What safety precautions should be taken when taking children on the bus

The bus is a common means of transportation for people to travel. Parents must ensure the safety of their children when they go out on the bus. So what safety issues should be paid attention to when taking children on the bus? What should mothers do when their children take the bus? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction.

Things to note when children take the bus

Don't carry your child in the car

Carrying a child on the back can often lead to injury, because when parents carry their child on the back, the height of the car increases, and some babies are active, so if they are not carried firmly, they may slide off, increasing the risk of injury. Therefore, if the child can walk independently, let him walk in front, and if the child cannot walk yet, he should be carried on the back when he gets on the car.

Try not to be in the front row

There is no obstruction in the front row. When the driver brakes suddenly, the passengers' bodies will lean forward due to inertia. At this time, there is a high possibility that they will be thrown out and cause physical injury because they are not sitting firmly.

Let the child sit inside

If the car is sitting on a two-person seat, let the child sit in the inner seat. According to investigations, the accident rate in the "outer gear" of the car is higher, while that in the "inner gear" is lower.

Do not stick your head or hands out of the car

When riding on a bus, parents must keep an eye on their children and not let them stick their hands or heads out of the window for fun. This is very dangerous. If they are hit by a speeding car or a speeding car from behind, it can cause serious injuries.

Don't hold the railing

If the bus is crowded and there is no seat, children must be kept under close supervision. Let the children hold the parents' hand with one hand and the railing above the seat with the other hand to prevent them from falling in case of an emergency brake.

Don't let your baby get out of the car first

Children should follow their parents when getting off the bus to avoid being hit by oncoming vehicles because the child is not paying attention to safety after getting off the bus first.

What should mothers do when their children take the bus?

When taking the bus, if you have the choice, you can choose a seat in the middle or near the exit door. It is best not to carry too many things with you, as this will make it inconvenient to take care of your baby.

Put the things you carry with you in a backpack and put them on your back before getting on or off the bus. This way you can free your hands to take care of your baby and hold onto the handrails to prevent you from falling.

There are no seat belts on buses, so you must protect your baby. The mother should let the baby sit on the inner seat next to the window, wrap her arms around the baby, and ask the baby to hold the mother's arms or clothes. Please note that you should not let the baby sit on the mother's lap to avoid the baby hitting the seat in front of you and getting injured due to sudden braking.

When getting on or off a bus, because the baby is small, the conductor may not be able to see him/her and he/she may be easily pinched. Therefore, it is best to let the conductor notice you when getting on or off the bus. You can greet the conductor and tell him/her that there is a child and he/she should go slower.

When waiting for the subway or bus, be sure to hold your baby's hand to prevent him from running away.
