Jenni Driven

Jenni Newman is a happy but sometimes harried mom of two boys. She's also the first female editor-in-chief of Cars.com, where she's served as a family car guru for nearly a decade. Jenni is a certified child passenger safety technician and will talk your ear off about family cars, car seats, and family safety. Jenni's been through it all -- the baby stages of wailing infants in the backseat, toddlers playing "hide the milk" somewhere in the car, school-aged kids resisting the booster seat -- and she's gearing up for the dreaded teen-driving phase.
