Some child seats are fitted with the car's three-point seat belt; Isofix car seats, on the other hand, can only be used in homologated cars equipped with Isofix hooks.

Even on short journeys, it is important that the child is fastened using the safety harness of the car seat. Some models are also equipped with an abdominal pillow.
IN HOME
Home can be a very dangerous place, especially when the child is not yet old enough to recognize the risks. There are many protective measures to be taken when there is a small creature in the house. Two are absolutely essential when the child begins to take his first steps:
<br>•Security gate. It is recommended to use it close to flights of stairs. For the child, in fact, every area of the house can be transformed into a fantastic play area. The stairs are, however, very dangerous, as the little one could accidentally trip and hurt himself. A safety gate prevents accidents by redefining the child's play area. Another place in the house where its use is recommended is the kitchen. Stoves and furniture corners are very dangerous. Again, a security gate will come in handy. The ideal is to use it while you are preparing dinner and you need to take your eyes off your baby for at least a few minutes, while you are busy with food and setting the table.
<br>•Playpen for children. In addition to being very useful and having numerous uses, the playpen is a lifesaver when you are alone in the house, busy with housework, and you need to leave your baby in a safe space for a few minutes. On the market, there are several models, which vary according to shape and size. Children love them as they associate them with play time. A useful tip is to fill it with pillows and teddy bears to make your little one feel comfortable with him. Inside the playpen, the little one can also learn to take his first steps and become familiar with motor activities. When your baby is old enough to no longer need a playpen, you can use it as a toy basket.
