These days there are many families that move to different parts of the country to enjoy a mini winter vacation. Travel by car with young children It is not always easy, they get bored, they can get dizzy, and of course, you should never neglect safety and always use the right retention system, even on short journeys.
Therefore, if you plan to leave these days, we give you some useful tips for traveling by car with babies and children.
Always use (even on short journeys) a child restraint system of the group appropriate to the child's weight and height. Group 0 (children up to 12-13 kg), Group I (children up to 18 kg), Group II (children 15 to 25 kg) and Group III (children 22 to 36 kg).
Chairs placed in the opposite direction to the march are safer. It is recommended that all children weighing up to 18 kilos travel in this way since a safety cabin is created that protects them better in case of an accident.
Almost all parents use a safety chair, but many do not place them properly. You should check that the chair is well anchored to the seat, either through the seat belts, or by the Isofix system, anchored directly to the vehicle chassis. Also check the anchors of the belt that holds the child, they have to hold him tight without tightening, but also not loose.
Make frequent stops: Children get bored and need to take a breath, so make stops every two hours. Also, if you have babies remember that they can not be more than an hour and a half in the car seat.
For avoid dizziness, try not to eat too much before the trip, prefer dry food and avoid focusing attention on a fixed point such as a game console or a book. Have him look at the landscape towards the horizon through the windshield, as this reduces the visual sensation of speed.
Children get bored easily on long journeys, so have a good entertainment plan on board. DVD movies solve a lot, but you will have a good time without playing family riddles, telling stories, watching, watching, singing and more games to practice as a family.
