Moms in the car for Toy Assist Hyundai
Talking about this fundamental issue having at our side a company like the Korean Hyundai, with its attention to safety and communication and persuasion skills, pushes us to raise our voices even more. And together with the car manufacturer at Hyundai we want to review together what are the golden rules to follow to transport children by car.
RULE N. 1
We always use the child seat
The first rule for transporting a child in a car is to always use a child seat. The seat must be approved and must be of the group suitable for the weight and height of the child.
We remind you that the seat must be used up to the age of 12 or to the height of one and a half meters. The seat must be secured to the vehicle in the correct way, the anti-abandonment device must be added if the child is under the age of 4 and the child's seat belt or seat belts must be fastened. We never give in to the whims of children who don't want to feel constrained and above all we never think that a short stretch is risk-free: on the contrary, it is precisely in inhabited centers that the greatest number of accidents occur.

RULE N. 2
We fight motion sickness
Children must experience the car journey with serenity, and therefore it is necessary to intervene correctly to counteract motion sickness. What are the triggers of car sickness? The stale air inside the passenger compartment first of all and then the smell of food and the psychological state of the child.
Often the little one enters the car with the idea that he will not feel well and therefore it is important to create a pleasant situation so as not to make him feel too pressured. The remedies are there. First of all, don't start with an empty tummy, but don't even fill it with meals that are too fat. Better to stay light: some dry biscuits or some crackers will do for you. The pediatrician also recommends the shock of a sip of very cold sparkling water when nausea is taking over and above all keep your head straight and still.
RULE N. 3
Down with boredom
Although some experts believe that children can be given the opportunity to learn how to manage boredom in the car, we would like to advise you to always try to make them happy with the right entertainment. In fact, pediatricians recommend dedicating a game to the car, because finding a special friend in the passenger compartment can make the journey very pleasant for the little ones.
And precisely on the third rule, but also a little on the second one because children properly entertained suffer less from car sickness, Hyundai intervened and decided to give a toy assist to all those who book a test drive of the SUV range, and then Kona, Tucson and Santa Fe. Whether they are parents, grandparents, uncles, babysitters…. in short, all those who request it to give it to a child. This is the plush version of Babyshark, the internet star: a soft friend to be attached to and to take care of.
It certainly serves as a game for children but it is also a way for the brand to take a clear position, and to give a clear message to all those who are interested in its cars: Hey, when you transport the children on our cars, remember to do so. correctly: fastening the seat belt is child's play!
The Toy Assist can be positioned thanks to the velcro on the belt when the car is stationary. In this way, when you get on board, it facilitates the safety of children and acts as a reminder. Once the belt is fastened, the Toy Assist is removed and can be used for play or as a headrest for moments of rest.
RULE N. 5
Let's choose a car that is really safe
The last rule to properly transport children on board is to choose a safe car. How do we check? First we check the EuroNCAP scores, there are specific ratings for the protection of children. And then we check for the presence of the most important active safety and assisted driving systems, such as lane keeping, emergency braking, or the blind spot detector, all of which are present on the cars in the Hyundai range.
Still too often we see children traveling by car on their parents' lap, perhaps even in the front seat. Did you know that at 50 km per hour a 20 kg child weighs about 20 times as much due to kinetic energy? And does anyone think they can hold back half a ton with the strength of their love or their muscles?
Ultimately: make our message your own and help Mothers in Cars, Alfeminile and Hyundai to defend the safety of our children. And if you liked the Toy Assist, you should know that by registering on toyassist.hyundai.it and booking a test drive, you will receive the soft toy at home!
