Mothers and children in the car: just a little music and fun is guaranteed!
In collaboration with Chicco
It seems that traveling by car is a "great opportunity to share the passion for music with your little ones. To find out more, we asked Sara from Gingiorgina 24 hours a day mom, Alessandra from thewomoms.com and Olga from mammaholic.com to tell us what their children are up to in the car!

So let's leave the word to mothers and their adventures in the car with the little ones! Let's start with Sara's amused confession ...
Children choose music in Sara's car!
I was hoping Olivia loved how much I love the songs of my childhood… but nothing! My children in the car prefer Rovazzi! Ouch! But I satisfy them, because car journeys can be a bit stressful, but with a little music, everything really goes away! Olivia sitting on her Chicco seat in complete safety, reads her little book while I sing out loud (which is the best way to sing in company

On the other hand, how do little Francesco and his mother Alessandra entertain themselves while waiting to arrive at their grandparents' house?
Grandma, here we come !!! With a little music the journey goes faster!
When we get into the car, little Francesco looks around curiously, plays with his little elephant, looks at me with his lively eyes. He is always delighted when we visit his grandparents. I put him in his comfortable Chicco seat and sing him a song to make the trip more fun with me and his dad.
And he laughs happily: his favorite song is that of the watermelon !!! Who knows when he will start singing too ... I bet I will drop a tear of emotion!

Think, dear mothers and fathers, that during some comfortable car trip you could discover some real budding talents! As in the case of the lively Bianca Zoe, Olga's baby ...
What a talent little Bianca Zoe! How much do you like to sing with mom and dad?
A few days ago, in the nursery school, the teacher told me: "We have the impression that Bianca Zoe sings the Italian anthem, is it possible?" “Yes absolutely yes!”.
Bianca Zoe, a patriotic little girl, sings the hymn all day, focusing with particular emphasis on the words Italy, Scipio and he woke up. How he learned it I don't know exactly, I guess from his brothers.
The scene is naturally hilarious, at home, at the supermarket, at the park, at school, if the sacred fire of singing calls Bianca Zoe responds by intoning ITALIAAAAAAAAAAA.
The truth is that, in general, she loves to sing and is also very in tune for being only 18 months old, no doubt more than Niccolò and Edoardo. The songs have always calmed and reassured her, from the most classic lullaby to the tunes I invented on the spot, passing through the songs sung and played by the family musician - our dad - who plays the electric guitar in a group.
Music calms and relaxes children and has surprising effects on their cognitive development because it is an alternative tool to discover the world and also to know a little about themselves (think of the amazement of children when they hear their voice and understand have one musical instrument always at their disposal, go with the screams !!!). Music, in our experience, is distracting, especially in the car when Bianca Zoe and Edoardo don't want to sit in their car seat. I remember a drive home-pediatrician-home with very young Bianca Zoe - she must have had 6 months - in which her desperate crying stopped only in front of the notes of the famous hit "Papa Simone" invented by me. Very deep text ("Papa Simone we are coming") and single note for a good half hour.
In short: we sing outside and inside the house and especially in the car where we are protected from prying ears and where we travel safely thanks to our Chicco YOUniverse Fix car seats, the Chicco car seat that follows the entire growth of our children from 12 months to 12 months. about years (it is a Group 1/2/3 approved car seat from 9 kg up to 36 kg).
The installation is simple and resistant to mothers with little manual skills like me thanks to the Isofix system. YOUniverse offers maximum versatility as it can be installed with Isofix and Top Tedher connectors, for cars equipped with Isofix fasteners, or traditionally with the car's three-point seat belts for cars without Isofix connectors.
YOUniverse Fix is reclining to ensure that the little ones sleep and has a height-adjustable headrest to prevent the head of the older ones from “collapsing”. Chicco naturally guarantees maximum safety when traveling thanks to the Side Safety System which offers the child more complete protection in the event of a side impact.
And so, after having secured our car seats, we are ready to sing… ummmh to leave, in all joy and tranquility!
