Is your lap a safe spot for your baby? Not in a moving car
Hindustan TimesHow do your young children travel in the car? In Indian cities, it is uncommon to see infants or children seated in a proper car restraint system like a baby car seat, which is specially designed to keep children safe in moving vehicles. As a parent, you must choose a baby car seat that is the right size for your child – every manufacturer has norms for usage in accordance with the height and weight of the child. · The baby car seat that you choose should have an ISOFIX car system · Baby car seats start at 40 centimetres and go up to 150 centimetres in height. Choose the one that is right for your child · Look at a combination of height and weight, not only height · According to guidelines, the child should be in a rear-facing baby car seat from 40 to 70 centimetres as their neck is much weaker, and the head-to-body ratio is one-third · As far as possible, purchase baby car seats from reputable manufacturers that meet safety standards.
