Video testimony of a family accident in which her baby was traveling against the counter

The first that we want to thank this family for having shared with us everything that happened in the accident they had a few days ago.

Talking about child safety in the car is serious and sometimes very hard. Today's post is perhaps one of the most useful we've written so far. Almost all baby products may be 'expendable', but car seats THEY ARE ALWAYS NECESSARY! The car is the place where children are most vulnerable.

One of the things that most What strikes us is that every day we meet parents who do not have correct information about child restraint systems. We are concerned about things like, for example, that on many occasions they ask us:

• Evolutionary chairs that last as long as the child will need the restraint system. It usually happens that in this type of chair some of the stages do not cover the child's adjustment needs well. Group 1 is usually large. For example, if we need a 37 in our footwear, a shoe that goes from 37 to 40 will not be equally attached. But each baby has different sizes, so we always recommend trying the chair before buying it.
• Approved carrycots. Although there are carrycots on the market that are approved for the car, they are not safe. These devices only hold the baby by the waist and when traveling lying down, in the event of an impact, the head (which is not well protected) can collide with any of the sides of the device. In addition, the belt exerts pressure on the chest and the neck is free, causing injuries due to uncontrolled movement of the head. The safest retention system for the first months of life is Group 0

There are many things to value when buying a car seat, which is why we believe that the information should be accessible to everyone. Our goal as of today is to write posts on this blog that will help you understand the important points to be considered before choosing a restraint system for your baby.

The first thing we want to convey is that

The safest way to travel for a baby, from birth to (minimum) three years old, is backwards.

In this link you can get an idea of why.

It is true that the moment we become parents, we cannot obtain a master's degree in baby anatomy, physics or engineering. But we can demand, both brands and childcare stores, that they form and transmit knowledge in a clear and simple way.

An example of this' unclear 'information is when you go shopping and they tell you:'Obviously this chair is safe because it is certified. ' If you ever hear this in a store Run away!

 All chairs on the market are approved, but that does not mean they are safe. The purpose of the homologation is to establish the basic requirements that the chair must meet: the installation, the fabrics, and the weight of the child, but it does not measure safety. The approval is the same for the most complete chair on the market as for the most basic. We will talk about it in future posts.

But let's get back to what matters to us in this article, the direction of travel and the possibility that a baby will come out of an accident unscathed. We have heard many times talk about children who have not been saved or who have been left with very serious consequences, as in the case of Jackson Taylor It seems that they always sound far away to us, we don't know too many families who have gone through something like that and that's when you can think 'That won't happen to me because I'm careful'.

Well, even in minor accidents, with unharmed adults, there are children who are not so lucky (example here).

Now we have met a family who have been able to explain their experience to us, luckily with a chair against the wheel and with a happy ending.

Thanks to this story, we hope that you understand that it is important for us to emphasize that children in reverse travel safer.

Our recommendation is that before buying a child restraint system

INVESTIGATE, GET INFORMED, AND THEN TAKE IT BACK AGAIN

During this month we will be publishing more technical and specific information about children traveling in the opposite direction to the march. Do not lose sight of us, soon you will receive more information.

If you think it is important, share.
