Baby-friendly Cars Ready to Take You on an Adventure!
Parents worst nightmare. Baby travel products themselves might be made safe, but if they depend on other products to support your baby, certain baby travel products might become faulty. However, there are certain precautions that some car manufacturers have taken pains to ensure that baby travel products do not malfunction in their cars.
For children 2-14, car accidents are the leading cause of death. The statistics are extremely jarring:
- 250,000 children are injured every year in car accidents
- Every single day 700 children are harmed on roadways
- Of those 250,000 children injured, 2,000 die
- Car seats decrease the chance of death by 71% of children under the age of 1 and by 54% of children ages 1-4
This is why child safety seats became a requirement for babies and toddlers under a certain weight. Unfortunately, 72% of nearly 3,500 tested car and booster seats were found to be used incorrectly by the parents, which might actually increase the chance of harm to their children. With all these depressing statistics, it is comforting to hear that some cars are taking measures to make it easy to install a child seat, as well as other baby-friendly products. For anyone who is looking to have a baby, or who already has a baby, here is a list of cars that make it easy to strap in car-seats. Our travel advice? Seriously look into getting one of these cars, take a class or learn properly from an expert how to guarantee the safety of your child in a car-seat.
