Necessity of child safety seat
Although the number of cars in China is increasing year by year, many people don't know enough about children's riding safety: they are used to sitting in the car with their children in their arms, or letting them use adult seat belts, or even sitting in the co-pilot position.
According to the survey data of the emergency department of Beijing Children's Hospital, among the children with craniocerebral injury caused by road traffic injuries, 54% are motor vehicle passengers, 37% are pedestrians and 9% are motorcycle/bicycle/electric vehicle passengers. It is worth noting that all children under the age of 1 are motor vehicle passengers, and no child safety seat is installed.
Zhou, director of the Vehicle Safety Research Office of the Road Traffic Safety Research Center of the Ministry of Public Security, pointed out that if compared horizontally, there is little difference between children and other people in the deaths caused by traffic accidents, and the overall trend is downward, but the total amount is still not small, especially on holidays. "Among them, not using safety protection devices such as child safety seats when traveling by car is the main reason for aggravating children's road traffic injuries."
Fang Dan, a road safety and injury prevention official in the representative office of the World Health Organization in China, said that when vehicles collide, the correct use of restraint devices such as child safety seats can greatly reduce the death risk of infant passengers.
According to the survey report on children's riding safety and the use of child safety seats in some large and medium-sized cities by the China Women's Development Foundation, the possibility of fatal injuries for infants under 1 year old can be reduced by 7 1%, for infants aged 0-4 years old by 54% and for children aged 4-7 years old by 59%.
