Useful tips for kids in Orlando
Some tips can be very useful for traveling with children to Orlando. The first one is about the rules for car seats. It’s important to know the laws of Florida and the United States, to always walk safely and not run the risk of getting fined. Until the age of 12, it is mandatory by law that all children ride in a car only in the back seat, and with a seat belt. Therefore, if your child is older than 6 years old but has less weight or height, and the seat belt is not suitable for his/her body, you should purchase the booster seat.
Another tip is that supermarkets in Orlando and pharmacies are very complete and have everything you need for your child, from food to medicine and other utensils. There are several units of these establishments in the city, so you can rest easy.
