Just because winter weather is here, doesn’t mean you can’t still get out and unleash your adventurous side, right? In fact, there is a lot you can get out and do, and even if you don’t love to travel in the snow, sometimes it’s the only way to get to your destination. When you live on the east coast you have to become accustomed to winter weather, even enjoy it at times. Plus there is no better time than now to get out and enjoy winter activities like skiing, snowing, snowshoeing, and so much more! So instead of fearing the snowy weather, learning to drive in winter will allow you to take on more adventures and have more confidence behind the wheel.

Of course, we don’t recommend taking a road trip during a winter storm, but traveling long-distance in light snow doesn’t have to be as scary as it made out to be. SO this week we want to give you some pointers to help you get up and get out to your next adventure! Check out our tips below!

Tips:

Don’t count on technology to keep your car under control:

• Don’t count on technology to keep your car under control, if you’re traveling in any snow we suggest slowing down! It might take a little longer to get to your destination, but there is a better chance of you making it there safe!
• Your anti-lock braking system is great for bringing your car to a smooth stop but there still needs to be enough road between you and the next vehicle to stop you in time. We suggest you leave extra space between you and other vehicles!

Prep your vehicle for a winter road trip:

• Bring your vehicle in for a tune-up and let the mechanic know you’re planning on traveling long distance. Don’t be afraid to ask them to pay a little more attention to be sure everything is in tip-top shape
• Be sure to check the heater, defroster, brakes, lights, oil levels, and exhaust system.
• Make sure the condition of your tires is prestige
• Make sure the quality of your windshield wipers is good enough to see without a problem. This means no streaks, smears, skipping, etc.
• A car traveling in winter can’t survive without antifreeze in the radiator; make sure all of your vehicles fluid levels are properly filled

Planning before you hit the road:

• Keep an eye on the forecast for several days, if it is predicted there will be a storm we suggest rescheduling
• If you’re Planning on taking a trip that will take several days, plan to drive for a shorter amount of time. During the winter there are fewer hours of sunlight and winter driving can be more tiring. It would be smart to plan out stops, breaks, and sleeping ahead of time.

If you need any service done to your vehicle before you hit the road, stop by our website and schedule an appointment for whenever is most convenient for you or stop into King Volkswagen!

Becoming a new parent is a very exciting time, it is also stressful. Let’s face it you’re learning as you go and it’s okay to make a mistake here and there, totally understandable. One place you don’t want to make a mistake is in the car. Too many parents aren’t properly strapping in their children and their child’s seats. New mommies and daddies, it’s not just you! Actually, moms that have been doing this for a while are also doing it wrong so don’t get upset! Instead, check out our hacks for the biggest car seat mistakes and never second guess if you are properly strapping your child in for a ride again!

1. The child is turned face-forward too early:
   1. Babies must ride facing the rear until they are at least 1 year old and weigh 20 pounds, preferably longer! Keeping your baby rear-facing for as long as possible is the safest way for them to sit
2. The seat isn’t installed tightly enough:
   1. Lot’s of parents stress about making the seat belt too tight and hurting their baby
   2. An easy way to know if the beat is tight enough is to jiggle it in the area where the safety belt is pulled through, the chair should not move more than 1 inch in any direction.
3. Harness straps are too loose.
   1. Again, parents stress about the tightness of the straps, but leaving them too loose is extremely dangerous, as the child could slip out or tip over during an abrupt stop
   2. The straps should be tightened so that slack can’t be pinched between an adult’s thumb and forefinger.
   3. Regardless if the child says it’s too tight, this is the correct way to strap them in
4. Infant seat angled incorrectly
   1. It must be reclined just enough so the child doesn’t flop forward, but no more than 45 degrees from vertical.
   2. If the child is positioned at more than that, they could be thrown out between the straps headfirst.
5. Harness straps are in wrong slots:
   1. In the rear-facing position, straps should be in slots at or just below the shoulder.
   2. In forward-facing position, straps should come through the uppermost slots (unless a particular car seat instructions specify otherwise).
   3. It is always important to READ the car seat direction because every seat is different!
6. Harness retainer clip is out of place:

         1. The clip should ALWAYS be at the child’s armpit level!

7. The locking clip is out of place:
   1. If needed, it should be positioned no more than an inch from the safety-belt latch.
8. The safety belt isn’t in locked mode:
   1. Check vehicle’s owner manual to determine what type of belts you have.
   2. Follow directions regarding how they must be used with a child-safety restraint.
