We know that there are more and more families with cars nowadays. With the birth of their second child, the question of whether to buy a safety seat has become a problem that troubles many parents. Some people may feel that they are very careful and safe when driving and do not need to buy a safety seat for their children. So, is this idea correct? Is it necessary to buy a safety seat?
Is it necessary to buy a safety seat?
1. After the development of automobiles, seat belts and airbags were introduced to protect personal safety. The child safety seat is designed according to recognized standards to ensure the safety of children while riding. It is suitable for adults weighing 36kg and standing 140cm tall. If a baby who is not tall enough uses a seat belt, it may get stuck on their neck, causing greater harm to the baby in the event of an accident.
2. If a car traveling at a speed of 48 kilometers per hour collides, a child weighing one kilogram will generate approximately 240 kilograms of impact in an instant. This is something that children cannot bear. To ensure their safety while riding, safety seats should be used. When a car suddenly collides or brakes while traveling at a speed of 50km/h, the objects inside the car will generate an impact force of 30-40 times its own weight. If the baby weighs 10kg, the impact force generated during collision is 300-400kg, and it occurs suddenly, causing the baby in the arms to fly out.
3. Don't measure safety by feeling, protect your baby's safety, start with purchasing a safety seat.
What should I pay attention to when using a safety seat?
1. Installation location. Child safety seats cannot be installed on seats with airbags in the front row of a car, as the impact force generated at the moment of airbag deployment is enormous and can cause fatal injury to children; The most suitable installation position is in the rear of the car, especially behind the driver's seat, which is relatively safe for the entire vehicle.
2. The seat belt must be kept tight. When fixing a child safety seat with a car seat belt, it is necessary to ensure that the seat belt is retracted to a taut state after installation to keep the seat stable. Because in the event of an accident, the smaller the shaking amplitude, the more it can ensure that the seat provides protection for children.
3. Seat protection. Do not let the safety seat come into contact with corrosive objects, and try to avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent damage to the safety materials in the seat.
4. Regular inspections. Regularly check the integrity of the child seat. And adjust the elasticity of the car child safety seat belt, the height of the shoulder strap position, and the width of the seat in a timely manner according to the child's body shape and changes in clothing, to ensure the comfort of the safety seat.
Is it necessary to buy a safety seat? From the above introduction, we know that it is actually necessary to buy a child safety seat. Some people may have a lucky mentality and think that they will drive steadily without any problems, but sometimes getting into a car accident is not their fault.
