Just because they're too young for a driver's license does not mean they're too young to have cars of their own! Porsche solves that dilemma with a Baby Porsche push-along car ($129),  Cayenne pedal car ($279),  or awesome 911 pedal car that features a steering wheel with horn and engine sounds ($359)!  If you don't want to encourage such go-fast tastes so young, consider the Mini Cooper Baby Racer for $85, the Mini Convertible Pedal Car ($195), or an entire selection of Mini die-cast collectibles (from $20 for 1:87 scale replicas to $88 for 1:18 scale replicas) available through your local Mini dealer.

New drivers need practical guidance on car and tire care, so ensure their safety and help them be better educated about maintaining their car with these two must-have gadgets from Tire Rack! Some 20 million vehicles have at least one bald tire, according to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration.  In addition, 1 in 3 drivers don't know how to check if their tires are bald. While U.S. coins can be used to estimate remaining tread depth as a tire approaches the end of its useful life, the established method of measuring remaining tread depth in the U.S. is with a gauge that reads in 32nds of an inch (other countries measure tread depth in millimeters). Dill's Digital Tread Depth Gauge displays tread depths in millimeters, inches, and fractions at 1/32 increments. Suitable for measuring brake shoe and pad wear as well, the gauge's large LCD display also makes it easy to read. The Dill Digital Tread Depth Gauge is available from Tire Rack for $19.00.  


This compact and space-saving Accutire Digital Pencil Air Gauge is an awesome choice for the young driver on the go.  With this light, compact pencil-shaped air gauge tucked into their backpack, even the busiest teenager should be able to check their tire pressure once a month (as recommended for best tire performance and lifespan).  For those with limited space in their backpack, a steel pocket carrying clip is available. The Accutire Digital Pencil Air Gauge is easy-to-use and available from Tire Rack for $8.95.

Want to be sure you always know where your new driver is going and want to be sure he or she did it safely? Then here are two important devices you'll want to keep in their car. The first is the Zoombak universal A-GPS locator, a battery-operated device about the size of a pager, which sends notifications of its location every 15 minutes and displays those notifications in a breadcrumb trail on an online map. The device can even send you text messages when it arrives at certain locations. As described by David Pogue in his detailed review of the product,  "you can define up to five "safety zones": addresses or other points with a radius that you specify. You might define a 200-yard circle as OurHome and a two-mile region as CollegeCampus. Once you've done that, you can set up automatic, free alerts for those locations. When your trackee enters or leaves one of these zones, you get a text message, an e-mail message or both saying, for example, "Chris has arrived at IrresponsibleFriendsHouse." The battery lasts about five days or 150 location pings, and it will alert you via text message or email when it's running low. The device itself costs less than $100, and an annual tracking subscription costs about $155. That's a small cost for the huge peace of mind of always knowing where your kid is. 

As far as driving safely, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics show motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for teens and young adults ages 15-20. And 82% percent of fatal crashes with 16-year-old drivers are due to driver error; 37% are due to speeding. Just plug the CarChip driving and engine performance monitor into the OBDII connector of your 1996-or-later vehicle: About the size of two nine-volt batteries, CarChip monitors what's happening under the hood and behind the wheel and continuously logs vehicle and driver performance for later review. The data can easily be downloaded to your PC and shows details of every trip including start and end time and date, distance, speed, average speed, maximum speed, hard braking, and quick accelerations. It even has a user-settable alarm for speed and hard brakes, making it excellent for new drivers who might need a gentle reminder to slow down. $119 from CarChip.com.
