Are we there yet when it comes to family friendly cars? What I'm talking today about is a world that no one could ever really know about until they live it. It's the world where mums virtually live in their cars and family friendly cars become top of their list. Yes, while most everyone else is sleeping, showering, waiting at the bus stop, eating breakfast or flicking through the daily news on their iPads, there's an army of mums in cars.  And when you see what these mums achieve in their cars, it's no wonder the number of SUVs on the road has gone through the roof.  Trouble is, they still fall short when it comes to being family friendly cars. Right now, I'm in the carpark of our local swimming pool.  My oldest son has Water Polo training along with 40 other kids from school so the car park is a teaming mass of mums!  Mums doing the drop off in PJs, mums about to squeeze in 5 times around the oval as the only exercise they'll probably do this week and mums in business suits.  The universal truth about each of these mums is that they have surrendered to the fact that they have, and will have for a long time to come, a very special relationship with their cars. But they are very selective about which car they'll have these relationships with -- they'll only be turned on if said cars are purpose built family friendly cars.
