Precautions for children when riding in a car include: 1. Do not hail a vehicle on the roadway, and do not obstruct the passage of vehicles behind; 2. Enter and exit the vehicle from the right side, sit in the rear seats, and fasten the seat belt; 3. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front seat; 4. Do not interfere with driving while the vehicle is in motion, do not extend any part of the body outside the vehicle, and do not jump out of the vehicle; 5. Do not throw debris out of the vehicle; 6. Observe the surroundings of the vehicle before entering or exiting, and confirm that there are no pedestrians or bicycles passing before opening the door; 7. When taking public transportation, wait in an orderly manner on the platform and must stand behind the safety line.
As a parent who frequently shuttles children, child passenger safety is paramount. First and foremost, a car seat is mandatory - choose between infant carriers or boosters based on the child's age. My 4-year-old uses a five-point harness seat with ISOFIX connectors. Secondly, never let children ride in the front seat - airbag deployment has enough force to smash a watermelon! Thirdly, absolutely never leave children unattended in vehicles - summer temperatures can reach 60°C within just 10 minutes. Once when I stepped out to buy water with my child, he accidentally pressed buttons and nearly locked himself inside - still gives me chills thinking about it. Always engage child locks while driving, and crack windows slightly for ventilation. Also, avoid letting kids eat jelly or similar snacks in the car as sudden braking could cause choking hazards.
