Do you use a shopping cart cover when you take your little one to the store with you? You should. Shopping cart baby protection is a serious matter and I'm going to explain why.
Injuries sustained during vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among children in the United States (CDC 2006). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that an average of 4 deaths and 556 injuries occur each day (NHTSA 2006b). Even more troubling, NHTSA found that 72% of 3,500 observed child vehicle restraints were being used incorrectly and in the event of an accident would be expected to increase the child's risk of injury. NHTSA offers some peace of mind to these statistics. They estimate that properly used child safety seats lower children's risk of death by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers aged 1-4. Parents can further enhance the safety of their child's seat by using the following guidelines.
There are a variety of car covers. One of the first things you need to consider is if you will be need protection from outside and the elements, or is your car going to be comfortable stored in the garage.
The reason this is important is because car covers are built for outside is going to be made to withstand UV rays, hail, rain, wind and almost anything else Mother Nature can toss at it, along with flying sticks or kicked up stones. Where as car covers made for inside is going to do little else than protect the car from dust or small debris getting on it.
Not all car covers are created equally. There are a few other things to consider when picking one out other than just inside or outside. If you are going to store the car outdoors, check to see what kind of UV protection it offers. If too many UV rays get though the cover, the paint will loose shine and the upholstery can fade. It will damage the over all look of the car.
The covers are padded, completely washable, and can be crafted in organic fabric. When purchasing a cart cover, make sure that it meets your needs and that of your baby. With this in mind, it will help facilitate a worry-free shopping experience.
Child car seats are for children aged 9 months to four years. The child must be able to support their own head and weigh between 9 and 18kgs. They face forward and are normally fitted in the back seat of the car. These types of seats are for children weighing 15 to 36kgs aged approximately 4 to 11 years old. They are primarily designed to elevate the child in order they can safely use an adult seat belt.
Some websites offer custom made covers where you can add the baby's name - which is always a nice touch. I'm always on the search for a really nice, unique gift and not only is this one of those products, but this is actually extremely useful - the recipient will really appreciate it - and so will the baby - those grocery cart seats can't be comfortable.
