Carkoon Safety Car Seat for extra protection to your baby in a car crash

Carkoon Safety Car Seat for baby

Does driving a car always drive you nuts especially when you have a baby sitting in the car? Are you too nervous when you have your toddler sipping on its milk on the front seat of your car? Do you always worry about taking out your car even till the nearest doorstep if it’s for an emergency? Well, you better stop worrying now as your kid is extra protected inside the Carkoon Safety Car Seat. It is much more than a car seat and more so like a cocoon which can wrap around your little one and protect it under its shell.

We all know what a car accident can do. It can lead to fire which traps people inside the car and stop them from getting out. During such an event, this Carkoon has devised a way to protect the baby. It is the world’s first child car seat that has employed in itself active AirShield technology. This is what protects the baby inside the shell while the fire fighters fight a way out to rescue him or her out of the car.

It has been designed in such a way that the car seat faces the rear of the vehicle but what does it mean to imply? Well, this simply means that any unwanted force which is due to an accident put on a baby will get spread out on a much greater surface area, that is, the back of the car seat. Just in case if the baby uses forward facing car-seat during a collision, it would automatically lead to great amounts of pressure on the head, back and the neck areas. To avoid this, the car seat is kept facing the rear of the car seat. So, as a parent all you have to do is get a good quality child car seat and install it properly onto your seat.

Driving A Manual Car For Learners

Driving A Manual Car For Learners

After adjusting the seating position and making certain the “reclining” position is correctly adjusted, the driver is advised to adjust the rear mirror and the right hand “side” mirror. Ensure that the back position of the car can be seen clearly.

Secondly, make sure the car is in “neutral gear” or “free”.

Turning the ignition key, three times to the right, will start the car. If this is your first time doing so, turn off the ignition and start the car again. This is to give you some practical practice on “how to turn the ignition key” correctly.

Next, accelerate slightly by stepping on the accelerator pedal. You can now hear the engine buzz rather clearly. Keep your right foot on the accelerator. If the accelerator is being stepped on too heavily or otherwise, either step or release the accelerator accordingly. The constant pressure on the accelerator pedal indicates that the car is now ready to “move off”.

The next step is to leave or take off your left foot slowly. In doing so, do make sure that the “heel” is firmly on the ground. Leave the clutch foot slowly to a point of 50%. At 50%, the car will move forward gently. As the car moves forward slowly, control the clutch and the car should be moving ahead gently and smoothly.

When the car has gained momentum (having gone 10 – 20 meters), it is now time to execute the 2nd gear. Repeating the familiar phrase, “Left foot down, right foot up (accelerator up)”, you will have to follow your instructor’s instruction until you can coordinate in engaging the gears.

Initially, you have to engage up to 2nd gear only. When you are at the early stage of learning how to drive a manual car, move the car 10 – 20 meter, you should stop, free gear and pull up the handbrake. This is followed by closing off the engine. This will be your practice.
The whole procedure is repeated all over. When you have mastered the technique of changing gears 1 and 2 well, you can now proceed to changing into gear 3. In the first few driving lessons, you will be taught up to 3rd gear only by your instructor. Leave gear 4 until a later date when you are better in driving.

The above suggestion is mine and mine alone. Other instructor may have their own ideas. They are free to decide otherwise.

 What is Driving Fear?

A “specific phobia of driving” requires that you either avoid driving or riding as a passenger because of fear, or that you tolerate driving or riding with high levels of anxiety and fear. Driving fear is not just fear of getting behind the wheel and operating a car. It can also involve fear while riding as a passenger. 
In fact, some driving fearful people are more afraid of riding as a passenger than they are of driving, per se. Not all people with driving fear have much in the way of observable avoidance of driving, although many patients gradually become aware of subtle avoidance habits they have developed. Many people with driving fears get where they “have to” go, but suffer a great deal of distress while in a car. 
They arrive at work in a bad mood or with a tension headache because of excessive tension while driving, or they have multiple “scares” whenever in a car so that their driving experience is quite upsetting. They may also restrict their actual driving or riding to only those “necessary” trips, which results in reduced social and recreational activities. Alternatively, they may alter their commuting routes in a manner that restricts their freedom of movement.

Why is Driving Fear a Problem?

Some people may think that driving fears are pretty trivial or that they are so common that they don’t merit treatment. It is true that some people may be able to lead a life with even a severe driving fear and not suffer many losses because of this fear. However, this depends on the individual’s lifestyle, work and family life, and personal goals. 
For example, the writer (Bill) has a mild fear of heights. This has never been a big problem to him because he has never been a downhill skier, the fear is mild enough that he doesn’t mind looking out of high rise windows, and he has no other recreations that require him to stare down from high places. What would happen, however, if Bill had to ski to work every day, or if Bill had fallen in love with a partner whose main recreational interests were downhill skiing and climbing mountains? Luckily for Bill, there are no mountains between his home and his office. Unluckily for driving fearful people, most of us live in society where transportation in automobiles is increasingly necessary and our roads in urban centers are becoming even more crowded.

Necessary Treatment Activities to OvercomeDriving Fear

Your therapist will help you with the activities described below, but you need to understand that success in overcoming driving fear will depend on you practicing new (or forgotten) skills. To get better, you will need to

a. drive and ride as a passenger much more frequently and for prolonged periods of time

b. focus more on other drivers’ good driving behaviour and courtesy and less on “close calls” or other drivers’ mistakes

c. learn about, and subsequently, suppress your own “safety compulsions”, those habits you have developed to make yourself “feel” safer in a car, but which likely maintain your fear in the long run

d. identify and alter beliefs and automatic thoughts that make you feel more at risk in a car
