As new and expectant parents, many of us trade in our fun-mobiles for responsible side impact air bag full cars at some point.

Car companies are smartening up to sublimated convertible desires among today's parents and are marketing fun sporty family cars accordingly. Smarties. Several types of convertibles are even deemed safe enough for families with young children (not with them driving, of course).
If the squeals of laughter erupting from the backseat when all the windows are down are any indication, love of convertibles is genetic.
