Clamp for a child's head in a car seat: what is it necessary for and how to make it?

When a child is in a car, the main thing is his safety. Special car seats for children, of course, provide the necessary level of protection, but are not always comfortable. In the presence of a clamp for the head, the child will be much more comfortable and safer in the car seat.

The fact that having a child seat in a car is not just an obligation, but a necessity for personal peace and security of the child, everyone has already understood for a long time. Modern manufacturers offer a variety of options that are comfortable and comfort for children. The only negative is that sometimes during long trips, kids are so tired that they are drawn to sleep. At this very moment his head leans to the side or falls forward. It is inconvenient and even dangerous to sleep in such a position, because irreversible things can happen with sudden braking.

For this reason, manufacturers began to produce special clamps for the head. Their main advantage is that they provide reliable protection for the child. To date, you can find different types and models, more about which we describe below.

The most common type of retainer is a model that looks like a bandage. This model is easily attached to the headrest of the chair itself with wide elastic bands, and a soft rag bandage holds the baby in the forehead area.

The disadvantage of such a holder is that in case of loosening of elastic bands or a belt, the bandage can easily slide on the child’s neck. In this case, with sudden braking, such a model can cause serious harm to the baby.

There are other similar models that are more secure, as they are equipped with an additional locking element. An additional belt is fastened in the middle of the pillow, not allowing the bandage to slide down. In that case, if you plan to choose the option in the form of a bandage, then be sure to check the possibility of adjusting the size.

This model is easily mounted on any chair, and its size can be adjusted.
