1. The child safety seat must be installed on the rear seat of the car, and the seat installation should be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements, and it cannot be installed on the front seat of the car with airbag.
2. Don't change the design of child safety seat or car seat belt without authorization, and let a child safety seat that was originally unsuitable be installed in your car. If there are installation problems, it is necessary to communicate with dealers or manufacturers to coordinate installation matters or replace other models of products. 3. If the child safety seat is removed frequently, it is necessary to carefully check whether it is placed correctly after each installation.
Even if it is installed in the car for a long time, it needs to be checked regularly to ensure the installation is firm. 4. The service life of child safety seats is generally about 5 years, and the plastic will age after being used for a long time, so even if the product is not damaged, the safety seats that have been used for more than 5 years should be replaced in time to avoid potential safety hazards.
In addition, with the growth of children's age, some long-term use of child safety seats need to change the way of seat belt fixation to ensure ride comfort.
2. What functions should a child safety seat have?
The child safety seat shall have the following functions: 1. When the vehicle collides forward or brakes suddenly, it should be able to effectively prevent the child's body from moving forward quickly and avoid secondary collision, and it should not slide forward because the safety seat is not fastened; 2. When the vehicle collides, the backrest wing and headrest wing on the safety seat can effectively protect the trunk and head of the child; 3. When the vehicle collides backwards, the backrest and headrest of the safety seat can support the trunk and head of the child to prevent the neck of the child from being damaged due to rapid backward movement; 4. When the vehicle rolls over, the safety seat can only be slightly displaced at most and must not be loose; 5. When the child sleeps, the seat wing should ensure that the child's body will not be seriously skewed to avoid injury during collision; Because children of different ages need to use different styles of safety seats, cleverly designed safety seats should be suitable for children of longer ages, and the usual way is height adjustable.
According to the age and weight of children, they are divided into four categories: 1. /kloc-children under 0/year (applicable to children under 1 3kg):/kloc-children under 0/year should always sit in the rear safety seat. There are different types of rear safety seats, but baby seats can only be installed in the rear.
However, the car seat of a convertible is equipped with a backward safety seat, which has high restrictions on height and weight. If it is not installed properly, it will make children feel more uncomfortable. The inclination of the seat should be between 30 and 45 degrees to prevent the child's head from drooping forward.
The seat should not lean back too much, otherwise, in the event of a collision, the child is likely to slip out of the seat. Note: 1 cannot be installed on the front seat of the car with airbag, and other seats with three-point seat belts in the car can be installed with car seats.
2, car safety seats can not be exposed to the sun. 3. The service life of normal car seat products is 5 years. Because plastic will age in the air, even if it is not damaged, the safety seat that has been used for more than 5 years should be replaced in time.
2. 1 to 3-year-old children (for children under 9-25kg): Let 1 to 3-year-old children sit in the rear safety seat for as long as possible. This is the best way to protect their safety.
They should sit in the rear-facing safety seat until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer. Once your child is taller than the rear safety seat, he can sit in the forward safety seat with seat belt. When riding in a car facing backwards, the impact force will spread to the whole back and head, thus reducing the impact of frontal collision on the neck.
Children aged 3, 4 to 7 (within the range of 15-36kg): Let children aged 4 to 7 sit in front safety seats with seat belts until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by your car seat manufacturer. Once they are taller than the forward safety seat with seat belt, they should sit in the child-assisted seat, but still sit in the back seat.
Children from 8 to 12 years old: let children from 8 to 12 years old sit in the booster seat for children until they can install the safety belt correctly. With the heightening cushion, the child's body will be raised, and the standard seat belt in the car will cover the stronger part of the body in the event of a collision.
Research data show that the probability of injury of children who use power pads is about 75% lower than that of children who do not use fixed devices. It should be noted that if the child safety seat can be installed backwards, it must be installed backwards, because such installation can protect the safety of children to the maximum extent.
How should we choose a child safety seat? In addition to choosing a child safety seat according to the child's figure and weight, the most important thing is to see whether the selected child safety seat is easy to install, whether the brand is hard enough, the material and the inspection grade. The original intention of buying a child safety seat is to protect the safety of children, but if the installation is very complicated and it is not easy to fix it firmly, the child safety seat will not play a protective role, and even threaten the safety of children in the event of an accident.
