Safety latch - a must when there are small children in the car
Door latches, window latches and child locks are features that should be used if the driver is carrying small children.
Children are a very active group, even when participating in traffic. Therefore, when there are small children in the car, drivers need to pay attention to the following:
First of all, limit the number of children sitting in the front seat to prevent them from touching the vehicle's operating function keys. Special attention must be paid to locking the doors and windows to prevent children from opening them from the inside. The location of the door and window locks is above the driver's door.
For added safety, the two rear doors should also be equipped with door locks. Therefore, before operating, the driver should put them in the locked position so that children cannot open the doors from inside the car, even when sitting in the back seat.
Experts also recommend that if you have young children traveling frequently, especially those under 4 years old, you should equip them with child seats.
Drivers should also never leave children in the vehicle without adult supervision, even for a few minutes.
At that point, due to their excitement, the child may release the handbrake and cause the car to roll down the road. There are many points in the car where a child can become trapped or even injured. On warm days, the temperature inside the car can rise rapidly and reach dangerous levels very quickly, causing the risk of hyperthermia and even death.
In addition, leaving small children in the car without supervision can cause unpredictable inconveniences. They can press all the control buttons in the car, leave the lights on without you noticing, and mess up other settings in the car. If you are not careful, you may have difficulty starting the car the next morning because your child left the headlights on all night.
