MOTHERS IN CARS: ALL ABOUT ANTI-ABANDONMENT DEVICES - LIFESTYLE

Mothers in the car: all about anti-abandonment devices

The causes

Dissociative amnesia is called due to stress, haste or fatigue and causes momentary memory lapses. It is to this pathology that most of the cases of abandonment of children in cars are attributable, a phenomenon that in the last twenty years around the world has caused the death of over 600 minors.

Legislation and sanctions

Italy is the first country in the world to make it mandatory, when transporting a child aged between 0 and 4, to install a device that detects and signals its presence in the passenger compartment. For compliance with the law, the common sense of parents should certainly be sufficient, but in any case the legislator has also introduced harsh penalties for offenders. Fines of up to 326 euros, the deduction of 5 points from the driving license and the suspension of the same for up to two months in case of recidivism within two years. The driver is responsible for the violation or, if present on the vehicle at the time of the fact, whoever is required to supervise the minor.

Integrated or independent

There are seats with an integrated alarm system or independent devices, i.e. cushions or devices to be attached to the seat belts equipped with sensors that generally send a visual or audible alarm via Bluetooth when the child is left in the car. The device must be able to activate automatically at each use and to give a confirmation signal to the driver at the moment of activation. And if powered by a battery, it must signal low charge.

Radiation?

No worries about any radiation from the equipment: it was the World Health Organization that recommended the use of Bluetooth headsets to minimize exposure of the head to cell phone radiation!
