Chairs to maximize child safety. Safety measures on the car such as seat belts and airbags are almost based on the size and weight of an adult. If the child is wearing a seat belt in the front seat, the child's body and weight are different from those of adults, so if the child is used exclusively for adults Safe facilities designed will not only reduce the harm but will increase children's harm.

The classification of child safety seats is divided according to the types of fixation methods. Currently, it is divided into three types: the European standard ISOFIX fixation method, the US standard LATCH fixation method, and the seat belt fixation method.

According to the age and weight of children are divided into five categories: 1. Suitable for newborns to 15 months of children (or between 2.2 kg and 13 kg of baby) 2. Suitable for newborns to 4 years old children (or weight Children between 2.2 kg and 18 kg) 3. Suitable for children from 1 to 4 years old (or between 9 kg and 18 kg) 4.

When choosing a safety seat, we must keep in mind several points: The first point is "stability." One of the greatest functions of a safety seat is to make the child sit steadily, so what the seat needs is “stand still” quality. The safest and most easily installed seat is the ISOFIX-designed safety seat. If you add an anti-flip support foot, it will make your driving safer. The second point is "thickness." The danger from the side is particularly high. Therefore, when purchasing, we must pay attention to the head of the seat protection, use a more solid head design, can reduce the risk of collision! In addition, the filling of the seats also needs to be noted that the buffering performance using EPP or ESP materials is better. These two materials look like bubbles, but they cannot be lifted when pressed, and the collision pressure is instantly converted. The third point is "shu." It is easier to fatigue on the road for a long time and you need to give your child a more comfortable seat. Some safety seats will have anti-fatigue pedals to allow children to place their feet and reduce the fatigue of long-distance travel! Seat width is also the size of the points, the wide seat allows the baby's buttocks and feet to get more room for stretching, long time car owners do not have to worry! The fourth point is "tight". Here the tight refers to the seat belts, and now the most popular front guard and five-point seat belts, one can move hands and feet, one is devoted to spread the impact, the form is different, the safety is almost! In addition to the above points, the most important thing is to select a suitable safety seat according to the child's actual situation.

At present, Chinese car owners have a relatively weak awareness of child safety seats. We should strengthen our safety awareness and prevent it from happening before we provide children with a healthy and safe driving environment.
