Sunshine, road trips, and family adventures – what could be better?
But as temperatures rise, so do the challenges for families travelling with young children. Whether you're heading to the beach or visiting grandparents, summer car travel can quickly turn from exciting to exhausting – especially for little passengers. At In Car Safety Centre, we’re here to help you stay safe, cool, and comfortable with smart advice and essential products from trusted brands like BeSafe.
Did You Know? A Car Can Heat Up Fast – Even with the Windows Cracked
It only takes minutes for the inside of a car to reach dangerous temperatures – even on a mild day. According to the American Academy of Paediatrics, the internal temperature of a vehicle can increase by over 20°C in just 10 minutes. For children, who can overheat much faster than adults, this can pose a serious risk.
That’s why it’s important to prepare for summer travel – not just with snacks and games, but with cooling accessories and sun protection.
The BeSafe Summer Essentials: What You Need in Your Car This Season
BeSafe is known for innovation and comfort when it comes to child safety – and their accessories are designed with real family needs in mind. Here are our top recommendations for your next summer trip:
Summer Car Seat Cover
Made from soft, breathable bamboo-viscose, this cover keeps your child cool and dry – even on the longest drives.
It absorbs sweat and prevents overheating, making naps in the car much more comfortable.
BeSafe Baby Mirror XL2 with Light
Keep eyes on your rear-facing child without taking yours off the road. 
This mirror offers crystal-clear visibility and gives peace of mind, especially on longer journeys when kids may fall asleep quietly.
Tablet Cover and Seat Protector
Entertainment + protection = summer trip success. This combo keeps your seat clean from little feet and allows safe tablet use for older children. 
Great for keeping everyone content (and your upholstery intact!).
Going Beyond the Road – Fly with BeSafe!
Good news for travelling families: the BeSafe Go Beyond and selected other models are airplane-approved, making them ideal for summer holidays abroad. Whether you’re driving to the airport or flying overseas, BeSafe helps your journey stay secure from start to finish.
Bonus Tips for Safe Summer Travel with Kids:
-
Never leave a child unattended in a car, even for a moment.
-
Use mesh window shades to reduce direct sunlight while still allowing airflow.
-
Take frequent breaks – allow children to stretch, cool down, and hydrate.
-
Dress your child in light, breathable layers – avoid thick padding or bulky clothing.
-
Store your car seat out of direct sunlight when parked to prevent metal and plastic parts from heating up.
