After the holidays, the children resume the schedules and have to get up early to go to school. You will have to organize to give them plenty of time to eat breakfast, dress, wash and comb their hair, and start the day without stress. If you are the parents who take them in your private car, the ride in the car can be a lot of fun despite the traffic jams. It all depends on how you plan it, but just make sure your little one always travel properly sitting in a child restraint system.
Unhurried and well tied to the chair
The rush is bad in the car. It is preferable to get up early for half an hour rather than go out all nervous and drive at full speed so as not to be late. Those extra thirty minutes a few days will help us not to delay any unforeseen events and others can take advantage to stretch us in bed and pamper ourselves, nothing better to start the day well.
Once in the vehicle, the most important thing for the child's safety is use an approved Child Restraint System (S.R.I.), whose use is mandatory. When choosing the S.R.I. guide you by the weight and size of the child, not by age. If it weighs between 15 and 36 kilos (approximately 4 to 12 years old) you need a chair of group 2 and 3, such as Oasys 2-3 Fixplus from Chicco, which adapts to your child's growth because it Adjust in height and width.
With this type of chairs for "seniors", the belt must pass over the child's clavicle, over the shoulder, without touching the neck, and the lower belt band must be above the hips, on the thighs, never on the stomach
As important as choosing the right restraint system and going properly moored is to fix this device firmly to achieve stability, something provided in the Oasys 2/3 FixPlus chair through the combined use of safety straps and FixPlus rigid connectors.
To make the child travel comfortable, recline the backrest and adjust the width of the seat. The headrest side reinforcements not only protect, but also come great to support the head. Dress him in comfortable, baggy clothes that don't give him warmth, maybe the coat is over.
Share the songs of your childhood
We all know the songs of Cantajuegos and similar for children, but what if you take advantage of the paths to share with them those that were part of your childhood? Surely they bring you very good memories and the little ones will have a great time learning them.
In Spotify you will find listings such as "I went to EGB" or "To my 30-year-old children" who collect the songs we heard as children. You can also put hits from your time through the Retrojam website: where indicating your date of birth several playlists appear to listen on Spotify with the songs that sounded at the time.
More safe bets to distract them in the car: the Veo Veo game, the chained words or, better yet to stimulate creativity, chained stories in which you start a story and the rest of the people continue it in turns. Super fun! In the How to get them to stop asking "when we arrive" in the car post, you will find many more ideas.
