First of all, you should use a child car seat that is appropriate for your child's age group, and most parents understand the importance of properly placing their child (especially young children) in the child car seat. However, the report shows that 80% of children are not properly seated in car seats, so let's talk about the use of child seats.
From birth to one year old and weighing up to 9 kg, you can use a rear-facing infant seat or a convertible orientation (forward-facing and rear-facing switching) infant and toddler seat. Children under one year of age and up to 9 kg or infants over one year of age and less than 9 kg should continue to be placed backwards. The above is just a minimum guideline. Many people have suggested that for added safety, children should be placed in a back-facing infant and toddler seat until they are too old to sit in the seat.
When the child is over one year old and over 9 kg, a forward-facing infant car seat or a convertible orientation (face-to-money and rear-facing) infant and toddler seat can be used until they reach 18 kg.
Children over 18 kg should be placed in a booster seat equipped with a seat belt. There are two types of this type of booster seat, one is backless and the other is high-back.
Do not allow your child to use your car's own seat belt until they weigh 36 kg and are 150 cm tall. Keep in mind that a child can only use a seat belt if the shoulder strap is over the child's shoulder and not over the neck, and the belt is over the base of the thigh rather than the abdomen.
All children under the age of 12 should be placed in the rear seats, especially if the front seats have side airbags.
If you have the right seat, the problem may be that you can't put the seat in the car correctly or you can't put your child in the seat properly.
When using a rear-facing infant seat, or a convertible (forward-facing and rear-facing switchable) dual-purpose infant or toddler seat, make sure that:
The seat belt of the rear-facing seat rests on (or slightly below) the child's shoulder.
The chest buckle is placed correctly at the height of the child's armpits.
The seat belt of the child seat fits snugly and tightly.
The seat has an inclination of about 45
When using a forward-facing toddler seat, make sure that:
The seat belt of the forward-facing toddler seat is placed on (or slightly below) the child's shoulder, and the forward-facing removable seat should be fitted with the topmost fixing slot.
The seat belt of the child seat fits snugly and tightly.
The chest buckle should be placed in the middle of the child's chest or in the armpits.
Some forward-facing toddler seats can be used up to 18 kg and up to 12 years of age. When a child is 18 kg (especially if the seat belt of the child seat is lower than the child's shoulder), the seat belt of the child seat can be removed and the car's own seat belt (including the lap belt shoulder strap) can be used.
When using a booster seat with a seat belt, make sure that:
When using a booster seat with a seat belt, use the car's own seat belt (including the belt shoulder belt) at the same time, and not only the belt belt. This principle applies to both backless and high-back booster seats.
Keep the shoulder straps tightly tucked around your shoulders against your chest, and never put them under your arms or behind you.
The position of the belt should be lowered, at the base of the thighs, not on the abdomen.
The following car seats are to be avoided:
Seats that have been recalled by the manufacturer.
Seats that have been in a car crash.
Seats that are more than 10 years old (or more than 5 or 6 years according to the manufacturer's regulations).
Seats without the date of manufacture, name, and model are not indicated.
Seats without instructions.
Seats with missing parts or cracks in the frame.
Tips:Child safety seat is specially designed for children of different ages, different heights, weights to protect the safety of children, it is completely different from the interior decoration of the car, absolutely not dispensable configuration, and for infants and children of different ages and heights, the selection and installation of child car seats also have different standards.
