Reflectors for children's clothing

As you know, the dark time of the day is quite dangerous not only for adults, but also for children. Lack of light or an inconspicuous pedestrian has often been the cause of many traffic accidents, which often end badly. That is why in 2015 a special law was issued that obliges parents to monitor the presence of reflectors on children's clothes. The use of reflective elements gave good results according to the experience of European countries, so the Russian government decided to introduce a corresponding law in our country.

Unfortunately, at night, drivers cannot immediately notice a person crossing the road, especially if there are no lights or other sources of light other than headlights. If there are reflective elements on a person’s clothing, he becomes visible from afar, which greatly simplifies the task of drivers. Another feature of reflectors is the fact that they are visible not only from afar, but also in any weather, even rainy. Whether it is rain, snow, downpour or fog, these elements will be visible to the driver, and he will be able to react in time if the pedestrian decides to cross the road. That is why these devices are so important and necessary, and not only for children and adolescents, but also for adults.

Clothing for adults with reflective elements is sold in specialized stores, but it is not cheap, and wearing it every day is not very convenient. As for children's clothing, here the manufacturers really took care of our children, and almost all of them produce outerwear with reflectors, not only on jackets, coats or down jackets, but also on walking trousers and waterproof pants.

But there are clothes that do not provide for the presence of reflective elements, this fact applies to both children and adults. In the absence of these elements, they can be sewn with your own hands.

These luminous accessories are a pendant or keychain that can be hung around the neck by threading it through a thread or attached to a backpack by attaching a special hook to it. Such flickers are double-sided, and both sides reflect light.

These reflective elements are ordinary badges that are attached to clothing with a pin. This type of flicker is the most common and loved by young people and young children. Thanks to modern technologies, drawings of cartoon characters, as well as portraits of famous actors or musicians, can be applied to the plastic base of the badge.

This type of reflective elements will appeal to both adults and children. Adult athletes involved in running, rollerblading or cycling will appreciate the practicality and convenience of such devices. Put it on your hand and you can safely go for a walk.Children, especially girls, will love the luminous accessory that will decorate their hands and look interesting. Reflective bracelets can be mounted not only on the wrist, but also on a backpack, bicycle, scooter and much more. The only disadvantage of these elements is that they quickly lose their luminous properties and only last for a couple of days.

Such reflective elements are very fond of small children. They are interesting, beautiful and easy to apply. It is enough to remove the protective layer from the reverse side and stick it on any desired surface. Stickers can have any pattern, depending on the desire, and they are sold in sets of several pieces, as they lose their luminous qualities very quickly. After the first wash, the sticker deteriorates and needs to be replaced with another one. These flickers can be glued to clothes, bags, backpacks, books and any other surface.

They are a kind of decals, only they are applied to the surface not with water, but with the help of an iron. It is enough to iron the thermal sticker with an iron, putting it on clothes, and it will immediately go to the desired object. Such flickers have a longer service life and can endure several washes.

Another type of reflective elements are reflective tapes. They are sold in rolls in many specialized stores. Some have adhesive properties and it is enough to cut them to the desired length and then stick them on any surface. There are reflective tapes that need to be sewn on by hand. The principle of their work is the same: the desired length is cut off and sewn to any clothing.

Some craftsmen make flickers on their own.Of course, it's not enough to just stick on a few reflective flickers to keep you safe on the street. Parents must necessarily tell the child how to behave on the road and teach him the rules of the road. And first of all, you need to show your own correct example so that the child understands how important it is for a pedestrian to follow the rules of the road.
