How To Choose The Safety Seat

May 27, 2022

At present, the mainstream of safety seat certification, there are three kinds of China's 3C certification, ECE certification and the latest I-size certification.

3C certification: is issued by the General Administration of Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China and the national Certification and Accreditation Supervision and Management Commission mandatory certification management provisions, is the most basic quality certification (not quality mark)!

The latest standard of ECE (ECE R44) was passed and came into effect in September 1995. It is the Decree No. 44 issued by the Economic Commission for Europe on the certification of children's vehicle protection system. It mainly applies to baby cots, baby carriers and child safety seats, and child safety seats used in cars are also included in this certification.

European Standard ECE R129 (I-SIZE), "I-size" ECE R129 is the latest regulation of child member restraint system issued by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE R129) in 2013. It is a more stringent safety seat test based on the original standard ECE. It is intended to replace the old ECE R44.

To put it simply, it is the NATIONAL standard. ECE < I - size. I-size is the most strict safety seat test, but also provides basic protection for the baby, do not superstition old people said to hold the child with their hands, really encounter danger, the impact of the impact of a few hands and arms are not hold.

First look at the I-size certification, compared to ECE R44 standard is thinner, higher requirements, natural seat safety is also more guaranteed.

Speaking of this, I will say two more words, we choose the safety seat to see the I-size certification, but also pay attention to the next, there is a "false" I-size. How can I put it? For example, some safety seats are labeled as suitable for 0-7 year old babies. In fact, only 0-4 years old are certified, and 4-7 years old are not certified.

In addition to certification, few of us will pay attention to the material of the seat, especially the cushioning material. Its role is to prevent collision, energy absorption, but also affect the safety and comfort of child safety seats. Shock absorbing materials are mainly divided into the following three kinds:

EPP material: the cost is high. Most of this material is used in high-end brands, so the price will be higher

EPS: the overall cost performance is not bad, the shock absorption effect is not bad, but also the material that is currently used with a higher degree. In short, the quality is not done, and the price is not expensive

EPE: Pearl cotton, I suggest avoiding this material.
