As parents, we are usually very vigilant with everything that concerns our kids and their safety. From holding their hands while crossing to being particular about their food and clothes or the places we take them to. Safety is the biggest lesson these two years have taught us.
However, in recent times, now that the world is moving once again (faster might I add), we are often consumed by so much around us, that we tend to brush away small things that might just be the most important- like seat belts and car seats. Especially for kids! And with most of us introducing four-wheelers in our lives, this is something you should know!
Why Are Seat Belts Important For Kids?
When you are driving anywhere, as long as they are in the front seat, you remember to fasten their seatbelts for them… but what about when they are at the back? Also, it is we who strap them up safe, they don’t do it on their own. We have to take this small thing into account. Especially when the kids are very young, they don’t like to be strapped, they move around and make a fuss. And sometimes, because of our already busy minds, we just let them be. Or if it is a short ride, we don’t bother. Are you guilty of this too?
Well, it isn’t easy to convince them initially. You need to practice this regularly for kids to get habituated to putting on their seat belts. Here’s some help!
Tips On How To Make Your Little One Buckle Up Without A Fuss:
- Have a law enforcement official in uniform show the child how to buckle up.
- Go over instructions in the car before leaving.
- Have the child see that obedient children are getting rewarded.
- Tell them a scary story about the consequences of not using the seat belt.
- Stop and turn off the car till they buckle up.
Why Car Seats?
Car seats are more preferable when it comes to kids, especially in their younger years. The use of a proper car seat while travelling with your baby can keep them away from any accident probabilities. A car seat is the best protection you can get for your baby while travelling. It helps in reducing the chance of fatal injuries due to accidents. Once you put them in their car seats, they are properly secured. You don’t need to worry about anything. Plus they are super comfy! FYI- car seats have now become mandatory in Delhi!
