A car seat is designed to prevent your baby from being jolted or thrown forward when the car brakes suddenly, ensuring safety for your little one while traveling and allowing parents to drive without worrying about their restless child. Understanding the customers' needs, car seat manufacturers have introduced special designs suitable for different ages, weights, and types of vehicles. When you put your baby in a car seat, you always feel that they are protected the most. Conversely, if you put your baby in a car without a car seat, the consequences can be inevitable. Here are the thoughts of those involved:
Secure the seatbelt and position the baby correctly
'I used to be careless, holding my baby thinking it was safe enough, but when Dad suddenly braked, both of us lurched forward. Luckily, the baby was fine, but I felt a bit of pain'. Since that incident, I realized why it's important to use a car seat for my child. Chi Chi in Long Bien, Hanoi, shared her experience.
Choose a car seat suitable for your baby's age and weight
Similarly, in such situations, Mr. Hoang, a director at a hospital in Hanoi, shared,'I used to think putting my baby in the car and fastening the seatbelt was enough, but my child's lively and mischievous nature always disturbed me while driving, refusing to sit still. Removing the seatbelt made it impossible for me to drive, but since buying this car seat, I always feel safer for my baby and more at ease when driving.
Establishing a habit for your baby when going out with a car seat
Phuong Hien, working at Kanggaru, shared: 'I see many families don't prioritize putting their baby in a car seat when going out, thinking that holding the baby in their arms will be safe, but it's not true. Especially when the baby is restless during the journey, and sudden braking can be very dangerous for the baby. But having a safe car seat will bring peace of mind and make driving more comfortable.'
Install the seat correctly and follow the instructions
Depending on the age and weight of the baby, you can choose a car seat that suits your little one and establish a habit of using it when going out to ensure the baby's safety and gradually create a sense of enjoyment for the baby when sitting in the car seat with the family.
