Used Wrangler Perth: 'I used the Jeep Wrangler to keep my kids happy in Perth'

Kids, God love ‘em, don’t make the best passengers when you’re driving. With enough imagination, you can keep one child distracted for a few hours (invent a new game every five minutes for maximum results) but if there are two or more, you know you’re in for trouble.

It’s not their fault. After all, you remember what it was like being stuck in the back on long journeys. When you’re young, being forced to sit in the same position for hours at a time seemed like a punishment. Especially when all that fun looking stuff is going past the window. And why is it that the adults never seem to want to stop and do fun things? Why are they always in a hurry to get places?

Remembering what it was like for you can help you to understand what it’s like for them but it doesn’t make it any easier. When they start fighting it becomes a distraction. And that is when accidents happen. And you can’t afford that when carrying the most precious cargo you’ll ever have. Not that they’ll listen to this kind of reasoning, of course.

But there are ways of keeping kids calm in the back. It involves keeping them entertained. Now you might think you’re the world’s greatest children’s entertainer but we reckon it’s better to leave it up to the professional performers. With the latest in-car stereo systems available in the Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep 2011 ranges, the sound quality is superb. All the kids’ favourites are going to sound better when coming out of a media centre 135 or 230 (available in a used Jeep Wrangler Perth).

There’s nothing better, when driving the streets of Balcatta, than a sing along to some family favourites. It’s a sure fire way of keeping the kids happy and from looking for other ways to entertain themselves (usually by doing something their little brother or sister doesn’t seem to like very much).

But, without doubt, the ultimate way of keeping the kids quiet is the rear DVD video entertainment system that comes as standard in the Chrysler Grand Voyager Limited. Two 9-inch flip-down screens, over each row of seats, will keep even the most restless of kid’s attention. And the best bit is that it comes with wireless headphones, so you don’t even have to listen. You can just focus on the driving and arriving safely at your destination.

DVD players in cars and quiet, well-behaved children as passengers: who would have thought that possible twenty years ago?
