For many families, they will install the baby safety seat in the car for children to use. How about the baby who can sit in the safety seat for a few months? In the era of increasingly popular cars, it is necessary for families with babies to buy the baby safety seat. So, how many months can a baby sit in a safety seat?
There is an old saying that seven sit and eight climb, that is to say, the baby can only really sit up at the seventh month, and can only crawl at the eighth month to slowly transition to walking. For babies less than 6 months old, the bone development is far from perfect, and the back muscle support is also very small, so do not let the baby sit in the safety seat at this time. Therefore, at least six months later, the baby can sit in the safety seat.
Although the baby can only sit in the safety seat after six months, there are many types of safety seats. When the baby can't sit, he can choose to lie in the safety seat. In the face of many safety seat choices, we should pay attention to the specific age and weight of the baby. For infants under one year old and weighing less than 10 kg, the cradle type rear facing child safety seat should be selected; for children between one and three years old and weighing 10-20 kg, the fully wrapped safety seat should be selected; for children between three and ten years old and weighing 15 kg to 36 kg, the wrapped safety seat should be selected.
Different age groups of infants use different safety seats, which makes infants safer and more comfortable to ride, and parents more at ease. Remember, the baby can't sit in the safety seat until six months later!
What to do if the baby refuses to sit in the child safety seat
For the sake of baby's safety, parents must be equipped with safety seats, but the baby is not like to be bound because of its nature, and often refuses to sit in children's seats. How to make the baby sit in the safety seat?
1. The baby first makes friends with the safety seat
Some babies conflict with the safety seat, a big reason is that they are not familiar with the safety seat, and even think this thing is terrible. They will be bound and lose their mother's hug. Therefore, the first thing parents should do is to make the baby and the safety seat become friends. They can take the baby to choose the safety seat together, and then they can buy it as a new toy for the baby, and emphasize that it is the baby's exclusive chair, so that the baby can adapt to it for a period of time.
2. Always take the safety seat when getting on the train
If the baby cries in the safety seat, will the parents release the baby and hold it in their arms? In fact, this is not conducive to the baby's adaptation to the safety seat. Parents should make babies understand that they can't ride a car without making this chair, and let them understand this step by step. If the baby really does not want to sit in the safety seat, then you can consider not driving first, in short, you must sit in the safety seat as soon as you get on the car.
3. Distract the baby
In fact, many parents will use the method of distraction, some telling stories and singing nursery rhymes to babies, some playing games with babies, the purpose of which is to divert children's attention, and the effect is good. It should be noted that the method used for attention diversion is very important. If the method is not good, it may contribute to the bad habits of the baby.
The function of children's safety seat
The collision force in high-speed driving is unbearable, many people are used to holding their baby with both hands to go out in the car, thinking that this is the best protection for the baby; however, according to the actual research, when a 10kg child encounters a frontal impact in a 50km / h car, because of the inertia, it will produce a 300kg impact force in an instant. In this case, no adult has the strength to hold the child, and the child will fly out like a bullet.
Safety measures such as seat belts and airbags are designed according to the size and weight of adults. Because children's bones are immature and their height and body shape are not yet sound, if the car safety belt is used directly, when the car collides, the safety belt that straddles the body obliquely may cause children's chest rib fracture, suffocation or even fracture of neck bone.
Airbags can be a lifesaver for adults at a critical time, but for children it becomes a 'killer'. When a car collides, the impact force produced by the instant opening of the air bag is like a heavy fist hit head-on, which is likely to cause the risk of suffocation or neck fracture of infants and children.
1. First of all, when the vehicle is in emergency braking, the child safety seat shall be able to effectively organize the baby's body to accelerate forward to avoid continuous collision, and the safety seat shall be firmly fixed to avoid loosening; when the vehicle is in collision, the back side wing and head side wing of the safety seat shall be able to protect the baby's torso and head, etc. Child safety in case of rear impact
2. The seat should be able to support the child's trunk and head, so as to avoid the damage caused by the too fast speed which causes the baby's neck to accelerate backward movement.
3. If the vehicle rolls over carelessly, the stability of the safety seat must be better, and it must not be displaced or fall off. If it is loose, it will cause great damage to the baby.
4. When the baby sleeps, the side wing of the safety seat should be enough to protect the child from skewing when sleeping, so as to avoid any injury in case of any accident.
How to choose the safety seat
The baby just born should choose the basket type safety seat, which is specially designed for the baby aged 0 to 1 or weighing less than 10kg. In this period, the baby's skull, cervical vertebra and abdomen are very fragile, especially the baby's respiratory function needs to be protected. During the installation, the basket type safety seat must be installed backward, because the baby's head weight is connected Nearly 50% of the body weight can reduce the force on the baby's neck when the vehicle is braked in an emergency through the reverse installation with the driving direction of the car.
1. Children aged 1 to 3 years old shall use standard safety seats for back-to-back installation. The safety seats shall face the rear of the vehicle and be placed on the rear seats of the vehicle. The back of the front seats of the vehicle shall be used as the support of the rear of the safety seats.
2. At the age of 6, children should use standard safety seats for forward installation. Generally speaking, five-point safety seats are the simplest and most suitable for children of this age.
3. Children aged 6 to 12 should use booster seat or booster pad together with adult safety belt to ensure the safety of riding.
