It's cold, take the baby out
I believe that many parents will use down jackets
Wrap the baby tightly
If you want to take a car
Naturally, too
Directly put the child wearing a down jacket
Insert the car seat and fasten the seat belt
Think it's warm and safe
As everyone knows, it has buried a safety hazard
Experts from the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention remind parents that wearing down jackets will greatly affect the fixation of children in child car seats, and when a collision occurs, children can easily fly out of the seat, causing unpredictable injuries.
Why wear a down jacket
Would there be such serious consequences?
Reason 1:
Children wear down jackets and sit in child car seats, and the air in the down jacket is constantly squeezed due to bumps in the vehicle during driving, and the down jacket is getting thinner and thinner. The original filled space is released in an instant, and the seat belt on the car seat will suddenly loosen, resulting in the inability to securely hold the child in place.
Reason 2:
The surface of the down jacket is mostly made of smooth fabric, resulting in a lack of sufficient friction in the seat belt to hold the child in place.
Use of child car seats
Correct "Open With"
The correct approach is to first take off the child's down jacket, and then fix the child wearing a close-fitting single suit on the child car seat, check whether it is fixed according to the correct method, and finally put the down jacket on its body, which is both safe and warm.
In addition to wearing a down jacket
Use of child car seats
These actions are also not advisable:
When it is cold, some parents are worried that their children are cold in the child car seat, and they put blankets or padding on the back or under the child. This is also dangerous practice!
In the event of a vehicle collision, these items are compressed, causing the seat belt to become loose and making the child car seat less protective. Similarly, it is advisable to cover a blanket or clothing on a child already secured in a child car seat.
When using child car seats, only objects that have been approved by the child safety seat manufacturer or that are produced by the child car seat manufacturing company for specific models of child car seats are acceptable, for example, some seat manufacturers allow the use of rolled towels or blankets at the child's crotch belt to improve comfort.
In addition, no children's toy pendants can be placed on the child car seat. In the event of a vehicle collision, these pendants pose an unpredictable danger to children and can only be used with the approval and certification of the child car seat manufacturer.
Safety is no small matter
On the safety of your child
Even if there is only a 0.01% probability of danger
Parents should also make 100% efforts to avoid it
I hope everyone can go out happily
Return safely.~
