On March 25, the newly revised “Regulations on the Administration of Road Traffic in Shanghai†was implemented. Article 34 of the Regulations stipulates that when driving a motorized vehicle on a road, a child riding a car under the age of 4 must be equipped with a safety seat. .
However, many parents are not particularly clear about the type and function of child safety seats, and they lack understanding of how to properly install and use them. Recently, the reporter came to the National Motor Vehicle Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Shanghai) in Jiading. He felt the protective effect of child safety seats on children and interviewed relevant authorities.
Child seat installation "has a particular attention"
Child safety seats have different types of choices depending on the age group, and there are different requirements for installation. Only the correct installation and use of child safety seats can truly guarantee children's safety!
　　 Expert: Child safety seats can't save
So, what kind of harm will children have if they don't use a child safety seat or if the child safety seat is not properly installed and used? In response, the reporter interviewed Lin Jiasheng, the chief engineer of the Automotive Safety Testing Technology Research Laboratory of the National Motor Vehicle Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Shanghai), and Lin Jiasheng gave a professional answer.
Morning News reporter: If you do not use a child safety seat, what is the danger of children riding a car?
Lin Jiasheng: Many children do not apply adult seat belts. Child safety seats are designed to fit one's own restraint system based on the child's physical development, such as height and weight. If a child directly uses an adult's seat belt, the adult seat belt may be able to hold his neck or ankle because the child is not tall enough. If a child safety seat is used, children of different ages can choose to use a child safety seat for their respective physiques to protect children with adult safety.
Morning News reporter: Will it be very dangerous to hold the baby in the car?
Lin Jiasheng: Yes, we have also done some related experimental research. If an adult is holding a baby, even if it is braking at a very low speed, for example, 15 or 20 kilometers per hour, there is no way to fully embrace it. If you live with a baby, you may get rid of the baby, causing the baby to hit the dashboard or the windshield, and even more serious may fly directly out of the car.
Morning News reporter: If the child safety seat is not properly installed, what kind of harm will it have?
Lin Jiasheng: If it is not installed correctly, the analogy is like the adult does not fasten the seat belt, or is not fully locked. The child safety seat may fly out of the car together with the child in the accident, or in the cabin. Hit another object, causing an additional collision damage.
Morning News reporter: What parts of the body are easily damaged if the child safety seat is not properly installed and used?
Lin Jiasheng: It is mainly the head and neck of children, because this part is relatively weak for them. Children under the age of 4, many parts of the body have not fully developed, and the child's body shape has a top-heavy character. In the event of a collision, it is likely that the head hits something first, causing serious injury, so Child seats are needed to protect their ride safety.
Morning News reporter: It is currently stipulated that children between 0 and 4 years old must be equipped with child safety seats. Do children who are 4 years old or older need to be configured?
Lin Jiasheng: In fact, for the larger children, including 6 years old, 10 years old, 12 years old, if their physique does not apply to the adult seat belts in the car, they also need to use a child safety seat to protect them. At present, the use of child safety seats is mainly based on age, including the national standard test requirements are also based on age, we do experiments from 0 to 18 months, then from 9 months to 3 years, then from 3 years old By the age of 6 years, in the stages from 6 to 10 years old. However, in actual life, due to the different growth and development of children, it may not be reasonable to divide by age. In the future development, height will be used to replace the age. At present, Europe has formulated new relevant regulations.
