7 June 2023 How to choose a mobile phone holder for a car
A mobile phone holder can help you avoid holding your phone while driving, which can be dangerous and distract you from the road. By keeping your mobile in a car phone holder, you can focus on driving and reduce the risk of accidents.
Mobile phone in the car?
Using a mobile phone while driving is not only illegal but also dangerous. By using a phone holder, such as a Baseus car phone holder you can comply with the law and avoid fines or penalties, but there are exceptions. If drivers have a holder for their smartphone in the car, they are allowed to use their device. But take note: typing, scrolling, or reading for minutes on end is not allowed, even if the phone is in the holder. You are only allowed to look at your phones briefly and take your eyes off the road but only as far as the road, traffic, visibility, and weather conditions allow. However, it should be clear that reading a text message is not allowed because it takes longer than just a quick glance.
What kinds of holders are there?f
Suction cup smartphone holders are the classic mounting option. They usually stick to the windscreen of the car. If the surface of the dashboard is smooth and flat enough, it will work there too. The suction cup will not stick to the leather. Experience has shown that for most vehicles, the windscreen attachment is preferable because it gives a better hold.

A mobile phone magnetic car holder uses a magnet that attaches to the back of your mobile. It holds very well, and nothing wobbles – as long as the phone allows the magnet to be centered. Conversely, if the phone's camera lenses and sensors are in the way and the magnet is not positioned along the longitudinal axis of the phone, the phone may hang a little crooked over time. It may also be necessary to attach the magnet to the top of the back of the device if the air vents are deep in the dashboard. In this case, larger phones may cover the radio or climate control panels. Make sure you check that your car is suitable for this type of phone holder.
If you're traveling with children, a tablet holder can keep them busy during long car rides by allowing them to watch movies, play games, or read books on the tablet. There are many different styles and colours of tablet holders for cars to choose from. Since you want the tablet to stay put while you are driving, investing in a table holder that you can attach to the headrest of your car seat is a great option.
Other advantages of mobile phone holders
With a high quality car phone holder, you can easily access your phone's GPS navigation or music player without having to hold it in your hand. This can make driving more fun and comfortable. Additionally, a holder can protect your phone from damage due to sudden stops, bumps, or turns while driving. It can also prevent your phone from sliding around in your car and getting lost.
Overall, a mobile phone or tablet holder can help you stay safe, focused, and connected while driving. It can make your vehicle more functional and comfortable, helping you make the most of your time on the road.
