Speaking of car seats, many parents' tangled emotions will be instantly aroused...
"Just take the car and hold the baby."
"The car drives so slowly, nothing will happen."
"The children are four or five years old and don't need to sit in a car seat"...
Are there still such voices around you? If so, be sure to refuse!
Do car seats have to sit?
The answer is: definitely, must, absolutely, to sit!
As for how important it is to sit in a car seat, Xiaobian feels the need to come up with a series of tragic cases and data to put the facts to reason.
Parents only need to know that in article 18 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors, which came into effect on June 1 this year, it is clearly stipulated that guardians should "take measures such as equipping child safety seats and educating minors to abide by traffic rules to prevent minors from being harmed by traffic accidents."
Looking at this initiative alone, it is enough to prove how important the car seat is, right?
According to the statistics of the Blue Book of Road Traffic Safety for Children in China, the following data shows:
Every year, there are more than 18,500 children under the age of 14 in China who are killed or injured due to traffic accidents;
Traffic accidents have become the fourth leading cause of death for children under the age of 14, with the absence of child safety seats as one of the biggest factors;
The use of child safety seats can reduce the car crash mortality rate for infants under 1 year old by 70% and the car accident mortality rate for children aged 1 to 4 years by 54% to 80%;
Infant mortality rates without child safety seats are 8 times higher than those installed, and injuries are 3 times higher.
The use of car seats is the most effective way to reduce the risk of children riding.
Many people say that I understand the reason, but as soon as I put the baby into the car seat, he cried, crying until it was dark and made me want to hit the wall, and there was no way to drive well, what should I do?
On this issue, Xiaobian combined his own experience to share a few tricks with you, but each child has a different personality, and the reasons for rejecting the car seat are also strange, and everyone can use it according to their own situation.
Parents set an example
Whether it is a driver or a "passenger", parents should develop a good habit of wearing seat belts on the car, so that the baby can see that there are safety measures on the adult's body, so that his acceptance of the car seat and the built-in seat belt will be higher, after all, the baby likes to imitate it.
On the other hand, if the parents' riding habits are not good, and no one in the whole car except the driver wears seat belts, then how can the baby be "tied up" at ease?
Adapt in advance
Early exposure to the car seat gives your baby a familiar feel to the mount and reduces repulsion.
Arrange a seat at birth and let the baby accept it directly, which is basically a European and American operation. Every day, you can let him sit in the car seat for a while, when the baby is basically used to this object, and then install the car seat on the car, so that the baby's acceptance will be much higher, and he will default to this as an object of his own.
Pay attention to comfort
Many car seats can not be adjusted without angle, and the fabric comfort is not good, which will bring an unpleasant experience to the baby on the road. Therefore, want to solve this problem, we in addition to the safety performance of the seat when purchasing, we must consider the comfort of the car seat, such as the multi-gear adjustment of the seat gear, so that you can adjust the appropriate sitting posture according to the baby's riding situation; in addition, like the seat 360 degree rotation, which not only increases the sense of parent-child interaction, but also provides a comfortable and convenient experience for parents; skin-friendly breathable fabric is also crucial, comparing the baby's delicate skin, pay more attention to these details. Only when the baby is comfortable sitting in it, it will be easier to accept.
Distraction
It is the nature of the baby to be active, and if he is fixed in the car seat for a long time, he will definitely feel disgusted, so we can prepare some toys suitable for playing in the car, picture books and so on for distraction. The stronger the baby's freshness of toys and picture books, the better the effect of distracting and calming emotions.
It should be noted that it is not recommended to directly show children electronic products such as mobile phones and iPads. Watching cartoons in the car is a bad habit.
Adjust the temperature in time
Sweating is another common reason why babies refuse to sit in the car seat - the child is young and sweaty, nestled in the car seat for a long time, and the back is not breathable, resulting in an increase in the body temperature, which will naturally make him feel uncomfortable. So you will find that the baby often sits for a while and starts to get irritable and wants to get out of the car seat. Therefore, it is important to adjust the temperature in the car in time, and you can also relax the built-in seat belt of the car seat appropriately under the premise of road conditions to ensure that the baby's back is dry and breathable. In addition, there are now some seats with intelligent ventilation functions on the market, such as the Globe Doll pictured below this Charlemagne, which is equipped with an air circulation breeze system, so parents do not have to worry about the hot baby sweating!
