Not all cars have Bluetooth handsfree for your phone and you MUST NOT use your phone while driving. Roav VIVA solves that, and gives so much more with this car charger! Available at Amazon

Amazon‘s voice service Alexa:”Get directions, play music, get a flash briefing of your day, shop online, and more. Just ask Alexa.”

Another great Anker product. It’s a car charger (two of them and quick too) but with Alexa to chat to for the information you want and get your handsfree needs. This all helps towards safe driving, and the music and communication you want. It’s compatible with most phones, Apple or Android, and fun too for those journeys, especially as Alexa is adding things all the time. Just one touch to mute it too.

We tried it out, getting directions, on-line shopping just by asking. Lots of music to suit too. We tried to outsmart it with questions, (are we there, yet?) but Alexa did well. It was a very quick set up. Many cars have slow chargers, for phones, but this was was excellent, powering up the phone battery surprisingly quickly.

A nice present for Christmas!

Penny McCarthy is a seasoned entrepreneur and co-founder of Parents News UK, a pioneering publication launched in 1993 to serve the needs of busy parents in Southwest London. Alongside her husband, Fergus McCarthy, Penny played a crucial role in the rapid expansion of the printed edition, which grew from a local startup to a widely circulated monthly publication with a reach of 192,000 copies across Kent, South London, and beyond. Under Penny’s leadership, Parents News quickly became a trusted resource for families, providing valuable information on education, entertainment, sports, and family-friendly events. Her vision helped the publication extend its influence with franchises in Northern Ireland and Cornwall, catering to a growing demand for accessible, family-oriented content. In 1997, recognising the importance of digital media, Penny spearheaded the launch of Parents News UK Online. The website initially mirrored the content of the printed editions and has since evolved into a comprehensive online resource for parents, achieving significant popularity with up to 700 daily hits. In 2017, the publication transitioned fully to an online platform, continuing to inform and engage families across the UK. Today, Penny remains deeply involved in the ongoing success of Parents News UK, focusing on innovative advertising opportunities and future growth plans. Her dedication to supporting families through accessible and practical content has made Parents News a cherished name in households across the country.
