Children's ride safety is above: gentle configuration

Child car safety has always been the focus of attention. In fact, careful automotive engineers have already been equipped with many devices for children's safety in cars after summarizing the causes of child casualties in traffic accidents in order to maximize safety for children.

Correct choice of child safety seat

Referring to the safety of children's travel, I believe many parents think of child safety seats first, but the use of child safety seats is also very particular.

For infants or toddlers, the safest way to ride is on a rear-facing infant seat or a large rear-facing child restraint. For children aged 3-10 years old, they should be replaced with forward-facing children's chairs. When older children cannot use children's chairs, they can choose child-safe seat cushions. After children are raised, they can use normal safety. band.

Some vehicles have also specially designed children's back cushions that are placed between the child's back and seats. Different types of pads are available for different ages. The child's head restraint cushion is also designed specifically for children to protect the child's relatively fragile head. Department mats.

In addition, for newborns, due to their small size, infant-type child safety seats are usually designed to be basket-type, also called safety baskets. This type of basket is suitable for infants weighing less than 15kg and less than 18 months of age.

Select child safety seat interface

With child safety seats, it is possible to reduce the damage to children in the car when the road traffic accident occurs to a certain extent, but the premise is that there must be a fixed child safety seat interface in the car.

At present, the child safety seats are mainly divided into the European standard ISOFIX, the American standard LATCH fixed and the seat belt fixed three fixed ways. The ISOFIX and LATCH have corresponding interfaces, and models equipped with the LATCH interface can be compatible with ISOFIX interface safety seats, so parents must be sure to match the car interface before buying a child safety seat.

Close rear electric window lock

In fact, in addition to opening the moving door, the child will also open the window. Once the child opens the window and leans out, it may happen.

Automakers have also taken this into account. The rear-mounted power windows can be closed at the driver's seat. This will prevent children sitting in the back of the car from accidentally opening the windows. As parents, just press the power window switch to close the function key of the rear window before driving. After the switch is closed, the rear power window will not open.

Anti-clamp electric window protection small hand

When the window is locked and the door is closed and the seat belt is tied up, the child sitting in the back row completely loses his freedom. In fact, under normal circumstances, if the child chair is tied, it is sufficient to lock the back door lock. The child can still open the door. The windows were air-permeable, so new problems came again, and what to do with electric window clamps.

Anti-clamp power windows are designed specifically for this situation. When this electric window rises, if it encounters resistance, it will stop rising and go down. It is said that some sensitive anti-pinch electric windows can be used to activate the anti-pinch function as long as they are lightly pressed to protect the child's tender hands.

Close the co-pilot airbag

In the process of driving, if you have to put your child in the front row, you must close the passenger airbag regardless of whether it is a safety seat. Although this function cannot be said to be only for children, it is safe for children sitting in the front row. Important.

In general, the co-pilot airbag switch is located on the side of the front passenger's glove box or inside the glove box. The switch needs to be closed using the car key. There is also a clear sign on the switch. The airbag must be closed when using the safety seat.

Intimate belt height adjustment and pre-tightening force limiting function

When a child needs to use a seat belt like an adult, the height-adjustable function of the seat belt in the vehicle can better match the child's body, and in the event of an accident, it can exert the restraint that the seat belt should have.

The pre-tightening function means that when a frontal collision accident occurs, the pre-tensioning device quickly tightens the seatbelt in order to predict the strong impact from the front, thereby improving the restraint effect on the occupant's body. The force limiting device can limit the force acting on the seat belt to a certain degree to alleviate the impact on the chest of the occupant, and is particularly effective for children and pregnant women.

Air purifier improves air quality in the car

In addition to the child safety configuration we can see on the car, there is still invisible. The quality of air quality in the car is not only important for adults, but also more important for sensitive children.

The air quality in the car is determined by two factors: one is the pollution of the vehicle itself, and the other is the air entering the car. The pollution of the vehicle itself is related to the technical level and production capacity of the enterprise, and to purify the air in the vehicle requires the vehicle's own purification equipment, such as activated carbon air-conditioning filter elements, negative ion generators and so on.

Of course, the safety awareness of parents and the correct use of safety devices are more important than child safety devices in front and back.

Open door safety lock

In recent years, cases of children falling from moving cars have occurred from time to time, so many cars are now equipped with child safety locks.

The child safety lock is provided to prevent the child from suddenly opening the door during driving. When the child lock is opened, the rear door can only be opened from the outside to prevent the child from inadvertently opening the door and causing danger. When a collision occurs while the door is locked, the child lock is automatically released.

The most effective way to prevent children from accidentally opening the door is to unlock the child safety lock. When the child is seated in the back of the vehicle, parents must turn on the child safety lock of the vehicle to ensure that the rear door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle, so as to avoid accidental operation of children and accidents.
