Family reviewer

Nedahl has been a journalist for two decades, spending five years as editor of Cleo magazine and has been an editor at Cosmopolitan, Good Food and the Fairfax ‘Health’ section. She’s written across various topics for a range of high-profile food, health, travel and fashion-focused titles. She’s also appeared on The Today Show, Sunrise, A Current Affair, various radio programs and has been a guest judge on Australia’s Next Top Model.

Since having two children, you’ll more likely find her at the beach with the family than at a fashion show, doing a bunch of yoga classes, or cooking healthy food while drinking a glass of wine. And of course, the right family car is critical to keeping it all moving smoothly. A roomy cabin, plenty of boot space and stylish interiors rate high on her priority list. She also believes pink is the new black (except when it comes to cars) and that we should ditch single-use plastics.

Kia Carnival 2018 review: Platinum petrol
By Nedahl Stelio · 31 Jan 2018
I've spent the last month squashed into the back of five seaters, literally stuffing my shoulders in between my children's car seats, because my sister-in-law is visiting from overseas and I have been deemed 'the smallest adult in the family' (read: the only one who can fit in the backseat with the kids. It's

By Nedahl Stelio · 30 Jan 2018
Just because I have two children, do I have to be driving an SUV? Or will a wagon be good enough? I drove the Renault Megane GT-Line for a week, to find out.
