Most vehicles come with a full range of standard safety features. If you are transporting young passengers, what particular components should you look for before making an auto purchase?Â
One common protection feature is the LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children). It provides reinforced fasteners that make it easy to install car seats in the rear rows without using the existing belts. This design ensures a more secure fit.Â
Childproof and speed-sensitive locks have also become standard in many autos. They either deploy when the car accelerates or prevent anyone in the interior from opening the rear doors.
The best way to protect children is to avoid incidents in the first place. Active safety systems, including blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision warning with automatic braking, can help you evade the most common accident scenarios. Such components are available on vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee.Â
