The Carpool with Kelly and Lizz

Good news, Lizz had her baby! Bad news, she's not quite ready to be back on the podcast yet. That means a semi-solo episode with Kelly and a special guest joining us at the end. Before the guest, Kelly catches her up on the best summer ever! The older the kids get, the more she wants to spend time with them. Plus, Kelly discusses the great advice she learned from Reels, getting into her golf dress era and a birthday recap.

Then, we discuss all the amazing new third row SUVs that have become available in the last year with Scotty Reiss from A Girl's Guide to Cars. They discuss the new models that have been released and the best and worst parts of each. It's been a good year for family cars and they break it all down.

As of the recording of this episode, there still is no new baby St. John. However, Lizz is out and Sam is in! This week on the podcast @MamaKnowsCarSeats is joining Kelly as co-host. While the baby hasn't arrived yet, it doesn't mean the family isn't expanding. Kelly traveled to Kentucky to meet the newest addition to the Car Mom family - her Ford Expedition! She tells us all about traveling to the factory and how Ford pulled a fast one on her that led to the most emotional moment ever at a car factory.

There's one major story this week that MUST be discussed with Sam, the new list of best cars for carseats. Cars.com released their annual list and there is a LOT to talk about. Do Kelly and Sam agree with what they came up with? Let's just say they have some takes. While they are on Industry News, they have to talk about the new Tesla Y L.

Could this be Lizz's final episode before baby? Things are starting to look like they could be happening any day now. She shares the latest on the newest St. John family member and how she's getting through these final weeks. Let's just say she is ready for baby #3 and completely over being pregnant!

Kelly is continuing her "Best Summer Ever" and getting ready for two nights of ice cream socials. It's the start of a very busy week that ends with her traveling to Kentucky to see her next car roll off the production line. Oh, and she explains why she is taking pictures of all her meals—and it has nothing to do with social media.

Got a good show Lizz should watch? She's getting her maternity leave watch list ready, and Kelly has one suggestion that scratches the DWTS itch. It's not the only help she plans to give her sister once the baby arrives; she has a whole plan for being the best sister ever over the next few weeks.

Then it is time for a chat with Vanessa Wilkin from Enterprise. They were a major part of the Car Mom Auto Show this year and it's the perfect partnership! They talk about how many families forget that you don't have to buy a car based around a once or twice a year trip, you can always rent one! Plus, the importance of checking to see if you have the right rental reimbursement
