What Your Minivan Should Have

By: Joe Ratzkin

When it comes to practicality, nothing comes quite close to
owning a minivan. A minivan is also known as a multi utility
vehicle, or MUV, and also known as a multi purpose vehicle, or
MPV. It is just like a van however, it has rear side doors and
windows and its interior can actually take in around seven
people or more. It also could take in various types of cargo.
Thus, the very reason why when it comes to practicality, people
often choose minivans.

Aside from your minivan holding a large amount of people and
cargo, a minivan should also have adjustable pedals and
telescoping steering wheel. This would be a good thing for
parents or drivers of minivans to be comfortable. Adjustable
pedals and telescoping steering wheels are of big help to people
who are not physically that long.

A center folding storage tray always helps a lot especially to
those with kids who would have to eat inside the minivan. Simply
described, a center folding storage tray is actually just a tray
with cup holders. They fit in between the front captain chairs.

The automobile world calls this mirror the overhead convex
mirror. However, to parents and to guardians, they call this a
conversation mirror. It works as a spyglass. Parents and adults
in the front could simply look in the mirror and they would be
able to see what is going on at the back without having to turn
their heads. This assists parents to keep the whole situation at
the back in control.

A low tire pressure warning system is another feature that your
minivan should have. This gives the drive the ample amount of
information regarding their wheels. Of course, it is important
to have the tires inflated just right. If they are over inflated
or under inflated, the chances of having a blow out or of
meeting potential accident situations are increased.

A reverse sensing system or a rearview camera would serve as
your eyes. They are extremely helpful especially when backing up
a driveway or a parking lot. The thing is, with a minivan, you
cannot see much at the back especially if you have a group of
children with you as passengers.
