The balance car has another accident!
Some time ago, the State Administration of Quality Supervision announced that a batch of balance vehicles were unqualified for sampling.
Nearly 200,000 children's balance bikes have even been recalled, including even well-known big names.
These mainly include the following brands:
1. Loftstar (Beijing) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. recalled some PUKY brand children's scooters, involving 79,350 vehicles.

You can check your child's balance car, if it is really a brand and model that needs to be recalled, you can contact the telephone after-sales or Taobao customer service to deal with it.
The bacteria carefully read the documents, and the reasons for the recall given by the Quality Supervision Bureau were:
Due to unreasonable dangers such as the length of the seatpost, the sharp edges of the children's reachable parts, and the lack of safety warning signs, it may lead to safety risks such as falling, scratching, misuse and abuse by consumers, and may not be able to brake effectively in time in extreme cases such as complex road conditions and riding speed, which may not be able to brake effectively in time, causing unforeseen harm to children.
In the report, some of the parents may not be easy to understand under a cursory look, and the bacteria come to explain to you:
The seatpost is too long
This means that the original size of the balance car, the child can not ride on the ground with both feet.
If this situation is found in time, it can be returned and replaced, but if it is not found and allowed to be used by the child, it may cause the child to find it difficult to maintain balance and there is a danger.
Sharp edges are present in the reachable areas of children
This means that children can easily get scratched during use or be stabbed by sharp edges when the balance bike falls to the ground.
Security warning signs are missing
The absence of a logo doesn't seem like a big problem. But you know, the balance car can not be used in some scenarios, such as the road.
Safety warning signs are meant to remind parents of these dangerous situations, and if there is no sign, parents are likely to let their children use balance bikes in dangerous situations because they do not know, causing unknown dangers.
In fact, this is not the first time that a balance car has had an accident.
In 2020, CCTV exposed that the balance car had problems such as plasticizer exceeding the standard, lead exceeding the standard, and chromium exceeding the standard, and there were many familiar brands among the brands that were exposed at that time.

A balance car with repeated accidents
Can I still play with my kids?
Let's start with the conclusion:
In the case of ensuring safety, the balance car is still recommended for children to play, because the balance car is really good for children.
The way the balance car moves is mainly based on the child's leg pedaling to drive the body forward.
This method can well exercise the child's torso core strength, hand-eye coordination, balance ability and other aspects of motor ability.
Moreover, because the shape and riding style of the balance bike are very similar to bicycles, when the child learns to ride the balance bike, he can directly transition to a two-wheeled bicycle after installing a foot pedal.
However, it should be noted that if the balance car is purchased or used improperly, it is also quite risky for children.
These parents must pay attention to:
◆ Plasticizer exceeds the standard:
Plasticizers are Class 2B carcinogens recognized by the World Health Organization and are reproductively toxic to humans.
It may cause symptoms such as infertility, and the health effects include but are not limited to: abnormal organ development, precocious puberty, obesity, etc.
◆ Unreasonable design:
Some children's balance bikes have activity gaps that do not meet national standards, which is prone to the risk of children's finger squeezing and cutting.
Of course, as long as we parents master a certain knowledge of balance car selection, we will help children use balance car safely.
