The kids are going back to school. You probably thought you would be able to unwind from a summer of the kids being home until you realize you are first in line for the school carpool. Whether it is for school or various after school activities, your kids are going to need a ride. Here are some quick back to school carpool tips to prep your car for the new school year!
No matter the vehicle you choose to drive, a routine check-up is necessary. While your carpool trips might be a short distance, they will occur more frequently. To prevent unexpected breakdowns, be sure to get your oil changed, filters replaced, tires rotated, and any other car maintenance service. Driver’s Way offers various car service options that will keep your vehicle in the best condition possible.
Having an organized schedule for the staff of parents ready to take on the challenge of daily filled schedules makes carpooling easy. Checking in with other parents and learning everyone's schedule should be a priority. Also, arrangements inside the car should accommodate space for the children and their bags. Think of it as making space for groceries, but instead they are for backpacks, after school activity bags, and small children.
Amongst all carpooling tips, establishing safety precautions is the most important. Emphasizing the importance of seat belts, obeying speed limits, consistently being aware of all surroundings, and minimizing your driving distractions are ways to ensure safety for everyone. The last thing we need is the kids jumping around in the back seat arguing whose snacks are better.
