As the new school year begins in Holland, MI, many families are setting up carpools to save time and hassle with the daily school run. Zeigler Nissan of Holland has some helpful tips to make your school carpool safe, efficient, and fun for everyone involved.
First, establish a schedule and route that works for all the families in your carpool. Determine the most logical order for pickup and drop-off based on everyone's location. Make sure to carve out extra time in case of traffic or other delays. It's also a good idea to have a backup plan and driver in case the main driver is ever unavailable.
Safety is paramount when driving with a car full of kids. Make sure each child is in the proper car seat or restraint for their age and size. Enforce rules about seat belts, noise levels, and behavior so the driver can stay focused. If you need a roomier, more reliable vehicle for your carpool crew, check out our new inventory.
