Child safety seat regulations

Newborns are the focus of every family, and the growth and development of newborns has always been a concern of parents, and it is also one of the problems that many parents are troubled by. Let's learn about the child safety seat regulations. Child safety seat regulations 1

Child safety seats are incorporated into the national law

The newly revised Law on the Protection of Minors was passed in October last year and will be officially implemented from now on. Among them, Article 18 clearly stipulates that "parents or other guardians of minors should provide a safe family living environment for minors, take measures such as providing child safety seats and educating minors to obey traffic rules to prevent minors from being injured by traffic accidents."

is a child safety seat necessary? China Women's Development Foundation's Investigation Report on Children's Ride Safety and the Use of Child Safety Seats in Some Large and Medium-sized Cities shows that if children's safety seats are used correctly in traffic accidents, the possibility of fatal injuries to children will be greatly reduced: the possibility of fatal injuries to infants under one year old will be reduced by 71%, that to children aged from one to four years old will be reduced by 54%, and that to children aged from four to seven will be reduced by 59%.

what is the legal definition of "child"? On March 24 this year, the draft of the Road Traffic Safety Law (Revised Draft) issued by the Ministry of Public Security made more specific provisions on the use of restraint systems such as child safety seats. Among them, Article 59 stipulates that "passengers who are less than 14 cm in height should use restraint systems such as child safety seats or booster pads that meet national standards when riding family passenger cars". At the same time, it is also mentioned that "drivers are not allowed to arrange minors under the age of 12 to take the passenger seat".

after visiting many online and offline maternal and infant stores, the reporter found that there are generally two types of child safety seats on the market at present: -3 years old and 4-13 years old.

The unclear rules have caused heated discussion among citizens.

During the interview, citizens expressed different views on whether to use child safety seats.

Ms. Tian, who lives in Guali Town, raised a question about the legal provisions: "This law does not set specific requirements for children's age and height, and it is a bit difficult to implement it. Although some children are young, they are tall or fat, so it is difficult to unify the standards." She said, "Our daughter used to sit in a safety seat for a while when she was a child, but she didn't like it. She cried when she sat on it. Later, we didn't insist, and the safety seat became a decoration."

Mr. Li, who works in Chengxiang Street, analyzed: "If children's safety seats are to be implemented nationwide, they need to be further promoted. On the one hand, safety seats occupy a lot of space and are inconvenient; On the other hand, many parents are lucky enough to think that it is a little bit of a road, and the problem of not getting on the high speed should not be big, and the price of child safety seats is expensive. "

On the online shopping platform, the price of child safety seats ranges from 2 yuan and 3 yuan to several thousand yuan, and the price shows obvious faults. The best selling price is around 2 yuan, and foreign brands are obviously more popular than domestic brands.

"Because safety seats are relatively new products in China, which are relatively popular in cities and rare in rural areas, ordinary people may think that domestic brands will not keep up with the quality. After all, foreign safety seats have been made for many years, and the brands are guaranteed." Ms. Tian bought her daughter products imported from Germany, and ordered them overseas.

Some citizens expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the implementation of the new law: "It is said that it is illegal not to use child safety seats, but there is no specific measure to supervise the implementation. Although there is a legal basis, its influence is limited. What should the police do if it fails to comply?" Or administrative punishment? Criticize education? Also, what should children do by bus or taxi? "

There are also citizens who firmly support the implementation of the new law. Ms. Wang of Beigan Street said: "Safety seats are a safety guarantee for children and must be used. Our son was born with a safety basket and has been sitting in a safety seat ever since.

We also bought a safety stool. If we want to take someone else's car, we will use this portable safety stool. Children just need to instill safety knowledge into him from an early age and form the habit of sitting in a safety seat. This is a necessity of life and cannot be saved. After the safety seat is written into the law, it will attract everyone's attention and will greatly promote the protection of children's traffic safety. "

Will you be punished if you don't use the child safety seat?

When the new law comes into effect, many citizens are concerned about: How will you be punished if you don't comply?

