Whenever you are splitting up your focus between texting and driving, I can promise you that something is going to happen. Not only are you going to be putting yourself at a greater risk than if you were just concentrating on driving but you are not going to be as focused on either item.

Texting is something that can wait. When you are driving, there is absolutely no reason why you should be texting or even using your cell phone as the driving portion is where you attention should lie.

Driving is not easy – it is something that takes focus and concentration not just to pay attention to the road but to pay attention to other people, as that is the major reason people get into accidents. Keep that in mind.

It is a brand new year folks and what better way to start off the brand new year than to talk about texting and driving. To be perfectly honest, in this day and age, it seems like every single teenager and young adult has a brand new cell phone that they are just waiting to try out.

Cell phones these days seem more like mini-computers than anything and I can tell you for sure that they are dangerous, especially if you are using them while you are driving. Driving is something that take a heck of a lot of focus and when you are attempting to multi-task while driving, things can happen and the risk gets heightened.

Now that we have discussed a little bit about the car seat itself, let’s go ahead and talk about some of the things that you, as a parent can really keep tabs on and make sure that your child is safe. The first thing that you need to do is make sure that you test your car seat for safety. This means that you want to make sure that it is very durable and will be able to sustain in an accident.

Next, you want to make sure that you put it in correctly – this is a huge part of what is wrong with the car seat safety area … most people have no idea how to put a car seat in. Luckily, if you drop by your local fire department, they can actually help teach you the right way to put in a car seat.

Putting in a car seat correctly is the most important thing and if a certified fire fighter shows you how to put one in … make sure you listen!

Child Seats: Are They Safe? 1

When you think about transporting your child in your car – what is usually the first question that comes to your mind? Well, to mind is that child seats are they really safe? To me – I don’t know – I don’t have a child but really, for those of you that do, have you ever asked yourself that? Car crashes are actually at the top of the list for causes of death and injury for American children.

Did you know that most of those are actually because the parents do not know how to use the child seat and therefore did not put in right or did not strap their child into it right? That is not the entire story though, NHTSA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration actually did some tests on car seats and found that many different brands were not safe either.

While this might have been corrected now – there is still some concern. That is what we are going to explore in the next blog, how you can prevent your child from becoming a statistic.
