Back to school is an exciting time for children. At the same time, it’s a great opportunity for kids to be actively involved in the community. One of the ways to do so is by starting a carpool, which can help save time and money and help families socialize with one another. 

Here are some tips to consider when starting a carpool. 

First, never neglect safety. Have a list of rules for carpoolers, such as the inclusion of booster seats and other rules for picking up and dropping off kids. Speaking of booster seats, it should be mandatory especially if required by law. 

Likewise, children under 13 years old should be seated in the back seat. 

Parents should also have pick-up and drop-off schedules to help keep kids on track.