At present, the Law on the Protection of Minors doesn't put forward the standard of administrative punishment for not using child safety seats. "Before, in Shanghai, Shandong, Shenzhen and other local laws and regulations, corresponding provisions have been made for safe child safety seats. For example, Shenzhen has clear penalties for violating the regulations.' Children under the age of 4 should use child safety seats in non-operating passenger cars, and offenders can be fined 3 yuan.' "Lawyer Zhang Linzi told reporters.

The reporter learned from the traffic police department that at present, Xiaoshan and even Hangzhou have not issued corresponding punitive regulations on the installation of child safety seats. The common situation is that one of the five adult passengers is carrying a child in a car, which is considered as overload and will be fined.

It is a legal obligation to use safety seats correctly

"I think this strengthens the protection of minors. From the guardian's point of view, using child safety seats has become a new guardianship obligation. This means that if there are children in the car, the correct use of safety seats becomes a legal obligation. " Zhang Linzi said, "The new law will also promote the changes of laws and regulations related to road traffic laws. For example, in the process of traffic accidents, from the perspective of the fault party of the accident, failing to use the child safety seat according to the regulations may be included in a project that violates traffic rules."

Zhang Linzi believes that there have been many traffic accidents in recent years, many of which are due to children's improper use of safety seats, resulting in a high injury rate. Child safety seats have been written into the national law, which is of positive significance for improving this situation.

In the absence of legal restrictions, many parents think that using child safety seats is optional, but they don't pay attention to it consciously. After being written into the law, parents' inaction is a violation of the law. Once the child safety seat becomes a national legislation, its effectiveness will be greatly increased, requiring the whole country to abide by it uniformly.

However, before the detailed laws and regulations on punishment mechanism came out, many Xiaoshan citizens were not concerned about the use of safety seats. The reporter saw at the gate of a primary school in Renmin Road that there were not many children's safety seats installed in the vehicles where parents came to pick up their children.

departmental actions to strengthen the quality supervision of children's seats

after the implementation of the new law, it is obvious to practitioners in related industries that the market demand is changing.

Seven or eight years ago, this newspaper conducted a survey on the sales of child safety seats, and all automobile decoration companies and businesses related to automobile 4S shops said that the sales situation was not optimistic.

at that time, the manager of Xiaoshan I love my car beauty decoration service department revealed that there were not many customers who went to buy child safety seats, and only one or two seats could be sold a month. A 4S shop said that due to poor sales, the business of child safety seats was simply cancelled. Respondents said: "Parents have to buy and install, but also coax their children to sit still. Many people find it troublesome, just like adults wearing their own seat belts. Although they think it is important, they often don't wear them."

However, with the increase of safety awareness, children's safety seats are basically placed in various maternal and child stores, automobile decoration companies and 4S stores in Xiaoshan. In a maternal and child store, the clerk pointed to a German imported brand child safety seat with a price of 2,58 yuan and told reporters, "This one is selling very well. We are doing overseas purchasing products, and it has been in short supply recently."

The increase in sales of child safety seats has also attracted the attention of the regulatory authorities. The relevant person in charge of the District Market Supervision Bureau said that the product quality supervision of child safety seats will be continuously strengthened from the production field and circulation field, so as to add protection for children's ride safety.

"The market prospect of child safety seats is very good. It is a product just needed, and there will be explosive growth in the future." The relevant person in charge of Hangzhou Lemeng Industrial Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of child safety seats in Guali, said, "As people pay more attention to ride safety, the sales volume of our products is increasing year by year. At present, the annual sales volume is 15, sets, and the retail price is between 2,5 and 3, yuan. Most of them are sold online in China and exported to Europe and America."

