When it's cold, the last thing you think about when putting your children in the car is taking off their coats, but what if we tell you that if you do that, you could save their lives? In the event of an accident, wearing a coat on a car seat can be fatal. Although a frontal accident is not the same as a lateral accident ... There are many types of accidents and each one has its risks.
For example, if there is a frontal accident and the child is sitting in the direction of travel, the inertia is greater and if the child is wearing a coat and belts a little loose, the baby's chest will slip between the belts and the body is flexed forward so that the spine and neck will be severely affected and it can even cause death.
The jacket causes volume and if it is also slippery the child will not be traveling safely enough. In the event of an accident, if the child wears the coat, his body will be much more attached to the belt that will be able to do its job correctly in the event of an accident. It is better not to put a coat on the child and put it over it, put a blanket on it or put the car heater on if it is installed among its functions. Children must always be well restrained and seated, even if the journey is two minutes, you never know what may happen!
Remember that in addition to the belt, your child must be seated in a child restraint system appropriate to his size and weight. Never, under any circumstances, should a child (or adult) travel by car without adequate security measures, it is no longer because of the fine ... it is because thousands of lives could be saved per year in this way.
