Reminder when driving with children

Before buying a carseat, check niyo muna sa NHTSA at baka recalled yung model na bibilhin niyo o kaya hindi approved.

pwede naman yung bata sa harap (although the best place is the back seat, minsan kasi impractical e), kaya lang, dapat properly restrained with the appropriate equipment. siguro ang absolute exception lang ay infant seats in an airbag-equipped vehicle. safe ba yung standard-power airbags for properly restrained children in the front passenger seat?

Thanks kimps and boybi! check ko pagbaba ko diyan sa manila. may bagong standard ngayon ang restraint systems para sa mga cars sa US,. It's called LATCH (Lower Anchorages and Tethers for Children) It allows the installation of car seats without using the car seatbelts. The seat is installed via bars that are factory built in the vehicle seats. These bars are installed in all vehicles that were manufactured after September 2002 (US lang ata)

ganyan na din ang nabili kong carseat, sadly, walang ganyang feature mga cars namin.

ya, it's really dangerous if the kid isn't secured in the car... yung niece ko ever since she was young we taught her that seat belts are important and stuff... Nowadays (she's 5 now) she always buckle up and stays at the back... if you have a kid at the rear tapos wala kang child seat, iatras nyo sagad yung passenger seat para in case nag sudden brake, di malakas ang impact ng bata...

I've been eyeing for a recaro car seat but the price is quite absurd, hehe, especially if you have to get a bigger one as the kid grows :P

safe ba na sa front passenger seat umuupo yung wife ko habang kalong niya yung baby namin? naka-seatbelt naman kasi sila at ganito kami lagi pag umaalis. Or maybe sa likod dapat sila umupo?

hmmm...ako naman di ko mapayagan yung anak ko na nagiisa sa likod..lalo na kung yun van ang dala ko...

madalas kasi nadidisgrasya yung anak ko kung nasa likod sya...sa umpisa,magsi-seatbelt yan ,pero sandali lang tapos magtatambling na sa likod...hihinto ko pa sa tabi yung kotse at aawayin ko pa bago titigil.:D..(kakapagod na nga magdrive, pati sa kakasaway dun sa bata).

kaya ako, sa harap na lang yung bata..pero laging naka-seat belt.(atleast nakikita ko sya)..At Super Bagal & Ingat na lang sa pag-drive.
