Safety Ambassador
Not sure I’ve written about this before. I had the intention to write this many months ago, but since I couldn’t find it now I assume I hadn’t done so…
Since Ian was still an infant, I have insisted that he uses a car restraining system whenever he is inside a car. He has outgrown the rear and front facing car seats now, and is already in the booster. We have been successfully implemented this, and this is kind of like a ‘must-have’ for him already.
He is now not only having good travel/car-seat behaviour, he is also the ‘safety endorser’ in our family.
If he sees his dad not buckles the seat belt yet, he will shout: “Daddy! Seat belt please!”. He will keep doing it until the seat belt is fastened.
This saves me trouble of making sure everyone else fasten their seat belts. Well, many people have the habits of fastening seat belt only when they reach the main road, forgetting many accidents actually happen in car park or even smaller residential roads.
My little safety ambassador at home. 
Hehehe!! cute..!! and smart..!!
really no regret to put baby at car seat since young hor? hehe..Luckily I get to know this stuff early..now SQ just same like Ian, will nagging ppl to put on safety bell in car ler…I gotta follow her when sit at the back too..otherwise she will nagging non-stop wan…haha
mamabok: isn’t it nice to do that from young?
msau: hahaha! you got the same from SQ huh! Well, at least yours nag, mine actually scream if you don’t follow.
Very fierce. Hahaha!
i started Bryan on car/ infant seat when he was 1+ month old. But until now, he still protest being put into the car seat. Had a few occassions (when he was younger) that he cried till vomit
Aiyoo…how long more do i have to wait until he accepts the fate that car seat is the way to go when kai-kai with mommy & daddy.
Shooi: How oldis Bryan already? I think maybe persistence helps. Just do not break the rules everytime, no exceptional case, everytime sit in the car must sit in the car seat. That’s the way I did for Ian. Just assume you are in a country that child car seat is compulsary (e.g. UK), then it will work.
