Families are growing faster than ever these days. Some people are enjoying the experience of being a new parent, while others are thrilled to be expecting. Whatever the case may be, adding a child into your life changes everything. Driving is stressful enough, and adding a child into the mix can only amplify those stress levels. It’s important to follow certain precautions to keep your precious cargo safe every time you travel. Here’s how to have a smooth ride with your child…

Don’t give your baby toys or food in the car – As you know, driving requires your full attention. A child with food or a toy needs monitoring…

Always put your child in the backseat – Placing your child in the front seat of the car is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury…

Drive slowly and defensively – It’s been proven that new parents average less sleep than truck drivers, and their accident rates are on par with teen drivers…

Stay off of your phone – Being a new parent means more responsibilities and there’s a good chance you’ll be scattered and will start multitasking to try and balance everything…

Don’t ever leave your child in the car unattended – When running a quick errand, it’s tempting to hop out and leave your child, thinking you will only be gone a minute…
