Advice On Childrens Car Seats

By Amanda Gamdana

A properly purchased and applied car seat is a product that parents consistently spend vast amounts of money on. Yet, in 2005, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that, according to a multi-year study, misuse occurred in 79. Misusing the safety restraints was the big area where people messed up, according to the study. The most common mistakes found were loose harness straps and safety belt attachments. 'Because they can cause so much harm to the child, it is those types of misuses that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration classifies as 'critical'.

How to make sure your newborn safe?

Always use the correct seat for your baby's age and weight and in the correct position. For children who are a year old and not yet 20 pounds, they can usually be placed in a rear-facing position in their car seats. For both their size and their design, infant-only seats are carefully crafted especially for the smaller children. Make sure your infant car seat is placed in the back seat of your car, and only in the rear-facing position.

Convertible seats allow the safety seat to grow with the child. Unlike infant-only car seats, these types of seats are typically difficult to navigate because they need to be heavier so that the baby can grow into them. Convertibles should also be placed in the rear-facing position for infants under 20 pounds and younger than a year. Eventually, the infant will pass the height and weight requirement for infants; they should be placed facing the front of the car at the point and remain in their convertible seat until they reach 40 pounds.

The car seat should buckle into the car, and the baby should buckle into the seat. Of the critical components that the study by the NHTSA found, the biggest majority dealt with parents who did not have the harness strap in the right slot or fitting snuggly enough. If strapping the harness into a slot position in a convertible, the appropriate slots are above or at the shoulder; if using an infant car seat, the appropriate place is below. Harness clips should hold the untwisted straps around armpit level - for exact placement double check the guide that came with the seat.

It helps seat belt placement to recline the seat 45 degrees; always double check that your seat belt is in the right path for the position of the seat. Another tip is to include a rolled up towel that you can place under the seat. Tighten the seat belt, as needed, to ensure the restraint is secured to your vehicle. Every car that has a LATCH system has special requirements, and those mean that the parent should read their owner guides, to both their car and their car seat, to make sure their seat is installed correctly. If you purchase a seat that is not new, make sure you check it's age and condition.

You should feel free to buy a used seat, but you should pay attention to the age and condition of it. Do not purchase a seat older than five years, and do not purchase one that does not include instructions. Inquire from the previous owner if the seat has ever been in an accident, and if it has, do not buy it; also make sure you are only purchasing a seat that has all its parts. - 21392

The Car Recovery Business

By Mike Arthurs

If you have ever had your car breakdown, chances are you have had to deal with a car recovery service. Most services are professional and can attend to all your recovery or automotive necessities. Most car recovery businesses operate on a twenty four hour basis, so it is not hard to find a car recovery service should you need one.

To begin with, take the time to check into the different companies, specifically looking for things like the number of years they've been in business. This will help to ease the negative concerns that may come to mind as the company is in the process of recovering your car. One of the many concerns for a car owner is the possibility that the company could damage their vehicle. And while this kind of thing has happened in the past, if you have chosen a company that has been around for a while, and has a good responsible, business reputation, then more than likely there is very little to worry about.

A car recovery service that operates on a local or long distance basis or one that is nationwide operable is always a great choice for any automotive needs you may have when in or out of a well known location. Being far away from home and having your car break down can be annoying as well as a scary. So picking a dependable service is of utmost importance.

If you have confirmed a service is on their way to come to your aid and help recover your car and bring it to a secure location, then if you are worried about if someone may try and pose as an impostor and scam you or do harm to you or your car or both, then know that most well known car recovery services send their employees out with identification they must present if asked for.This can alleviate any cause for worry or concern on your end.

This is why it is very important in making the decision who you will call in just such a case. You may end up one day having to use the service or if your lucky you may not but, it will be peace of mind knowing that you have a plan and a car recovery service implemented should you need it.

You will find that the many car recovery services that are found to be out there, offer really affordable services and rates and comparing companies can be of great value when and if you should ever need their services.

