Comfortable and safe travel of a preschooler. What to look out for?

You probably remember trips from your childhood - perhaps with your parents, or with your peers. Toddlers of school and preschool age rode buses in which one could look in vain for seat belts, and not even a single child seat could be seen on the rear seats of cars. Today, parents are more aware of the need to take care of their child's safety. Not only do they buy the best seats, but they also urge teachers to hire coaches that meet modern standards. However, it is not uncommon for them to forget the little things that also affect the comfort and safety of driving. Today we will talk about them.

1. Safety seat

The basis for safe car travel is, of course, a car seat that is well matched to the car and the child. It should have a track record of independent crash tests, and most importantly - passed with good results. Examples include cybex car seat Solution, a model for children weighing 15-36 kg. In tests, it achieved a high rating of 4, which gives you confidence that your child is perfectly protected in it. The construction of the seat, in particular the adjustable headrest and sides, allows you to accurately adjustment to the current height and construction of the child. On the other hand, the car belt guides help to guide the car belt in the right way, so that it lays as recommended and protects the young person's delicate body.

2. Window cover

There is no gadget that makes life easier than a car window cover. Perfectly it protects the baby's delicate eyes from the glaring rays of the sun and allows you to take a nap during a long journey. Particularly noteworthy are the static shields, which are glued directly to the glass pane. This is because the ones with suction cups are mounted on frames that, if the cover detaches, can hit the child. A versatile and frequently used way to shield your child from the sun is also to hanging up a tetanic diaper on the window.

3. Crayons, toys, mascots

When traveling, children get bored, and the "far away yet" question asked at a frequency of sixty times an hour can test the calm of even the most patient parent. Therefore, they usually resort to proven solutions: the child's favorite toy, painting with crayons, puzzles, blocks. They have a lot of advantages and one disadvantage - they are not safe. In the event of sudden braking, all loose objects can pose a danger to passengers. So instead of hard toys take soft mascots on your trip, and stow all other items in the child's backpack. You can find cheerful designs, for example, in our 3Kiwi store.