This used to be a traditional enterprise producing steel pipes. Seven or eight years ago, entrepreneur Qian Jianhong saw that domestic consumers chose foreign brands such as Germany, Sweden and Japan whenever they needed high-quality child safety seats. The quality of domestic products was mixed and uneven, and the safety hazards were serious, so he decided to "kill" this "blue ocean". Now this company has become the first and only manufacturer of high-end child safety seats in Xiaoshan. Regulations on Child Safety Seats 2

Selection details of child safety seats

Headrest: The child's brain is in an important period of growth and development, so the head needs special protection. Therefore, the design of headrest should not only have good anti-collision function, but also consider whether the baby is comfortable.

chair back: it's best to adjust it to different tilt angles, so as to suit the baby's sleeping, playing and other different states. The backrest with deep curvature can effectively prevent side impact. The inner layer should have an anti-collision layer to slow down the impact force during impact. 3 (or 5) point seat belts and buckles: including shoulder pads, crotch pads and crotch guards. The comfort and safety of the baby should be considered in the details of these parts. Some locks can also show whether the seat belt is securely installed, so as to prevent potential safety hazards caused by temporary negligence of adults.

Cushion: Thickened design, some of which are raised, and some of which can be used separately from the backrest.

car seats for children of different ages

A, car safety seats for newborns (from newborns to 9 months): applicable groups range from newborns to 9 kg or 2 lb babies (generally 9 months old). Baby car safety seats are generally equipped with a swinging bottom, and there are handles for carrying baskets by hand. Some baby car safety seats can be used in conjunction with trolleys, so that they will not go in and out between trolleys and cars to wake sleeping babies, and the design is very flexible.

B, car safety seat for children from newborn to 4 years old: it is designed to provide two functions at the same time, first for newborns to 9-month-old babies, and then changed to 9-month-old babies or children weighing 18 pounds to 4 pounds (generally 4 years old). This kind of seat can be fixed in the car and can be used for a long time.

C, car safety seat for children aged 9 months to 4 years: This type of seat is simple in design, without as many complicated functions as the former seat, and is suitable for older children.

D, car seat for children aged 9 months to 1 years: This seat is an interesting combination product, which is not only a seat specially prepared for toddlers (aged 9 months to 4 years), but also a seat belt that can be removed from the seat and directly used by adults, and can be used until the age of 1. Parents also do not need to replace other car safety seat cushions. The disadvantage of this product is that children between 9 months and 1 years old have quite different heads, and some feel that it is not too comfortable for younger babies.

E, car seat cushion (suitable for children aged 3, 4 to 6): car seat cushion is indispensable. The research results show that children are too small, even if they use adult seat belts, it will still be very dangerous if there is an accident. Car seat cushions are usually not expensive, and parents should not save on them. Child safety seat regulations 3

How old is the general safety seat

How old is the baby to use the safety seat? There are different regulations in different countries, some according to the age, and some according to the baby's weight and height. Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other foreign countries have strict regulations that babies under the age of 12 should use safety seats to fix their positions. Generally speaking, babies weighing less than 36 kg must use it.

There is no legislation in China to force the use of safety seats. How old a baby needs can only refer to the standards of other countries. According to the physical characteristics of children in China, a baby should use safety seats when he is 1 years old and weighs less than 36kg. On the contrary, a baby who weighs more than 36kg (except obese children) when he is 5 years old may not use them.

It is understood that in China, parents usually use car safety seats when their babies are 9 months to 4 years old. Because of the influence of seat design, children's growth and wishes, many seats will not be used for a long time.

Therefore, it is suggested to consider adjustable and cost-effective safety seats when choosing seats, instead of blindly pursuing expensive brands. The most important thing is that babies sit safely and comfortably. But you can't buy a seat with a big span. Some safety seats can be used from 9 months to 12 years old. Although it looks cost-effective, it is not good for your baby's safety. It should be noted that the safety seat should also be replaced in time according to the service life and wear degree.

It is totally wrong to think that seat belts, airbags and adults can protect children's safety at dangerous times! It is very necessary and important to use the child safety seat, which plays an irreplaceable role in seat belts, airbags and adults. In particular, remind parents that car owners attach great importance to it, and more importantly, pay attention to the safety of driving and try to avoid emergencies!
