport a family of 6 and still have somewhat of a decent trunk. I wanted to avoid a bigger vehicle (Ford Expedition, Chevy Suburban etc) if I could because I didn’t want to deal with parking one, going through cramped drive-thrus and such things. We bought a 2021 Traverse a little over a month ago and the baby is here now and I couldn’t be happier with the car. Drives great, plenty of room for the kids, and easy enough for them to get in the car. And the trunk gets the job done (love the hidden compartment for emergency essentials). Great review, great info!
I would love to see one navigator with 2 car seats and a third kid getting in the car
Great video and fun review, but I’m really surprised that you stopped the review at ‘tailgate mode’ and didn’t show that the rear seats collapse back into that deep storage bin to give you a flat surface that opens up more storage. And as someone else mentioned, all three second seats are removable, so if it’s just you and a partner, you can easily turn this thing into one of most easy to drive cargo vans you can imagine. Honda’s Safety suite is also a standard feature on every trim level, so you’ve got all the perks of brake hold, lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, lane tracing, etc.
Number 4 on the way ?? are you telling us what you have done last night? 😀😀😁😁
she's like a hot Scotty Kilmer....
One thing I would suggest, I think it would be good to have one of those hand crank winches just in case they like get stuck in snow or mud there car can easily get pulled out
'promosm'
What year is this?
I can't WAIT to order the 2025 Chevy Suburban!! It'll be my first brand new car!As for size? I don't think it'll be a problem since I drive a semi and I LOVE big vehicles now! I can camp, fish and have PLENTY of room for all my equipment 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
If you dont show how the seats can fold down to make a totally flat surface from the front seats to the back im not interested
36mpg, awd, 24/7 climate control, 40k LE model winner has to be hybrid Sienna
You gotta put your forward facing child in first and then load rear facing child second
What is up with the new UGLY grill? Now it looks like a GMC Acadia.

Please add a segment in your reviews where you share IIHS and NHTSA ratings - as a car mom reviewer this should be an important aspect for parents to consider - especially this Santa Fe only has a “marginal” rating for second row passengers and is not a top safety pick + ..
Excellent review. Looking for something in this size range and your reviews for several seem to be the best. Wish I had found them first rather than so many others I've wasted my time on!
Is it dangerous to have over lapping seat belt? I have my Honda crv and they overlap . I do have two car seats and my oldest go in the middle but he just used seatbelt now.
Would the Evenflo revolve work? Turn forward to put baby in then rotate to rear face?
Do you think the middle seat in the third row could be used with two narrow high back boosters on either side?
never thought about the 'tailgate mode'
“Make an EV for people who WANT to drive them…” yes please! The cybertruck serves literally no one!!!!
