"Paying extra attention is now the law"

This is the claim of the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport’s campaigns for child anti-abandonment devices. Watch the campaign commercial:

Safe use of lithium batteries

Bluetooth and radiations

Drive safe with your children on board

Dissociative amnesia

Safe use of lithium batteries

Every year many cases of batteries ingestion occur. The problem mainly involves children under 6 years. Furthermore, the misuse of batteries can cause them to explode. You should therefore pay attention to violent impacts and overheating.

Here are some guidelines to follow for the safe use of the button batteries of MyMi cushion and key-chain tracker:

In case of ingestion

In case of ingestion of the battery, be aware that the first symptoms may be similar to other child illnesses, such as cough, discomfort and salivation. If the child has ingested a button battery, you should immediately call the Poison Centre and take the child to the emergency department.

Avoid overheating

It is recommended that you do not to leave your car in the sun for many hours. Upon returning to your vehicle, before placing the child in the child’s car seat and beginning your journey, be sure to adequately ventilate your vehicle to lower the temperature and avoid overheating. If the temperature inside the car is really high, check the state of the MyMi cushion battery before placing the child on it. If you know that your car will stay in the sun during the hottest hours of the day, the best thing to do is to take the keychain tracker as well as the cushion with you, as it is small and extremely light.

Bluetooth and radiation

MyMi uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology, the same used to pair your phone with headphones, such as those made by Apple.

Here are some extracts from some articles the describe this topic in detail:

'Bluetooth headphones are not bad for you health'

Replacing traditional headphones with Bluetooth ones is not dangerous. Apple has been encouraging this in users of the new iPhone that, without a headphone jack, requires the Lightning adapter or the new AirPods. This is what John Moulder, an expert biologist of the University of Wisconsin states on the Livescience website. ‘Bluetooth power is simply not strong enough to damage any biological tissue through the mechanisms we are currently aware of’, he explains.

Bluetooth is neither dangerous nor bad for your health

the intensity of its signal is much lower than that of a simple household Wi-Fi network […] it is also much lower than the international limits and no precautionary measures are indicated for the use of Bluetooth earbuds or headphones. All the experiments and measurements carried out for the certification and sale of Bluetooth devices showed that they posed no risk to health, as the signal is not powerful enough to be absorbed by the human body.

Drive with complete confidence with your children on board

When driving, the first thought of parents is ensuring the safety of their children on board. Child’s safety seats (or infant’s car seat for babies) must always be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Parents or friends driving with children on board must be informed of the safety guidelines, also for short or occasional trips. The law requires that child’s car seats must be used until children are 150 cm tall.

Use certified child's car seats that are in good condition.

Choose the child’s car seat based on the age of the child and make sure that it has a certification label. The presence of this label is the best guarantee of the quality of the product. Do not use secondhand or used child’s car seats. They could have internal mechanical damage that is not visible meaning that the complete safety of the product cannot be guaranteed.

For babies, rear-facing infant's car seats are recommended

Until the baby is 15 months of age, it is important to install the infant’s car seat in the opposite direction of travel. This position helps support the baby in a more effective way, reducing the risk of head and neck injuries. The forces generated in case of impact are in fact distributed over a wider surface area.

Italy is the number one country in the world

Italy is the first country in the world to adopt a law aimed at preventing the abandonment of children in infant’s and child’s car seats due to dissociative amnesia.

The choice to make anti-abandonment devices compulsory comes after several cases that hit the headlines, where mothers or fathers forgot their children on board for many hours, often with tragic consequences.

Such forgetfulness, also known as ‘dissociative amnesia’, is mainly due to parents suffering from a significant amount of stress, which causes them to act in an automatic way. An anti-abandonment device is therefore a tech ally for parents that helps them live their lives with fewer worries.

MyMi anti-abandonment device is certified and complies with the law. It is compatible with any child’s car seat and does not affect certification characteristics in any way.
