Often times parents are children are on the go, and Phillipsburg Area Honda warns that we can easily forget the hazards that loom right inside our own vehicles. Be sure to take some time and review what could be dangerous to your children while driving.
Utilize What Comes With Your Car
Many cars come equipped with child safety features. It is up to us to use them. The number one safety feature is child safety locks. These are located on the doors themselves. When you open the door look along the frame to indicate where the child safety switch is. Once activated your child will not be able to open the door from the inside.
Be Proactive With Child Safety Features
Another safety feature is the child safety locks on the window. This feature is typically located in the driver’s seat. Often times there is a button next to the window controls which allows you to activate the child safety features for the windows. When this is activated, the driver is the only one in the vehicle who can raise and lower the windows. This keeps children from accidentally closing themselves in the window or throwing things out of the window.
Keep Your Keys Close
Be sure to never hand your child the keys to your car. One parent recently reported letting her child play with her keys as she walked around the car to enter in the driver’s side. Before she made it the child had accidentally hit the lock button. In this instance the child was locked inside the car and the parent had to call for assistance. Depending on the weather this could be a very dangerous situation.
