4 Reasons to Consider Getting Winter Tires
Replacing tires can seem like a cumbersome and expensive event, costing car owners hundreds of dollars. It is even worse when it is an unexpected expense. It is never recommended to wait until the last minute to get new tires and drivers should most certainly avoid driving around with a donut for more than 70 miles.
The harsh weather of the winter increases the wear and tear on car tires, making it even more important to monitor their ability to withstand the season. Many people may put it off, but here are a few reasons why purchasing tires designed for winter weather might be advantageous.
Quick Brake
The winter terrain is not to be taken lightly. Along with winter comes the potential for more ice, and in some regions, many inches of snow. Winter tires will help drivers to navigate among rough terrain and keep them safe. The unique tread is designed to enable vehicles to stop safely while driving down slippery roads. The tires themselves may cost a little more, but it is well worth it. Read the rest of this entry »
Thanksgiving is here again! People across the country hit the road for holiday travel and safety should be a top concern for all Ardmore and Philadelphia, PA families. The fine people at Buckle Up For Life have rolled out an updated list of the Top Thanksgiving Car Seat Tips.
Pinch Test
One easy way to test out if your child’s car seat is tight enough is to use the “Inch and Pinch” test. This simple test is easy to perform; simply pinch the strap of the car seat near your child’s shoulders. Grab a pinch of fabric, then tighten the strap until you’re sure it is snug. Then, grab the car seat near the bottom and gently pull the seat to ensure it is secure. If your child’s car seat is moving more than an inch, then you should tighten it.
Secure Items
One overlooked safety tip involves securing items that you’ll be storing during travel. People often fail to secure items like luggage, gifts, turkeys, and more. In the event of an accident, many of these items could become hazardous to passengers inside the vehicle.
