7 Car Seat Tips for Parents: Do This Before You Go on a Trip
When traveling with a child by car, parents must, first of all, take care of the baby’s safety.
This can be done using a child car seat.
But before you go on a trip, make sure you are familiar with the latest tips on how to use it.
1. Never install a rear-facing car seat in the front passenger seat unless you have deactivated the front airbags. These airbags are designed to protect adults, and if they "meet" a child, they can cause serious injury.
2. Carefully read the instructions for installing and using the car seat.
3. The chair should be installed as tightly as possible to the car seat. Before each trip, do not be lazy to check its installation.
4. The straps that hold the child in the seat should be tightened so that one or two of your fingers fit between the child's chest and the strap. Do not tighten the straps too tightly or loosen them.
5. Do not allow your baby to play with the belt buckles to avoid them accidentally coming unfastened while moving.
6. Do not close the belt buckles so that you have quick access to them in an emergency - this is necessary to remove the child from the seat as quickly as possible.
7. Install an additional rearview mirror to keep an eye on your son or daughter while driving. This will reduce the chance of an accident.
