Save your children during driving with proper winter wear

During winters, you need to take extra care of children while going out. You need to ensure that they have proper protection form cold so that they do not fall ill. In order to provide ultimate warmth, you need to layer your kids with proper woollens and winter wear so that they remain warm and comfortable while they are out in cold. When you are going out with kids in a car, then you need to take extra precautions regarding what your kid wears as wrong clothing can cause more harm than good. 

Here are some clothing tips that can ensure maximum safety of your kids while on the drive.

Avoid fluffy coats and jackets

There is a big reason after avoiding fluffy and thick jackets for kids while driving. The thick coats and jackets compress during a crash and cause the harness or seat belt to loosen up. This causes the child to eject from the harness and get injured. No matter how tight you strap the harness, during the crash, a high amount of energy is exerted on the clothing making it compressed to extreme levels. This compression leaves a large spacing between the child’s body and the harness leaving a chance for major injury during the crash. No matter you put a blanket, a fluffy jacket or snow pad with your kid; it will have the same effect. 

Ideal clothing for your kids while driving in winters

First of all, no fluffy and thick winter wear for kids while they are in the car. An ideal option could be fleece. You can choose a single piece outfit for your kid made up of fleece. Fleece is denser than foam or cotton and does not compress in case of a crash. This leaves no chances for a slack between harness and the body of your child. If your child is a bit older, then you can go for fleece jackets. There are many options for kids jackets online. Layer your kids smartly during going out on a journey. They can wear cotton tights under fleece pants and nice cotton shirt under a fleece jacket. If you expect a lot of wind, then a wind breaker is a good idea. It can easily go over the fleece jackets and save your child from winds. If you have an infant with you, then make sure that you use a shower cap style cover as it keeps your kid safe from cold and wind, and also, is best for the safety belt as it does introduces any slack between the harness. If you want to put some extra protection from cold to your child, then you can put an extra blanket on him over the harness. As the harness will be under the blanket there are no chances of slack or gapping between the harness and the child.
