How to buy a car seat
May 27, 2022
There are several hard and fast requirements to purchase a car seat:
1. The bottom line
Be sure to buy a car seat with a 3C logo that meets national standards. If it is a legal imported product, even if there are other overseas certification, it will also carry China's 3C mark.
2. Protection
Usually said safety seat actually includes safety basket, five-point safety seat, elevating seat, and convertible all-in-one all-age seat four types. According to height and weight, they are divided into four groups: 0, 1, 2 and 3. Different division method specific upper and lower limits may be different, but parents must pay attention to whether you see a seat in line with the actual development of the child.
Children under the age of 12, under 145cm tall and weighing less than 36kg need to ride in a car seat. For young children who can still use a basket, the UN recommends that the time spent riding backwards be extended for maximum protection.
3. High-end standards
For example, ECER129 and ECER44 of the European Union, and ADAC rating of all German automobile clubs, which is the most stringent in the world, etc.
4. Combination mode:
At present, the common weight grouping methods at home and abroad are: weight less than 10kg, less than 13kg, 9kg-18kg, 15kg-25kg and 22/25kg-36kg, corresponding to the age of less than 13 months, less than 15 months, 9 months with 4 years old, 3 to 7 years old, and 6 to 12 years old.
In practice, with the exception of the first two rearward-riding groups, which are usually separate, the other groups can be combined in the same seat.
Therefore, if you want to exchange the minimum investment for the maximum protection of full-age bus, the industry believes that the most classic and cost-effective combination is to buy a 0 or 0+ group newborn basket, and when the reverse ride limit is exceeded, change into 1+2+3 group convertible safety seat.
In short, there are now a variety of child safety seats with mature technologies, ranging from basic to high-end, just like buying a car. Parents should not assume that children must not like, many seats have side buffer, support legs, 360 degree rotation, large elevation Angle, fulcrum links, breathable back and other multiple humanized design, sit up comfortably and have a sense of security.
