Bought new car yesterday and driving 5 hours in it today with toddler and newborn. is that new car smell dangerous to them?

Chemical irritants: Children with chronic lung diseases such as asthma may experience a flare from strong odors, but otherwise healthy children should suffer no long term problems. Respiratory tissue irritation is possible, but can be addressed by improving ventilation in the car.