ISO FIX and LATCH are the fastest and safest fixed interfaces. As for the brands, the internationally well-known manufacturers of child safety seats mainly include: Italian CAM and Fair (BMW officially recommended child safety seats), Norwegian BeSafe, American Graco, Swiss Coccoon, and German Recaro.
Among them, the child safety seats sold in China by Swiss Coccoon, Norwegian BeSafe and Italian CAM are all imported products. Recaro (a manufacturer specializing in seat design, producing all products from airplane seats to car seats) in Germany has four production lines (the United States, China, Japan and Germany) all over the world, so some of its child safety seats sold in China may be produced in China.
In addition to choosing brands, the material of child safety seats is also very important. First of all, you can't choose a child safety seat with a * * * smell. Having a sexual smell means that young children will feel uncomfortable, or they may have soft skin. Secondly, fire prevention should choose comfortable and breathable fabrics, so that children will feel comfortable and safe when sitting inside.
Finally, the most important thing is the inner filler of the child safety seat. Good child safety seats will use high-quality EPS materials, and inferior child safety seats will only use ordinary foam plastic.
A mother's personal experience tells you how important a child safety seat is.
A mother's personal experience tells you how important a child seat is!
Recently, a mother in Pennsylvania, USA, uploaded a photo on the Internet, which aroused people's concern about child safety seats.
In the photo released by the mother, the car she was driving was hit beyond recognition in the car accident, but it was shocking that the two child safety seats in the car were intact and did not deform at all.
According to local media reports, on September 26th, the mother named Jenna Casado Rabberman shared that a 20 15 Honda -CRV car she was driving was badly hit in a car accident, but fortunately, two child safety seats in the car protected her two children, who were only 6 weeks old and 3 years old.
Raberman said, "This is why children should be put in safety seats every time they travel. Even if they scream and complain that the seat belt is too tight and the seat is too uncomfortable, you should stick to it as a parent. "
According to reports, Raberman emphasized in the article that if you don't spend two minutes checking the child safety seat before going out, the situation of the children will be very different when the car accident happens.
When the sharing was forwarded by tens of thousands of netizens, Rabeman responded that she never thought that so many people would see this photo. She hopes that more families will be affected after watching it, and use child safety seats correctly to ensure that every child will not be accidentally injured when traveling.
According to reports, when the car stops suddenly or collides when driving at a speed of 50km/h, 10kg children will be impacted by 300 to 400kg, while safety seats can reduce the casualty rate by 70% to 80%.
According to CCTV News 20 15, according to traffic accident statistics, when there is a traffic accident, the infant mortality rate without a child safety seat in the car is 8 times that with a child safety seat, and the injury rate is 3 times.
The Global Road Safety Report released by WHO also shows that the infant mortality rate from car accidents can be reduced by 70%, and the child mortality rate from car accidents can be reduced by 54% to 80%.
The professional name of child safety seat is "child occupant restraint system", which is specially designed for children of different weights or ages, and can effectively improve the safety of children's riding. In the case of car collision or sudden deceleration, it can reduce the impact on children and limit their physical movement, thus reducing their injuries.
Experimental Secret: How harmful is it not to use a safety seat?
Some parents said that they can sit in the back seat with their children in their arms when riding. Is this really okay? The reporter specially came to China Automobile Technology Research Center to test whether the methods commonly used by parents can protect children's safety by simulating automobile collision experiments.
The experimenter used a dummy weighing about 75 kilograms to simulate the parents of the child. The staff first put it in the back of the vehicle, fastened the seat belt, and then let it hold the fake baby with both hands. After everything is ready, the collision experiment begins.
(1) Take the children in the back row.
When a collision occurs, the simulated baby in the arms of the simulated dummy flies forward instantly. Experts explained that when a collision occurs, if a car hits a steel wall at a speed of 30 to 50 kilometers per hour, it will generate 30 to 50 times its own force. A child weighing 10 kg will produce 300 to 500 kg of force, while it is difficult for adults to lift 300 to 500 kg of objects.
(2) carrying children in the front row.
In the event of a collision, the airbag in the front row of the car deploys, and the children in the arms of adults will have priority to contact the airbag. When the airbag hits the child's head at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, it will cause great harm to the child.
③ Children wear adult seat belts and ride in the back row.
Because the seat belt is designed for adults, because of the height problem, the seat belt is tied to the child, just at the neck position. Once the vehicle collides, the seat belt can easily clamp the child's neck under the action of inertia, causing suffocation or breaking the neck.
