It is next to impossible to never have to drive a child around. Most people drive their baby home from the hospital, take it to regular doctor’s appointments, and bring the child while running errands. However, most cars and trucks are built with adults in mind, and they are created to keep adults safe. When a child is in a car, there are certain things that you can do to help keep your precious cargo from getting injuries in case of an accident.
Overall, there are several safety features that you can have in a car to help keep both you and your child safe. Cars are now available that have side-curtain airbags to help in rollovers. Also, you can drive a vehicle with a front-seat sensor to detect the size of the person in the passenger seat. If it is a lighter child, the airbag may not inflate as much because a strong inflation can actually do more damage than a wreck itself.
Booster seats are also a good idea even for school-aged children. While not all states have rear-passenger seat belt laws, seat belts have shown to be extremely helpful in keeping a passenger from getting bumped around in a wreck. To make the belt more comfortable, you can purchase a high-back or even backless booster chair to manipulate the seat belt into a more protective position.
