The situation we have been experiencing for over a year is not easy, especially for young parents. However, this time we have regained some freedom of movement.
In fact, childcare is a valid reason for traveling beyond a 10 km radius of your home, and even outside your department of residence. It is also a valid reason for traveling during curfew.
Obtain a travel exemption certificate, check box no. 3 "Urgent family reason," prepare the supporting documents, and take advantage of this opportunity to leave the little ones at their grandparents' house!
Continue reading and discover our tips for the correct use of car seats for very young children to travel safely.

Firstly, with regard to the use of car seats, specialists advise not leaving babies in their maxi-cosy for more than 2 hours and, for the rest of the time, providing them with a space that allows them freedom to move and crawl.
In fact, do not leave your baby in the car seat for more than 2 hours, as it is not a natural position and hinders their proper development and physical growth.
At Vidiamo, we have four main criteria for choosing our car seat.
First, to prevent it from becoming a daily burden, make sure it is lightweight. You will move it more often than you think, and its weight will be the most important factor in your satisfaction.
Secondly, comfort. Obviously, your baby needs to feel comfortable and secure in it, and be able to fall asleep easily. It should be sturdy, well-padded, and ideally adjustable. After all, your child grows very quickly, and it would be a shame if their seat became too small after just a few months...

Next, safety. This is a crucial criterion for us, as it is for all parents. Your car seat must be sturdy, comply with safety standards, and be equipped with strong seat belts. For more information, visit https://www.securange.fr/ and find all the details you need to choose, install, and travel safely with a car seat.
Finally, don't overlook the price. A car seat can be useful on a daily basis, depending on how you use it. Nowadays, convertible models can last for many years. Therefore, it is essential to do your research: prioritize quality over quantity, and this seat could last you for years. However, there are also affordable alternatives on the market.
If you carry your baby in a car seat, it is best to limit its use to car trips. For stroller rides, opt for a carrycot designed for this purpose or the stroller seat. Again, using a car seat could hinder their healthy development.
When visiting relatives, remember to bring a hammock or travel cot so that your baby is comfortably tucked in during the visit if you are staying for several days. For shorter stays, you can also opt for a stroller carrycot ( https://www.vidiamo.com/products/couffin-limo-by-vidiamo ), which can easily serve as a bed for your baby, at least during their first weeks of life. It is usually lightweight and portable, and will be more practical and suitable than a car seat.
If you have to make a long car trip, you will need to take frequent breaks, at least every two hours. During these breaks, take your baby out of their child seat for at least 20 to 30 minutes so they can stretch their legs before getting back in the car and sitting still in their child seat.
Thanks to Vidiamo adapters (https://www.vidiamo.com/collections/accessoires-limo/products/adaptateurs-siege-auto-limo ), you can attach your car seat to your stroller. Here is a list of car seats compatible with the Limo:
