Abanok · Head support strap

Due to the head strap, the movement of the child's head during car rides is restricted. In the event of a car accident, a child may be exposed to severe stress in the neck area, which may lead to possible neck breaks. Furthermore, the strap can slip down and cover the nose and mouth of the child causing suffocation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive.
