At this time, there are many families who travel by car to their vacation spot. In the coming days the return operation of July will take place and the operation out of August, therefore, it is essential to use child seats for car trips.
Child restraint systems prevent between 50 and 80 percent of fatal and serious injuries in the event of an accident, which is why the Spanish Association of Products for Children (ASEPRI) urges the use of child seats in cars , since traffic accidents continue to be the leading cause of mortality in Spanish children.
Last year it has been known that 40% of children killed in traffic accidents did not use any child restraint system, being a priority, throughout the year, but especially at this time, that these safety systems are used adequately and responsibly.
Just as it is important to choose the appropriate retention system according to the child's age and weight (they are classified by groups), so is it use them correctly. It is of no use a badly installed chair or poorly held child. Almost all family cars have child seats or lifters, but often they are misused.
It is mandatory that all children measuring up to 135 centimeters travel with a child restraint system, and as advice, experts recommend placing the car seats in the opposite direction as they are safer in case of an accident.
Therefore, we take this opportunity to remind parents that Children's chairs are a must for car trips.
