Fear that your child will not be able to sit still or cry
Have you ever held a child directly?
What is your experience with a vehicle?
Caused by irregular riding in life
Child casualties occur from time to time
Don't let the tragedy tell you
How important a child safety seat is!
In 2021, there was an accident in Chaozhou where the vehicle rushed to the flower garden on the right side of the road and hit the street light due to improper operation of the car. The accident caused injuries to the driver and occupants of the car, and damage to the street lights, flower beds and other facilities there. Among them, an infant in the car died due to a violent impact due to improper use of a child safety seat.
Misunderstandings about children's rides
Myth 1: It is safe for adults to hold their children in the car
Myth 2: Adult seat belts can protect children
❌❌❌
This misconception
It is the biggest hidden danger to children's car safety
According to statistics, more than 18,000 children under the age of 14 are injured or killed in traffic accidents in mainland China every year.
Here are three sets of experiments to tell you
How harmful is it for children to ride in a car!
Experiment 1
When a car is involved in an accident at a speed of 30-50 kilometers per hour, a child weighing 10 kilograms will produce an impact force of 300-500 kilograms under the action of inertia.
The child rushed out like a bullet, imagine that at this moment, if the child is sitting in the arms of an adult, how can the adult's arms restrict the child's movement?
Experiment 2
Since the child's body proportions, height and weight are very different from those of adults, and the chest bones are not mature, let the child use the adult seat belt directly, and the seat belt will get stuck on the child's neck and face.
In the event of a vehicle collision, the seat belt can cause unnecessary damage to the child's ribcage and neck.
Similarly, airbags are designed for adults, and the height at which the airbag is deployed when the same sitting position is taken, usually just above the child's head.
Experiment three
The airbag can be deployed at speeds of up to 300 km/h
The instantaneous impact force can reach 2000N
This force hits the child head-on
It is easy to cause misalignment of the head and neck
Or even death
