You knew all along that you were going to surprise your firstborn with a car for their 16th birthday, and, with a lot of hemming and hawing, you finally decided upon a fire-engine red midsized beauty that you know they will simply love.

We have put together a collection of supplies that will help make their (and your) transition from training wheels all the way up to car keys a little less worrisome and a lot more fun! Congratulations to you both on this incredible milestone!
