Tips Safe Baby Carrying in the Car

A pediatric study conducted in the United States (American Academy of Pediatrics), suggested that the newborn or 2-year-old has not been placed in a special chair with a rear-facing position in the car.

Reported by the Daily Mail, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, the position is considered to protect children from injury to the head, neck, and spine, when the car they were traveling crashed.

The study, published in the medical journal Injury Prevention revealed that children younger than 2 years, 75 percent more likely to be killed or badly injured in a position facing the front of the vehicle during the accident.

That's according to parents driving their concentration. They are also worried about her baby legs bent toward the rear seat.

"I think it's just a design issue for any infant seat. Special seats should pay attention to the baby's safety and comfort," said Ronald Medford, senior traffic safety agency in the United States

Strive for the right hand not to cross over to the left, past the Pk. 12.00. Similarly, the left hand should not cross over to the right. In other words, the movement of the left hand only from the position of Pk. 12:00 back to the position of Pk. 6:00, while the right-hand movement of the position of Pk.

conventional distance

Department of Transportation introduced a simple way to measure a safe distance, the distance calculation is directly proportional to the speed of the car. For example, a car traveling at 60 kph means having a safe distance of 60 m. Similarly, while at 100 kph, auto ideally 100 m.
