Research activities are an integral part of HUG's mission, and are carried out in close collaboration with the University of Geneva Faculty of Medicine.
The Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), a leading national and international academic institution, brings together eight public hospitals and two clinics.
For the safety of your child in the car, follow these instructions:
Your baby and the baby seat should always be strapped in, even for very short rides.
Never carry your child on your lap. When the car is moving, never take the baby in your arms for breastfeeding or to give the baby a bottle.
Ensure the car seat is adapted to the baby’s age and weight. The seat must be mounted as specified by the manufacturer and placed on a rear seat.
Check that it is secure before each use.
Be careful to secure your child: the belt must not be twisted or loosely fastened, otherwise it is ineffective. Take off the baby’s jacket so that the belt fits more snugly.
Never leave a child alone in the car.
Protect the child from the sun using a sunblind or a piece of material clamped into the door.
Clear the space behind the seats to prevent objects flying around during sudden braking or if an accident occurs.
On long journeys, have a break every two hours and use the time to take your child out of the seat for a short while.
