I bought our FB about 1 month after our second son was born! He did his first car show at 2.5 months old I just put money into the car when I can other than that it doesn't cost too much. If it is a stock looking car then see about applying for Alberta collector car plates. The insurance is drastically cheaper than regular driver car insurance... it really helps a lot. It was also great for giving the wife a break and I'd take the boys out for a cruise - and we did that a lot the first couple years.
