In life, many parents think it's convenient to take their baby in the front seat, but do you know? In fact, children can't sit in the front seat, which has great security risks.
On February 28, a 1-year-old child sat on the copilot in Beijing. As a result, the car was rear ended. Although the speed was only over 30 miles, the air bag came out, knocking the child's head. The child was injured and comatose, and his heart stopped suddenly!
In life, many people take their children to the car, not only do not use the child safety seat, but also often hold the child to sit in the front seat. If there is a traffic accident, the child is likely to be the most direct victim.
Children under 12 can't take the copilot
Every year, more than 18500 children under the age of 14 die in traffic accidents in China, many of which are caused by children sitting in the passenger seat.
What's the harm of the passenger seat?
Harm one:
If the child is sitting in the copilot's seat, when the air bag is opened, the child will be stunned instantly.
Hazard two:
The child sits in the front seat, which is what happens when the car hits
In addition, seat belts are designed for adults and are not suitable for children. If it is used for the baby, the safety belt may be stuck on the baby's neck, which is more harmful to the baby in case of an accident.
Hazard three:
Children are active and seriously disturb the driver's attention. Every parent loves their children, but tragedies happen all the time. The reason is that the parents don't realize that the copilot is very dangerous.
Children under 12 should not be held in the back row
Children's safety seat must be used. How harmful is not using safety seat?
Therefore, parents must bear in mind: take the children by car, the following mistakes must not be made!
Myth 1: let children stay in the car alone
There are often parents who go shopping and leave their children in the car after temporary parking. They think they'll be back in a few minutes and nothing will happen. However, a few minutes is enough to give lawbreakers a chance to commit car theft or even child abduction. Changchun once had a car theft and infanticide case, the suspect is using the parents to leave the vehicle for a short time to commit the crime!
In the hot summer, the temperature in the car with closed windows will suddenly rise, leaving the children alone in the car is more likely to be dangerous.
Reminder: no matter how long you have left, as long as you get off, you must take your child with you, and remember to lock the car.
Mistake 2: let children take the co pilot
Some parents drive their children by themselves and think that it is convenient for them to take care of them by sitting in the passenger seat. However, the danger is that in case of an accident, the co driver's air bag will pop up in a flash, and it will become a 'fatal air bag' for young children!
Warning: children under 14 years old, or children with thin materials, should not sit in the co driver's seat, and use the child safety seat to fix the children in the rear seat.
Mistake 3: do not open children's safety lock when driving with children
Children are active and have strong imitation ability. They know how to open the door at a young age. If they accidentally touch the door switch during driving, they are likely to open the door and fall out of the car.
Reminder: today's cars are basically equipped with children's safety locks at the back door. When children sit in the back row, they must be opened to ensure that the door cannot be opened from the inside of the car, so as to avoid accidents caused by children's misoperation.
Mistake 4: take a bus with children in your arms
Many parents think that their arms are the safest "harbor" for their children, so they like to ride with their children in their arms. However, when an accident occurs, the impact force of emergency braking or collision is far beyond the ability of any adult:
Reminder: children must use safety seat to fix it in the back row when riding!
Mistake 5: let children use seat belts
Car safety belts are designed according to the height and weight of adults. Children are short. When they use the safety belts, they just bypass the neck. When they suddenly brake or collide, the children rush forward because of inertia. Instead, the safety belts become 'throat cutting tools'!
Reminder: for children whose height is no longer applicable to the safety seat, but who are unable to use the safety belt, they should be equipped with a raised cushion before using the safety belt.
Mistake 6: neglecting children's active performance in the car
Curiosity, mischief and playfulness are children's nature. When children are driving, driven by curiosity, they will touch the buttons or devices in the car at will, resulting in frequent accidents. Therefore, parents must play the spirit of 12 points.
Remind: parents should take the initiative to educate and guide their children, instill them with safety awareness, tell them the functions of various buttons, and teach them that it is wrong and dangerous to move these buttons at will.
