Each parent thinks about the safety of children in cars. Even with the observance of traffic rules, no one is safe from such troubles on the road as dipped lights, potholes, irresponsible motorists. It is important to realize that it is in our power to minimize troubles.
Alternative a
a child restraint may become a seat. There are his fans and those who do not like it. Let's see what this system is. This is a set of flexible elements or straps with buckles, fasteners, adjusting devices. By the way, in some cases, an addition is provided in the form of a cradle or a removable chair, seat and / or a special screen (shockproof). In other words, the child restraint is designed to protect against sudden braking or in a collision, to reduce the likelihood of injury to the child, limiting the mobility of his body.
Advantages of such a device
1. It is worth noting the attractive price of the device: it is cheaper than a child seat.
2. Another plus is transportability. Baby hold
The unit is able to fit even in a
handbag; it also weighs a little. This is especially true when using a taxi, it is often not known whether there is a chair in it for transporting a child.
3. From the point of view of psychology, children from two years old do not like to sit on a high car seat, propping up the back of the front seats with their feet, they want to sit like adults! And "relocated" even temporarily, the child is proud. This disciplines children, which plays a big role when traveling.
If you have a child, and the car does not have a special chair for transporting it, then you should purchase a child restraint. Unfortunately, you can often watch how kids in cars ride, sitting in the arms of adults. It is very dangerous. We must remember: with sudden braking, when the speed is 50 km / h, the weight of the kids grows 30 times.
For example, if
the baby weighs 10 kg, then upon impact its mass will be approximately 300 kg, at such a moment it is impossible to protect him from injury from the seat, the windshield. Also, an adult is able to crush a baby with his weight. All this is sad, and regular belts are not suitable for safety, they are designed for passengers from 1.5 m tall. If you fasten the child with them, the diagonal part of the belts falls into the head or neck, during braking this can lead to serious injuries. It is necessary to adapt the standard belts to the parameters of your child.
