Car People Safety

 

The No. 1 thing to remember when it comes to children and cars? Teach children well. Teaching them not to play in or around cars, and to move away from a vehicle when a driver gets in and when the car is started can significantly mitigate all rollaway deaths, back over deaths and trunk entrapment. Although many cars come with detection devices like backup cameras or radars that emit sounds when they sense an obstruction behind the car, they cannot compensate for the act of circling the vehicle to make sure everything and every one is out of the way.

 

Installing Child Seats

 

 

Safety seats are another big component of safe driving with infants and toddlers. Parents should know that children progress from rear facing, to front facing, to booster seat to seat belts--in that order, and according to manufacturer directions for height and body weight.

 

Even very small infants must be in a child seat, not a sling, soft infant carrier or harness. ("Nothing is safer than a rear-facing seat," Baer says. If the baby's head slips forward, place a rolled towel under the front edge of the baby carrier and using rolled towels on each side of the baby's head for extra support.)

 

Beat the Heat

 

 

A final precaution: Never leave children or babies unattended in a closed vehicle, even for a minute. According to NHTSA, even cool outside temperatures in the 60s can cause the car's interior to hit 110 degrees Fahrenheit and higher. (The inside temperature can rise almost 20 degrees within the first 10 minutes.) What's more, children's bodies overheat easily--infants and children fewer than four are among those at greatest risk for heat-related illness--and children are less able to lower their body heat by sweating.

 

Five Ways To Keep Your Kids Safe In The Car

 

1. Babies face backward.

 

 

Face babies backward in their car seats. And keep them that way for as long as possible up to the height or weight limit of the particular seat. At a minimum, keep infants rear facing until the age of 1 and until they weigh at least 20 pounds.

 

2. Toddlers face forward.

 

 

Keep toddlers in forward-facing car seats until they reach the upper weight or height limit of the particular car seat (usually around age 4 and 40 pounds).

 

3. Use a booster seat.

 

 

Keep young children in booster seats--in the back seat--until they are as old as 8 years or at least 4'9'' tall. One way to tell if they're positioned correctly in the booster is to look at the seat belt: It should fit with the lap belt laying across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt fitting easily across the chest.

 

4. Protect your pregnancy.

 

 

When pregnant, wear the seat belt low across the belly, with the center portion placed firmly along the breastbone. Contrary to some myths, it's always safer to wear a seat-belt, even when eight or nine months pregnant, than to not wear one for fear of crushing the unborn child in the event of a crash.

 

 

5. Never leave children inside a parked car.

 

 

According to NHTSA, even cool outside temperatures in the 60s can cause the car's interior to hit 110 degrees Fahrenheit and higher. If a child is inside the vehicle, they can quickly succumb to heatstroke and death.

 

It's happening around the world -- kids dying from being left unattended in cars. The kids that don't die suffer thermal burns from seat belt buckles, severe dehydration, kidney damage, and brain damage.

 

- Unattended children may become entrapped in the trunk, set a vehicle in motion, or be abducted.

 

- Parking in the shade or leaving windows open doesn't protect kids. Even on cool days vehicles can heat up quickly, with the greatest increase occurring in the first 15-20 minutes.

 

- If the outside temperature is 75 degrees the temperature inside the vehicle can spike to 110 degrees in just 10 minutes.

 

- Metal vehicles, especially dark ones, act like solar ovens. When the outside temperature is 93 degrees the inside temperature can shoot up to 125 degrees in 20 minutes.

 

- Infants and toddlers are more sensitive to extreme heat. According to a 2002 Centers for Disease Control report, most fatalities occur in children three years old and under.

 

- Heat stroke (hyperthermia) occurs when the body temperature reaches 104 degrees. But in many cases of heat stroke the child's body temperature had reached a whopping 108 degrees, the highest number on a thermometer.

 

- An average of 29 children died per year in 1998-2002 from being left unattended in vehicles.

 

A child should never be left unattended in a vehicle. When it comes to heat stroke, every minute counts. Call 911 immediately if you see an unattended child. Your call could save a family from sorrow.

Cheap Car

Cheap Car

If you want to know how to find cheap cars right now, then you need to think outside the box and look where most people don't - repossessed car auctions (also known as repo car auctions).

These auctions are not fully advertised because the auctioneers usually market to car dealerships and car enthusiasts who in turn frequent them and end up with some great car bargains! If you look in your local newspapers, check in the auction advertisements in the classifieds. There you will usually find all the details of upcoming auctions.

Private auction companies who target their auctions to a set list of regular attendees run these. You might also have some luck by doing an online search for local auction companies.

Another source of auctions are banks and credit unions since they often are the underwriters of the original car loans behind the vehicles, they can often lead you in the right direction.

New Car Quotes

New Car Quotes

There are so many things you must consider before getting a car quote from your local dealer. How can you avoid being bamboozled with all the car jargon, statistics, or other technical stuff you can't possibly understand sometimes? The information and tips you will read below might save you so much cash and trouble.

Always remember, although most car salespersons are probably honest hardworking people, you have to keep in mind that Sales Managers, Car Sales People, and Finance Managers all get their income through commissions. So of course they'd prefer to jack up the car quote to however higher they could possibly do so. These people have been fully trained in the complex procedures calculated to make potential buyers' emotions directed towards buying a car pronto, without enough time to think things through. There is no rush in buying a car. Take a few weeks, in fact; take months if you have to, before finally buying your car. Remember that car quotes can change as easily as the wind. The size of these profits is huge. They anticipate your haggling with their prizes, therefore, by all means, haggle their prizes to bring it down to a more sensible range.

Look for free car quotes online. Free car quotes abound everywhere. But the ones online are perhaps some of the easiest ones to get. In any case, a free car quote will make you feel less obligated in buying that car right away. But just remember that the price you will see here can most probably be significantly lowered.

Do not sign anything binding. Do not let anyone convince you that the car you are looking to buy will not be available tomorrow. Do not give in to this temptation for this will make you feel obligated to buy the car you paid a down payment for. Hold on to those car quotes and put them under your pillow.

We are living at the height of the Internet world. The Internet now replaces our markets where you can get anything from clothes, to food, and even to new car quotes. There have been so many advancements in Internet shopping: safer modes of payment, faster services, free deliveries or shipping. There is much to be said about the glorious advantages of this way of getting new car quotes. If you are worried about getting bad deals through online car selling companies giving you car quotes, then simply read on to find out the things that you positively, absolutely be aware of and avoid in the due course of finding the perfect car for you and for your family.

When you are getting a new car quote, never sign any down payment paper that binds you to the sale. These might be easy to miss if you are not so aware or if you are such a novice at buying cars. Your mind would be easily made up for you by the many reasonable factors that each car sales person will outline like a religious litany. Remember that buying a car should take time (unless you are filthy rich and want to spend your money the way you want to, like a rock star). Sleep on your decision.

Another thing you must avoid is going to a store and getting a new car quote unprepared. New car quotes can be very sticky because of your lack of knowledge. Think of the year, model, condition, and model of your car. Think of whether you are dealing with a direct seller or a private dealer. Why go to battle naked? If you do that, you will probably leave the store with a set of car keys in your hands a dumb blank look in your face.
