Have you considered whether your child may be at risk in the car if they are holding a computer tablet? In the event of a crash, what happens to the device in their hands? Is your child safe watching movies in the car?<\/h2>\r\nWe\u2019ve all been there \u2013 the long car journey; the kids moaning, complaining, crying and maybe even screaming; the snacks have run out or they just don\u2019t want to eat the ones you brought for the journey\u2026so you resort to the audio visual nanny (computer tablet playing a movie) that is guaranteed to buy a bit of peace and quiet…But how can you ensure your child is safe watching movies in the car?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLuckily, Nextbase (the UK\u2019s leading manufacturer of dashboard cameras), have just launched the UniMount – the world\u2019s safest in-car mounting system for tablets, designed to the strict European ECE R17 safety standards.\r\n

Keep your child safe watching movies in the car<\/h3>\r\nRichard Browning, director at Nextbase, commented: \u201cAs a parent myself, it made no sense that you could spend hundreds of pounds ensuring your car is a safe environment for your children, only to go and hand them a tablet made of glass and metal to hold in front of their face. It may seem obvious, but most parents simply aren\u2019t aware of the implications of having a loose tablet in a fast moving vehicle.\u201d\r\n\r\n Protect your child today – Nextbase Unimount – available exclusively at Halfords \u2013 double KidStart savings for a limited period only!<\/a><\/strong>\r\n

The mount connects to the head rest of the front seat and charges the tablet via a USB 2.0 power connection to your vehicle\u2019s cigarette port ensuring your tablet will never run out of battery – allowing you to easily and safely let your passengers enjoy movies on the move.\r\n\r\nThe Nextbase UniMount is compatible with virtually all 7″ to 11″ tablets (iPad mini, air and 1-4, Samsung Galaxy Tab and more).

How does the uniMount work?<\/h3>\r\nIn the unfortunate event of an accident, both the Nextbase mount and any tablet attached, remain securely fastened to and move with the front seat. This prevents either from coming loose and injuring the passenger behind. As it is locked firmly in place your tablet is also fully protected from being damaged during the accident.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe UniMount marks an important step forward in the rear-seat entertainment industry. As with any product that is going to be used largely by children, safety is of the utmost importance. Parents can now feel confident that in an accident situation, their child will not be harmed by the movement of an unstable mount.\u201d\r\n\r\n Protect your children today – The Nextbase UniMount is available exclusively to buy at Halfords (4% KidStart savings)<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nVideo demonstration of the Nextbase UniMount:\r\n
