There’s nothing we take more seriously than the safety of our children. It’s at the top of most of our research lists and the number one motivator when it comes to buying a new or used car. Your Hackettstown Area Honda dealer wants to review a few guidelines to help keep your little ones safe.
Car Seats
There is nothing more effective at keeping a child safe than a car seat. It is the very first step in ensuring your child stays safe in the car. It should go without saying that kids should always ride in car seats, but it’s also important to think about where they are. Car seats should always be in the back seat of the car and the child should be facing the rear window. Front seat airbags can be dangerous to kids, especially small ones, and facing the rear helps protect their necks in the event of a forward collision.
Preventing Heat Stroke
It’s terrible when we hear in the news that a child has died because of being left in the car. Most of us know not to do this, but it’s also important to be aware of your child. Too much sun or a car that’s too hot, even when you’re in it, can prove too much for their systems to cool down.
Toys
It may be obvious that very small children probably shouldn’t be left alone with very small or very sharp toys, but this is especially important in the car. If a bump at the wrong time from someone following too close can result in injury.
