The BabyDrive story

Apparently as a newborn, I got from A to B in the footwell of an old MG! This sounds shocking to me today when I agonise over putting my daughter in a car that doesn’t have a five-star ANCAP rating! As parents, safety is forefront in our minds, and so it should be with our precious cargo on-board.

For more than seven years I have been fortunate enough to drive a different car every week, a perk of being married to a car journalist and something that before child was just fun for me to plan our weekend excursions around. New to Australia and keen to explore our surroundings, the latest two-seater convertible and some fine weather was a good prompt for a trip along the Great Ocean Road for example! Or the latest four-wheel-drive meant a camping trip, damper, some off-roading and a few nights under the amazing outback sky! Oh I remember those days… just!!!

Fast forward to hundreds of cars later and during the weeks leading up to the birth of our daughter Tulsi, we had a string of sports cars; the BMW 640i, the Aston Martin Vantage and our dream car the new Mazda MX-5. All were very interesting when my tummy protruded as far forward as I am tall (162cm), making getting in and out of the cars as tricky as it was to reach both the steering wheel and pedals at the same time!!

The salesman at the Aston Martin showroom was very concerned about me driving in their brand new quarter of a million dollar car so close to my due date!! I think he feared my waters breaking and ruining the beautiful, soft leather interior! And driving the MX-5, three days prior to Tulsi’s birth, I found the steering wheel rubbed against my tummy when it turned!!
