I recently watched a video on YouTube under “Funny car wash video kids” as key words. But after watching this, I would say that this is a must-watch video for all parents taking young children to the car wash for the first time. We are all captivated by all the wonderful expression of children, even the silliest ones! However, what may seem funny to us may not be the case for young children.
This video showed a toddler going through a car wash. Her horrified big brown eyes as she watched the bubbles and brushes were anything but funny.She did not know what was happening.She felt she was being attacked. The mother was trying her best to comfort her from the front seat but the expression on her child's face showed that she was terrified.
I believe parents should give their kids some information about what is going on and what to expectbefore they bring their kids to a carwash. It may sound silly, but after watching other videos ofterrified toddlers during a car wash, parents should be forewarned about the effects on young children -- especially if they are not told about what happens.
When Purchasing New or Used Vehicles Put Child Safety First!
If you have children , choosing a safety-oriented vehicle is most likely one
of your concerns. Here are a few things to consider in selecting a vehicle
that is perfect for your family's needs.
Blind Area's in Car's
Physically check to see where your blind spots are on your own vehicle.
Simply have another person kneel or hold something at a child's height, sit
in your driver's seat and look for any blinds pots you may have while
backing up. Rear view video camera's or parking assist camera's are one
addition to the family that may save everyone from knowing how dangerous
blind spots can be when backing up.
Car seats or safety belts
There must be by law, a latch tether system or lower anchor system built in
for all car's made after Sept 1st 2002. Children's car seats must fit
securely in your new Pre Owned Vehicle or New Vehicle. Try your car seat out
just to make sure it is compatible with the Vehicle. The police are also
able to assist with verifying your car seat has the proper specifications.
Be mindful that there are weight restrictions on car seats as well as front
seat belts ( due to the air bag release mechanism releases).
Locking systems for Window's
Windows are fun to play with, even for adults. However they can prove fatal
for young children as they explore boundaries in sticking their head out the
window to gain a different perspective. Most injuries occur when the keys
are in the ignition and the child leans out and accidentally hits the window
button. Most of the newer vehicles have the safety locks that allow the
driver to lock the rear windows shut. In the event that there is not a
switch, remember to turn your car off and pull the key's out so no mischief
can occur.