Take your time in making a decision as to who you will call if you need these type of services. A good service will cater to most of your car recovery needs and some even offer other car related services in conjunction with what they mainly offer. And don't forget to always carry a business card with you at all times, to make sure you are armed just in case. - 21392

My Metal Building Plans

By Adam Pink

After a few years of talking about it, it's finally time for my wife and I to make some final decisions about getting a storage building for our backyard. We both have different ideas about what we will use it for, and even though the metal building will be doing double duty, both ideas will work together.

This will be a building that we both share. For my purposes, I need a winter storage space for my atv and seadoo. After spending a few winters now outside with just a tarp for protection, I decided it was time to get some proper storage. My wife would like a large summer workshop of sorts - she would like to be able to set up her quilting frames without having to roll them in or move them out of the way all the time.

Deciding that we wanted a building was easy, the next step was to agree on a few important aspects before deciding on the particular metal building that we would have installed. Size is the biggest concern - we don't want it to be too big ( for space and cost reasons), but it makes sense not to skimp and then run out of room 2 years down the road. Based on how big the quilting frames will be when they are set up, and allowing a good amount of space to move around, I think we've decided on a wide one car garage size - 16' x 20'. That should be big enough for my toys, including another seadoo if I decide to get another one.

Where the storage building will go was the next big decision we needed to make. This is important for a number of reasons. One is obviously location - my wife would like it close because she'll be going out there a lot. I want it a little further away to leave more space around the house. Another reason is the cost to run electrical, and possibly water. And lastly, I don't really want the building in a low spot where water would cause problems. We haven't really made the final decision on this yet.

We also have talked about whether or not we should wire the building or not. I didn't think it was required, but it only took a few minutes to decide that regardless of how close it was to the house, lighting and outlets are pretty much a necessity. It also gives us the option to add a space heater if it gets cold in the late summer evenings.

Now that we've gone through the planning process of what we both want to use the metal building for, where it will go, and the features we need, we both are pretty confident about narrowing down the particular model that will suit us both. Once the site is chosen and prepared, it won't be long before we get our new metal building delivered and installed, and we can both start using it! - 21392

Instrument Panel Designs Can Make A Difference In Safety And Repairs

By Zach Jacobs

There are a lot of people using cars in traveling around the city and the concept of an instrument cluster and the instrument panel are becoming more familiar to them. At the back of the dashboard of the car is where you can find the entire control system called the instrument cluster.

The utmost purpose of this entire control system is to make all the output devices perform well. Most of the instrument clusters nowadays are digital, including the speedometer. These are found in classic cars such as the Lincoln and the Cadillac. However, some vehicles still have the traditional mechanical gauges.

In the past, car dashboards were much simpler. They contained just a speedometer. As time passed, more and more parts were added and its entire collection was called the instrument cluster. These additional features were the vents, heating and lighting controls and other audio accessories.

Some modern cars even have GPS built in the dashboard. This feature may cost some amount for a few people but for other car enthusiasts, it can still be considered cost efficient in the long run. The designs of the instrument cluster also matters a lot since it should be easy to read even at a glance, considering the need to do this while driving.

The current condition of a car can also be easily taught to new drivers because of the warning indicators. The indicators help any driver, but especially a new driver; know if the car has been having some intermittent problems. Manufacturers discovered that it was easier to educate a driver about the condition of the car via light indicators rather than gauges.

The warning lights started becoming a part of the instrument panel to help the driver be more aware of the car?s condition sooner. These are very applicable when the car is overheating or the car is low on gas.

This way, the driver would just be able to read the gauges even just at a glance. Just through the lights blinking, you can tell what the car is actually going through. Hence, a lot of people should be made more knowledgeable about the concept of the instrument panel.

The uses of the instrument cluster and the instrument panel should be given more attention by any car enthusiasts and driver. Paying attention to the instrument cluster can make a big difference in repair cost if you heed the warnings. - 21392