The above three ways, not only can not give children safety protection, but may bring more deadly secondary injuries.
How to use child safety seat correctly
Experts introduced several key points in the correct use of child safety seats:
(1) Children weighing less than 9 kg should use the rear-facing infant safety seat, which must be installed in the back seat;
(2) Children over 9 kg can take the safety seat facing forward, but be careful that the safety belt must be fastened and cannot be relaxed;
③ When installing the child safety seat, be sure to tie it to the rear seat until it can't shake.
④ Children over 4 years old and weighing more than 18kg can choose to raise the seat cushion and use it together with the seat belt. In the process of use, it is necessary to ensure that the seat belt is obliquely attached to the chest and will not cause pressure on the neck.

5. How to choose a baby safety seat?
It is more scientific to choose children according to their weight.
Many parents choose child safety seats according to their children's age. In fact, in daily life, many children's products are marked, suitable for XX-XX years old. However, age is not the only selection criterion. Children's seats should be selected according to the weight of different children, and age is only a reference value. Taking FAW-Volkswagen child safety seat as an example, the products currently defined are divided into G 1, G2+3, G0+ 1. Now with the improvement of living standards, children's growth differences are different, and it is more reliable to choose according to their weight.
Forward and reverse installation types should be distinguished.
For those 0- 1 year-old babies, because the cervical vertebrae and other parts are relatively fragile, it is best to use a child seat installed backwards to protect them, such as the so-called basket chair. However, as the child's height increases, the child's legs may have to be curled up all the time, which is not safe enough. In this case, the child seat mounted forward will be safer. It should be noted that the instruction manual for children's seats will clearly state that some children's seats are absolutely not allowed to be installed backwards.
Guaranteed strict certification standards.
Safe sales channels are very important.
Now e-commerce is relatively developed, and there are many child safety seats with low price and wide application range on the Internet. But we remind you that no matter what channel you buy, please be sure to look for regular manufacturers, regular channels and certified child safety seats.
Because the material cost of child safety seat is high, and it involves the cost of preliminary design, collision experiment, production and transportation, the price will not be very cheap. Therefore, consumers are advised to consider the sales channels, certification standards and quality of products first, not the price.
Do not touch the second-hand safety seat.
It is not recommended that you buy a second-hand child safety seat. From the perspective of baby's safety and health, it is unfavorable. First of all, the second-hand child safety seat can't confirm whether it has experienced a car accident, and the child safety seat can't be used after a collision. Second, the second-hand child safety seat cannot guarantee its source, whether it meets the national quality standards, and whether there is inherent damage during use. Third, second-hand child safety seats, if you don't understand their maintenance, are likely to breed bacteria or viruses that endanger your baby's health.
The child safety seat interface should be identified.
When many people buy safety seats, they will think that as long as the style is satisfactory, there will be no problem. Anyway, the interface of the seat is universal. It needs to be corrected here. Before buying, you must know the interface form of the safety seat on your own vehicle and the interface form of the seat you bought, because there is a difference between our seat and the interface on the vehicle. At present, there are three interface forms:
Seat belt fixing mode: The seat belt interface fixing mode is actually the interface mode of the automobile itself, which is most used at present, and supports two modes: forward fixing and reverse fixing.
Cleaning takes a long time.
After buying a safety seat, many parents think that everything will be fine as long as they use it correctly according to the instructions. In fact, they overlooked a small problem. Just like our clothes, safety seats should be cleaned regularly, otherwise some bacteria will breed on them, posing a threat to children's health.
You can pull down the seat cover and wash it carefully with advanced detergent and warm water (hand washing at 30°C). Please follow the washing instructions accurately. If the washing temperature exceeds 30°C, the seat cover fabric may fade. Don't dry the seat cover, and don't use the electric dryer to dry it (otherwise the fabric may separate from the seat cushion). Plastic parts can be cleaned with soft soapy water. Do not use strong materials (such as solvents) for cleaning.
6. Child safety seat
How old can a child be without a car seat? It depends on age and weight, as well as height. Under 5 years old, you must use a safety seat.
