Ensure that the car seat is correctly fitted
It does not matter how secure a car seat is if it is not installed correctly. Although it is the shop staff who install the car seat when you buy it, you as a driver are always responsible for everything being done correctly.Car seats are moved frequently between cars. It is of the utmost importance that the car seat is correctly installed after each move. If you are unsure whether your child's car seat is properly installed, you can 1) read the accompanying manual 2) watch an installation video on our website or 3) visit your dealer and ask them for help.
Tighten the seat belt properly
It is extremely important that the seat belt is properly tensioned and is close to the child's body. To check if it is tight enough, try folding the belt at the shoulder section. If this is possible, the harness is not tight enough.Leave the carrying handle in the upright position
Many people believe that the handle on the baby cover is just a handle. What many do not know is that the most important feature of carry handle is that it acts as a protection against rotation in the event of an accident. Therefore, the carry handle or "collar" should always be left in upright position when the baby cover is used in the car to limit uncontrolled movements in the event of an accident.No loose items in the car
Entertaining children during longer journeys can be challenging. It is therefore common for children to have different toys such as tablets or the like during the trip. Hard, loose objects can be very dangerous in an accident as they become extremely heavy and can fly around in the car.Use accessories that help solve both small and large problems
Many smart accessories that make traveling easier and safer. An example is our belt collectors . As children who go backwards grow older, they can learn to get out of the car seat even if the seat belt is properly secured. Belt collectors restrict belt freedom of movement and prevent children from getting loose. Another smart thing to acquire is the sleeping pillow which makes it extra comfortable for your children during a nap.If you have children who are facing backwards, we recommend using a baby mirror , so you can keep an eye on your child in the back seat. A calm driver leads to safer journeys!
When choosing accessories, always check that they are crash tested! For example, if a mirror or kick guard is not crash tested, there is a risk that they will detach from their brackets and pose a risk in a collision.
Keep your child backwards
Our final tip for a safe trip is to let your child go back as long as possible. It is statistically proven that it is 5 times safer to let children go backwards. Therefore, be sure to choose a car seat that grows with your child. The length of the back, the head protection can be increased and the possibility of increasing the legroom is of the utmost importance.Never wear fluffy winter jackets
Fluffy jackets can make it harder to tighten the belt properly as it causes too much air between the body and the belt.Did you know that it is not uncommon for babies to cry in baby covers sooner or later?
Is your baby sometimes unhappy and maybe crying while driving? Don't worry, that doesn't mean they will always be in the car. Babies' development is fast and the older they get the more they want to see and experience.The seat angle of a baby cover is very reclined as it is the most optimal angle at the beginning of use. When the baby gets older it sometimes does not want to be strapped into a supine position and only be able to look up at the ceiling. Changing to a second car seat when the child meets the requirements for it often makes them happy again. They will then sit higher up in the car and can see the surroundings through the side windows and the rear window. If a mirror is installed, the child can also communicate with those in the front seat, which is usually appreciated.
Always contact your dealer for advice on whether your child is ready to change to the next car seat.
