Child-Safe Features to have in your Car

When it comes to your children’s safety inside the car, don’t leave anything to mere chance. You should see to it that you can gear up your trusted family vehicle with any of these safety features:

Ovverride Window Lock – This device allows you to control the car windows from the driver’s seat, so you don’t have to panic whenever your children inadvertently open the window while they rummage around in the back seat, out of their seatbelts.

Anti-Lock Brakes – With the help of this particular safety device, you have little to worry about when driving through icy or otherwise slippery terrain, because the system allows you a more efficient brake system, where you can have steering control even as you step on the brakes.

Rear Seat Belts – Your car’s backseat should have center lap seat belts as well as a couple of shoulder belts for optimum safety. The former is best for setting up a booster seat to secure a toddler or infant.

Reclining Seats – As much as possible, opt for cars with seats that you can recline, especially if you have toddlers, since they will need about a 45 degree angle to get to sleep comfortably inside your car while you drive.

Electronic Stability System – An electronic stability program helps keep you and your car safe (and everyone in it) by sensing trouble on the road. When it senses that the vehicle is about to get out of control, this system works to stabilize the car.