How old can a child be without a car seat? According to the difference of age, weight and height, there are several points to use the child safety seat correctly: ① For children weighing less than 9 kg, the backward infant safety seat should be used and must be installed in the back seat; (2) Children over 9 kg can take the safety seat facing forward, but be careful that the safety belt must be fastened and cannot be relaxed; ③ When installing the child safety seat, be sure to tie it to the rear seat until it can't shake. ④ Children over 4 years old and weighing more than 18kg can choose to raise the seat cushion and use it together with the seat belt. In the process of use, it is necessary to ensure that the seat belt is obliquely attached to the chest and will not cause pressure on the neck.
7. What should I pay attention to when buying a child safety seat?
1. Only children's car safety seats that have passed safety certification have safety guarantee. Although there is no clear legislation on the safety certification of children's car safety seats in China at present, parents can refer to the certification standards of other countries when choosing their children (please pay attention to the certification code and production date that passed the test, etc. ).
2. Please choose a suitable car seat for children according to their weight. When a car collides, the impact on children is determined by the child's weight and the speed of the car. Therefore, different groups of children's car safety seats are also distinguished according to weight rather than age. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a suitable car seat for children according to their weight.
3. The more expensive the safety seat, the better. Don't ignore the safety and correct use of products because of additional functions. In order to pursue "luxury" and other selling points, some brands add too many additional functions to children's car safety seat products, which is not conducive to the safe and correct use of products. The higher the price, the safer the seat. The price of products is often influenced by factors such as the production scale of manufacturers, import tariffs, circulation links, etc., and even fraudulent acts of counterfeiting imported products and winning the favor of consumers with high prices appear. Safety certification is the only standard to ensure the safety of car children's safety seats. Germany's CONCORD seats got the highest scores from institutions such as ADAC and WARENTEST, which represent the most stringent and authoritative tests in the world. It is also the only brand among all safety seat brands that won the Oscar "IF" design award and the "Red Dot" design award representing German industrial design.
8. Children's safety knowledge when taking the bus
The correct way for a baby to ride.
Sit in the back seat
The child's safety seat is the back seat of the car. So parents must let their children get into the habit of sitting in the back seat. Unless there is no room in the back seat of the car, you can let your child sit in the safety seat, or let older children sit in the front seat with seat belts, but you must adjust the front seat as much as possible. At the same time, children under the age of 12 should be prevented from sitting in the position with airbags.
Use child-only safety seats.
The European Driving Safety Organization recommends that child safety seats must be installed in the back seat. When you take your children out for a ride, maybe you are used to holding young children in your arms or letting them sit in the car at will. You know, it's dangerous! An ordinary emergency brake or a minor collision accident may not have much impact on adults, but it may be fatal to children.
Therefore, children and babies must use the child-specific safety seat and fasten the safety belt firmly on the safety seat. As for the placement of child safety seats, whether they face forward or backward, you need to carefully refer to the product manual. For a car with an airbag in the passenger seat, the child seat must not be placed in the front row, so as to avoid children being injured by the burst airbag!
Children should avoid seats with cushion airbags.
Don't forget the airbag, which is a safety device that is easily overlooked by parents. It is an airbag originally designed to protect passengers. It's like a blow to the head. Adults will faint if they touch it directly.
At present, the front seats of cars are equipped with more than two airbags, and most imported cars are also equipped with side airbags and even air curtains, which may hurt children when they explode. Therefore, the position of the child safety seat should consider how to avoid being touched after the airbag explodes.
How to Install Child Safety Seat Correctly
According to the instruction manual, correctly equip the safety seat:
The safety seat must be firmly fixed on the back seat of the car. If the waist span of the car seat belt is not tight or the safety seat slides on the seat, your baby will not be fully protected.
When the safety seat is fixed, the swing range from left to right will not exceed one inch;
In order to stabilize the safety seat, you can press the safety seat on the car seat and tighten the car seat belt at the same time. If it still shakes, you need to try to install it elsewhere in the car or use other types of car seat belts. If it is really impossible to install the safety seat firmly in the car, you should contact the service provider.
Guide the baby to sit safely in the safety seat.
If the baby is firmly tied to the seat when driving, it will not cry and will not affect the parents' attention. It is really a nerve-racking thing. Many parents give up using it because their baby doesn't want to sit in his special seat. So, how do you get your baby to sit in a safety seat?
Cultivate your baby's safety awareness from an early age;
Prepare some toys that the baby likes to play within the range of action to attract his attention;
Always let the baby feel that mom and dad are around him, reducing the baby's loneliness and fear;
Someone should take care of the baby, so that it won't affect the parents' driving and the care of the baby, killing two birds with one stone.
