Drawing on her deep automotive roots and experience as a mom of four, Kelly founded The Car Mom to make finding and buying a car better for families everywhere.
Watched HUNDREDS of hours of tours and used the car buying course to determine what car I wanted AND how to confidently walk into the dealer to tell them what I wanted. Came to the auto show and LITERALLY climbed through all the cars. Could not have waded through all the info out there without TheCarMom!!
I watched her video tours like six times for each of the three cars I was considering and they were a huge factor in leading to make my choice. She is the only voice in the market speaking to moms as car buyers and made me feel seen and heard and important.
Course FAQs
What is the Best Family Car?
There isn’t one single “best” family car because every family is different. The right vehicle depends on your family’s size, your kids’ ages, how many car seats you need, your budget, and how you use your car every day.
For some families, the best option might be a midsize SUV with a third row. For others, a minivan might offer the easiest access for kids and the most cargo space. Larger families may need a full-size SUV, while a smaller family might be perfectly happy in a two-row SUV.
At The Car Mom, we believe the best family car is the one that fits your real life — your car seats, your stroller, your groceries, your road trips, and your daily chaos. That’s why our reviews focus on things that matter most to parents: safety, car seat compatibility, cargo space, convenience features, and overall value.
Instead of searching for the “best” car, focus on finding the best car for your family.
Who is The Car Mom?
Kelly Stumpe is The Car Mom. As a mom and lover of all things automotive (she grew up in and around car dealerships!), Kelly recognized a need within the industry and jumped at the opportunity to offer her expertise. Founded in 2020, The Car Mom began simply as a way to review family cars from a mom's perspective. Since then, the mission has quickly grown to empower families of all sizes throughout the car selection and buying process.
In addition to being The Car Mom, Kelly is also the co-host of the podcast The Carpool, a Child Passenger Safety Technician and most importantly, a mom to four - George, Hattie, Fred and Libby
