Advice of professionals on the transport of children in the car

A child is the most important and valuable passenger in your cabin. And here it is important not only to bring it safe and sound, but also to provide all the necessary conditions for its comfortable pastime. Therefore, we face two tasks-to protect the little passenger from possible injuries and to protect themselves from children who may distract from the road.

So, remember once and for all-under no reason do not carry the baby in your arms. Even if you are not a driver and can comfortably sit in the rear seats. If an emergency happens suddenly, you simply cannot hold it, because in such situations its mass increases 4 times.

Alas, but still the security systems of cars are calculated only for adults. They do not take into account neither height, nor weight, nor features of children. Therefore, it is necessary to install additional systems-children's car seats.

Responsibility for improper transportation of children

Unfortunately, not every parent understands the importance of buying a child car seat, so the legislation is trying to maximize the necessary safety for kids. The laws of many countries prohibit the transport of children even without the use of special restraining mechanisms. Alas, such changes have not reached Ukraine yet, therefore the safety of your children is completely in your hands.

Seat and fasten

You can’t safely fasten your baby if he is wearing a winter jacket. Therefore, take care of the right temperature in the cabin and do not be lazy to remove outer clothing. Check that the child was not only securely fixed, but also that he was comfortable. The first few times it will be difficult to seat him, but after a while you will be able to find the most comfortable posture and find out all the nuances of your car seat

In the direction of travel or against?

Imagine a 12-year-old child who sits against the movement of cars. Probably, this can not be found. And all because at this age provides the standard position of the passenger during travel. Therefore, for each age-its own rules.

The armchairs of the first group are best placed against the stroke, because this way you can ensure a uniform load on the spine. Yes, and with a possible strike provides maximum protection.

Used or new?

We do not argue that you can buy a lot of used goods, but in the case of a car seat, such savings should be avoided. If the car seat has already participated in emergency situations, it will not be able to provide the necessary safety. Sometimes the traces of such incidents are difficult to find on the case, and sellers are often silent about such nuances. Therefore, it cannot be said that the used child seat used, even in perfect condition, can cope with its tasks to the full.

How to accustom the child to the car seat?

Many parents do not want to endure the cries and objections of the kids to their new place, so they quickly give up and agree to give up security. But find other ways. For example, teach your child to the car seat gradually: sit him and at home for several hours, so that the new place in the car was already familiar to him. If you go on a long journey, here you need to try and devote maximum time to the baby. Cartoons on gadgets, entertaining drawings, games-all this will allow you to safely and comfortably reach your destination.

Also plan more stops so that the children can somehow move and relax. Sit next to the baby, especially if it is a child under 5 years old. And by the way, night trips are an ideal time, since small passengers fall asleep and you can quickly get to your destination.
