It can be really overwhelming looking for your new family car and BabyDrive is all about helping families make more informed choices.

We know safety is a huge priority for parents so who better to ask than ANCAP chief technical officer Mark Terrell for advice.

Mark's first piece of advice is to start with a five-star car and to look at the ANCAP safety ratings. He said ANCAP does "a lot to help people in choosing vehicles and provide as much information as possible".

His second piece of advice is to look at the date stamp on the safety rating. "That can tell us about the age of the rating, which tells us about the age of the car as well and what the test parameters that it has been tested to," he said.

Mark's third piece of advice is to look at the Child Occupant Protection test results, which includes "making sure that they'll be able to fit the child restraints for the children".
