Vechhole for a seat - safety and comfort on travel!
The carrier's cover is an element that every parent should think about when planning a car travel with their toddler. This is not only an addition that increases the child's comfort, but also an element affecting his safety. In this article we will answer the most important questions about the swaddle to the seat so that you can make the best choice for your child.
Is the swaddle to the seat necessary?
The swaddle to the seat, although not a must, significantly increases the level of comfort and safety of the toddler while driving. It is particularly useful in the autumn and winter when the outside temperature is low.
Veneer for the seat. What are its advantages and disadvantages?
Advantages:
- It provides heat and comfort for the child.
- Protects against hypothermia and anticipation.
- It can be used as a blanket or sleeping bag.
- Facilitates moving a child home without waking up.
- A properly fitted swaddle allows you to fasten your belts without a jacket. Loze resulting from the seat belt fastening for a winter jacket can cause injury during an accident.
Defects:
- Some models can be difficult to install or mismatched to your seat (spacing of the belts for launching).
- Additional investment.
Is sleeping in a swaddle safe?
Yes, provided that the swaddler is properly mounted and matched to the car seat. It is important that he does not limit the child's movements and does not interfere with the proper fastening of the seat belts.
How to choose a carrier's wrapper?
When choosing a swaddle, pay attention to:
- Material: it should be soft, airy and easy to clean.
- Size: must fit into the child's seat and child's age.
- Ease of assembly and disassembly.
What bridle for the seat in spring / summer?
For warmer months, choose a wrapper from a lighter material that will provide protection against sun and light cold. Cotton, bamboo, thin Merino wool, e.g. butterfly weave. Veneepers will also work without a polyester filling (except in early spring, when low temperatures persist).
What carrier for the autumn / winter seat?
When choosing a wrapper for the winter, decide on a thicker, warmer model that will effectively protect the child from cold. Bet on merino or wool / cotton with a thicker weave, as well as models with filling. This category of swaddles includes those from Patulove - one of the brands with whom we have been cooperating since their swaddles have proven themselves with our children :)
How to put on a swaddle to the seat?
Installation instructions are usually on the label or in the user manual. Usually, the point is to match the holes in the swaddler to the places where the seat belts come out. The swaddle is therefore an additional, detachable layer. under the child's body. On the other hand, the belts themselves are fastened directly on the first or second layer of the child's clothing, not on a jacket or overalls, which significantly increases the ancientity of their proper work during the collision. It is very important that the swaddler is properly adapted to the seat and does not interfere with the work of the seat belts.
How much time can a child be in a swaddle?
There is no set time limit, but it is important that the child does not spend too long periods without interruption, especially if he is very small. In this case, you can follow the general recommendations regarding the time of staying a small child in a car seat (having in mind primarily the child's attitude while lying in the seat):
20 min break every 2 hours of driving in a car seat
Exception - night driving or in the pores of naps, when it is more important to maintain the correct rhythm of the child's sleep (his individual routine). If 2 hours pass and the infant sleeps, because usually around 12 falls asleep for 3 hours, it is worth waiting until he decides when the stop begins.
What to wear a child under the carrier to the car seat?
It is recommended to wear a child in one layer less than normally (e.g. without a jacket), because the swaddle provides additional heat.
What better sleeping bag or a swaddle?
The choice between the sleeping bag and the swaddle depends on individual preferences. The sleeping bag is usually warmer, but the swaddle can be more universal. The swaddler will also serve longer, because it usually provides for the option of releasing the child's feet when it starts to walk.
Is it worth buying a newborn wrapper?
