Add-On Installations to Improve Your Trips with Kids

Detailing & Customization Expert • June 2, 2019

 

One of the greatest adventures you can take is a road trip with your children. However, even driving them around town can be met with some challenges that you might not expect. Taking steps to keep the children safe and entertained can go a long way to having an enjoyable trip. Here are a few add-on installations for your vehicle that you should consider.

  • Back-Up Camera- Being able to see behind you when backing up is something you’ll enjoy even when you don’t have the kids with you. Of all the add-on installations, this one might be the best in terms of adding value to the vehicle and reducing the chance for an accident.
  • Radio Installations- Children aren’t nearly as amused and entertained by the passing scenery as you might think. There are several road trip games that can help with this, but nothing quite beats singing along to their favorite songs or teaching them a few new ones.
  • 12-Volt Wiring- Your kids will probably have various electronics that they’ll want to bring that require a 12-volt outlet or can be powered using an adapter. You’ll be ready to roll for everything from the GPS unit to DVD players, cell phones, laptops, and tablets they might want to bring. Electronics can keep children entertained for longer trips, so you won’t get that “are we there yet?” question every 5 miles.
  • Radar Detection- It can be easy to get distracted when you’re having fun with your children in the car, but you don’t want to get caught speeding. Radar detection isn’t about avoiding a ticket as much as getting a reminder you need to slow down, which is safer for you and your children.

It’s well understood that the best way to protect your vehicle from road debris is by installing paint protection film in Charlotte . PPF or clear bra as it’s commonly known is an extremely durable polymer film that protects substrates from chips, scratches, and more. Plus, advanced nanotechnology has introduced a new line of ceramic coated paint protection films – offering brilliant shine, depth, and hydrophobic properties. PPF protects your car from physical damage and preserves the paint and shine. While ceramic coatings have been custom formulated for DIY enthusiasts to install themselves, is it possible for a vehicle owner to apply PPF themselves. Well – in short – yes – it’s possible.
