OP - I think you and DH need to think long and hard about asking your teenager to take over carpooling duties for either one of you of younger siblings for any number of reasons.  Even if he is responsible and seems to be doing well at driving skills, add siblings interacting, radio or CD player on, a sibling's friend along and you really are upping the ante for an accident.  If you go this route it should be after a good year of driving when you can be sure he will enforce the seat belt rules, will know the routes so he does not have to be distracted with GPS, will not use his phone - even at lights to talk or text.  And I would still be very reluctant to have him driving other folks' kids.  You should in all cases make sure with the other parents that it will be  your teenager and not you or DH doing your carpool shift. If he is a brand new driver of any age, I shudder at the possible consequences because there is a lot more to driving than just operating the car. [/quote]
