Being a parent of small children a few years ago, most parents will agree that there is nothing harder than traveling with little kids. Today, parents will be happy to hear that Uber Car Seats are about to make family travel alot easier. As parents know, at some point, your babies get old enough to travel, to Disney, or to Grandmothers for the holidays. But little kids come with enough own cargo to fill a small plane. One of those items, is a car seat. Now with Uber, you can save money on renting a car, and simply call an Uber that comes with a car seat.

During our recent trip to Washington, D.C. we got the Uber travel experience first hand. In a big city like our nation's capitol, there is no better way to get around town, fast, than an Uber. During our four day trip, we called an Uber 24 times. The drivers were polite, knowledgable, and fast. The cars were very clean, offering the perfect size for our needs. It was a fantastic experience.

According to Fox News:

Uber has partnered with car seat company Nuna, which is based in Pennsylvania, to supply Uber Car Seat rides with the Nuna RAVA car seat. Right now, Uber Car Seats are available in New York City and LA. The seat can accommodate children from 5 pounds to 65 pounds.

The only Uber issue we had was at one point, the app got a little funkly with my credit card. So I had to quickly switch to another card on my wife's phone app and we were back in business. I recommend if you travel with a partner, like your spouce, have a backup Uber app loaded on a separate phone. Messing around with apps and credit cards with cranky kids could reduce the joy in your trip!

Look, it shouldn't matter. Massachusetts has long been regarded as one of, if not THE best state in the country when it comes to education public or otherwise. So no matter where you live in the Bay State your kids are likely getting one of the best educations our tax dollars can buy. But it does matter to a lot of parents. We fear that one day our kids due to a lack of education will be taken to the hospital after getting their hand mangled at the mangle factory and use their one good finger to point at us and say with a trembling voice "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! WHY COULDN'T WE HAVE LIVED IN HOPKINTON! INSTEAD WE LIVED IN BELCHERTOWN!!!!" (Nothing against Belchertown, but your name is too funny to not use).

Education obviously is a huge priority for the state of Massachusetts. The best and oldest college in the country, Harvard, was established here. The state is in the top 10 for states that spend the most on education. And even though I'm just a simple Country Radio DJ I still get hurtful texts and phone calls from people because of the one time I used the term "vicariously" incorrectly. So a list of the best school districts in Massachusetts seems like a no-brainer.

I decided to make the definitive list of the best school districts in Massachusetts. Yes, you can easily find this by going to Niche.com and seeing their rankings. Or going to the yearly US News and World Report listing. But that wasn't good enough for me. I combined the two lists and their rankings to make a much more accurate list.

Education is very important to me. I took mine for granted and while I love my life and feel I am near the ceiling of my success I also know that if I had taken my education more seriously I would have been able to shatter that ceiling like Willy Wonka and the Great Glass Elevator. What I'm trying to tell you with that analogy is that I read at a 4th grade level, and I want better for my kids. That's why we live in Lexington, even though I can barely afford it. Where does Lexington rank on the list of Best School Districts In Massachusetts, and is it worth it? READ ON TO FIND OUT!

Jonathan Wier grew up in St. Louis where he was obsessed with the voices that came out of the radio. He would listen for hours wondering what that person on the other side would say next.

After failing to find happiness in playing music or manual labor he decided to go to college for radio at WLCA in Godfrey Illinois. He then started working at 97.1 KFTK in St. Louis as a producer and on-air talent.

From there he has hosted shows in Gainesville Florida (News Talk WSKY 2011-2012), Kansas City (News Talk KMBZ 2012-2019) and now makes his home at Country 102.5 in Boston.

He lives in Lexington with his wife and two sons. When he’s not at work you can find him watching football, playing music with his kids or trying his best to make his wife not regret marrying a radio guy.
