Loading kids into the car....?

Question

I have this magnet on my car (bought it from a childcare store) that has a big hand with letters and numbers around the outside. I get the 2 kids that don't need a carseat to hop in and put there seatbelt on. Then I have everyone put there hand on the big hand. I take the baby first and put her in the carseat. Then I take the next and the next until we finished.

Today I saw a women with 4 children almost have 1 hit by a car because she was loading a child in. I have 2 magnets, (one per side) so I gave her one for the future.

So I'm just wondering, what do you do to put everyone in the car safely?

Answer 1

I get everyone in with their butts in a seat then we do the buckle up thing.. :)

Answer 2

I say "Okay kids, get in and buckle up."  I hold open doors and make sure the kids are in safely.  I get in my seat and buckle myself.  Then I ask, "Is everyone buckled?"  I taught my kids really early how to buckle themselves.  At first, I would double check everyone myself.  As my older kids became more capable, I had them check.  Now, my older kids are 15, 13 and 8, and they check the 4 and 5 year olds for me.

Hang in there, it gets easier!  Good for you for making sure your kids are safe!

Answer 3

I only have one baby. But if I had a mini van & multiple kids I would put them all in & than buckle them up.

Answer 4

I stand on the passenger side while 2 get in when there in I go around to the driver side the other one gets in then I put in the baby. I then make sure all have there seat belts on.

Answer 6

I only have 2 children. One is 4 and one is 6. I have a 4 door car. I have both kids climb in on the same side and then buckle them (although the 6 yr old can now buckle self).

Answer 7

I only have two children.  My daughter (3 1/2 years old) waits on the grass for me to put her in after I put her baby brother in.  So far, so good.  In a parking lot, she knows to stay close to my side.  She's very good.

Answer 8

Let them all get in on one side.  Have them all sit down then do the seat belts.
