Expiration of Car Seats

Posted by Jo in tips ( at 10:17 pm)

Expiry dates seems to be more appropriate with foods other than accessories especially with children’s car seats. Children’s car seats place an important role in the safety of children in the case of car accident. Car seats can actually save lives, if not lessen the impact of the accident to the children. Many countries seen this importance; that is why though it may seem inappropriate, they implemented that manufacturers place expiry dates of car seats in the product.

Car seats overtime do not work well; people who have car seats that are expired are putting their children’s life at risk. Over time, car seats’ plastic can be damage due to frequent use and exposure to sunlight; labels are difficult to read because it faded along with the safety instructions getting lost. Often times, children’s car seats regulation changes, thus it is important to know whether the car seat you have is under that regulation. If it is about children’s safety in car, parents should just not get any car seats that “seem” to be good.

When Car Alarms Emit False Alarms

Posted by Jo in tips ( at 5:55 am)

 Car alarms are installed in cars for the main reason to keep away intruders; they are anti-theft device. The problem with car alarms is that they are easily triggered by almost anything; vibrations, touching the car, movements done even by car owner which actually were never successful in fighting intruders. Car alarm sensors cannot distinguish intruders from not, as long as they are triggered by anything they will emit sound.

 Due to that most of the alarms of car alarms were false alarms, which never help fighting theft and more to it, they became noisemakers rather than anti-theft device. Car alarms can sound up to 125 decibels which does not only disturb others but destroyed their hearing as well. Some states have actually discouraged car owners to use car alarms by actually fining them if there car alarms don’t turn off immediately.

 There are other ways car owners can fight intruders effectively without making loud noises or disturbing others. There is the vehicle tracking system, which enables the police to trace the location of a stolen car.  There is also the two –way pager, which informs the car owner when there is car intruder. There is also the manufacturer – installed immobilizers which shut –off the car’s ignition system when someone tries to break through the car. Keeping our car safe is important but it does not need to disturb others.

Car Alarms, Keeping Away Intruders

Posted by Jo in Uncategorized ( at 5:11 am)

Car alarms are placed in the car as a theft fighting device. It is an electronic device composed of sensors connected to some siren that emits high- volume sound when someone opened the door or when some circuit was breached. The usual car alarms use sirens, klaxon or pre – recorded voice that discourage theft to open the car.

Car alarms have computer control unit which controls the alarm system, it makes the siren sounds when the sensors sees or fell something or is triggered by outside elements that can trigger it. Sensors are connected to the computer control unit and are placed almost all over the car which can be easily triggered. Things that can trigger cal alarms to produce sound are vibrations, touching the car or even movements in the car created by the car owner. There is a battery, other than the car’s battery, where the computer control unit and siren is connected so that even if the car is off the car alarm will still work.

Despite its basic function, car alarms were really not appreciated because of the time, it always sends false alarms because it can easily be triggered by just any outside elements.
