10 safety precautions for children when traveling by car

1. It is strictly forbidden to place children in car seats at will

Because when braking suddenly or turning, parents cannot control their own bodies and may crash to the front or sides just like their baby.

2. Parents are strictly prohibited from holding children

Because when braking suddenly, the parent's large body may crush the baby from behind.

3. Avoid children sitting in the front passenger seat

Not only is the passenger seat the most unsafe position in the car, but also because the baby is short. When the airbag opens in an emergency, it will not only fail to protect the baby, but will hurt the baby's head.

4. Avoid leaving children in the car for long periods of time

This is because in the summer, babies may die of dehydration or suffocation due to the heat in the car. A curious baby may also touch some switches in the car and cause danger.

5. Do not let children wear adult seat belts

Although seat belts are the most powerful weapon to prevent danger, they are designed for adults and are not suitable for babies. If the seat belt is too tight, it may cause strangulation to the baby's neck or compression injury to the waist in the event of a car accident; if it is too loose, it will not provide any protection. Children must use child safety seats when riding in a car to give them "love restraints".

6. Do not tease children while they are in the car

Because when the baby is happy, the saliva he secretes may be choked into the trachea due to the bumps in the car, causing danger.

7. Children should not eat or drink while riding in a car

The reason is simple. The bumps in the car can cause food to enter the trachea, which is extremely dangerous.

8. Children should not play with sharp toys while riding in a car

The bumps of the car may cause scratches on the baby, and sudden braking may cause serious harm to the baby's body.

9. Don’t let your child lean out of the car

First, it is very dangerous to let any part of the baby's body stick out of the car when passing or overtaking, and it is strictly prohibited by traffic regulations; second, some cars' electric windows have an automatic closing function. At this time, sticking the body, especially the head, out of the car may cause an accident due to the closed windows; third, the exhaust gas outside the car is also harmful to the baby's health.

10. Don’t let your child get in or out of the car by themselves

Babies are not strong enough to push the heavy door. If the door bounces back, it may hit or pinch the baby. In addition, when opening the car door for your baby, pay attention to the passing vehicles and whether there are puddles, manholes and other dangers under the door.
