Ensuring Child’s Safety in Your Ford

Those of you who have children will know how important it is to make sure that your children are just as safe as you when they are in the vehicle with you. Ensuring that their seats and restraints are properly fitted to the vehicle.

In the back of the vehicle there are certain fastening points where your childs seat will attach to, it is very important that you use only the correct fastening points that are provided by Ford to fasten your childs seat in. Any other fastening points that you make or get out of another vehicle may not be strong enough and may not mount properly into your Ford. Always make sure that the seat is correctly and tightly fastened into place before putting your child into the car.Young children should never be allowed to sit in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an airbag. Although airbags save the lives of adults, they may do some serious injury or worse to a child that is sitting in the front seat and is hit by them. Airbags are a controlled explosion, which means they come out with a great deal of force. The airbag would hit the child in a different position as to where they would hit an adult due to the height difference. The airbag could cause serious facial and neck damage to your child if they are sitting in the front when the airbag deploys.

Following these couple simple things will help you protect your child in the event of a car accident, and possibly save their life.
