Summer is finally here. Time to go back to your hometown, or to take those vacations that we have been longing for all year. Time to recharge our batteries and relax. If you are going to travel by car, make sure your children are safe.

When we travel, one of the doubts we may have concerns the safety of our children in the various means of transport we are going to use. If you have decided to travel by plane, these recommendations should be useful for you.

A question we often answer is: “When can a child stop using a booster seat in the car?” In this article we give you the different reasons why a booster seat is a vital element to be used when transporting a child up to a height of 150 cm, regardless of what the Spanish General Road Traffic Regulations (RTR) say.

In this article, we tell you why it is important that a seat belt is not twisted and must be properly adjusted so that it restrains the body correctly.

The basic principle of passive safety dictates that the safest place is the one furthest away from a collision. Since we cannot know how a collision will occur, the seat that is farthest away from all possible collisions is the center rear seat. Therefore, the safest seat is the middle rear seat.

It may seem obvious, but a simple gesture such as positioning the head restraint correctly can protect a child from injury. Using headrests properly is important when traveling with children.

Why don’t CRS have airbags like cars do? Since there are currently car seat models on the Spanish market that use this technology in a very similar way, we will explain what is involved in using an airbag with a child seat and the challenges that the manufacturers who use them with children’s car seats have had to face.

Child car seats are products designed to prevent injury (or even loss of life) to the occupant in the event of a sudden stop or traffic accident. For this reason, we must spend time making the right choice.

Impact shields are a part of a certain type of car seat that is placed over the child’s legs and secured either by the vehicle’s seat belt or by the belt on the impact shield itself. In this article we tell you how they work and how safe they are compared to other systems.

For three days, the Global Mobility Call, the first sustainable mobility conference designed to position Spain as a benchmark in this field, brought together in Madrid the leaders of the new mobility ecosystem. Our experts took part in forums and round tables with more than 300 participants from all over the world.

Seeking to promote new road safety and sustainable mobility policies worldwide, in 2004 the European Commission launched the European Road Safety Charter, an initiative that all organisations working in this field can support. By endorsing the charter, organisations can contact other institutes with which they can share best practices, receive information and take part in the Road Safety Excellence Awards, among other benefits.

When traveling with your pet in the car, you must know the necessary guidelines to do it safely. Here are some recommendations to follow.

In general, when we purchase a child restraint system, we do not ask how long it will last or if it will deteriorate over time. We assume that we can use it indefinitely, forgetting that this restraint system is essential for the safety of our children.

The arrival of a new family member always brings changes to the family environment: we have to prepare a room, buy everything we need and, especially when it is the third child, we must prepare for a new kind of mobility.

Much has been written about submarining, but in most cases this effect is addressed in terms of the consequences and the technical explanation of how it occurs, and not in terms of the actions we should take to avoid it or minimize it as much as possible.

Learn about the necessary steps involved in the process of creating a child car seat so that it can reach the stores and, eventually, your car.
