Admin’s Note

Information on the proper use of child seats is especially important during holiday driving seasons. As parents, it is essential to have the right knowledge and awareness to reduce the risk of accidents. During a conversation between Chako and Log, the importance of proper usage was emphasized, but I feel that more reminders are needed for real-life situations. It’s also crucial to ensure the safety of those around us, so we should strive to maintain good driving etiquette.
