Comfortable for your baby - let your baby cooperate in the car seat

True but not enough. As a product to protect life, car seats for children must have the following 3 factors.

Safety structure of car seats

A structurally safe car seat means that it must have effective shock-resistant materials and also meet reputable safety standards.
Each manufacturer will use different types of shock resistant materials. The lines of European and American car seats often use solid, solid steel to make the seat frame, to help withstand the harshest impacts.

Solid steel frame - shock-resistant EggShock material

Japanese car seats use anti-shock material EggShock - special foam to help disperse and reduce the impact force extremely effectively.

 

This yellow EggShock material is usually fitted in the backrest, the protective rim and the seat part of the car seat.
These safety materials are the difference between prestigious car seats compared to other low-cost car seats - which only use ordinary materials, with poor impact resistance.

Besides the material, parents should also pay attention to the safety standards that car seats must comply with. This is the most important, most objective basis to make sure the car seat is really good. There are two strict, prestigious and prominent car seat standards currently, the EU's ECE R44 / 04 and the US FMVSS 213.

Car seats that meet these standards must all pass the toughest front, rear and side impact tests. You can find symbols and information about these two standards on the body of a car seat.

How to install the chair correctly

According to Forbes magazine, up to 95% of users make at least 1 mistake when installing car seats. And even if parents own a structurally safe car seat, if they are incorrectly installed, child protection will not be effective. Therefore, parents need to understand and know how to correctly install a chair.

The first rule is that the direction of the chair will depend on the baby's age and weight. For children under 1 year old (under 10kg) parents always install the seat in the opposite direction of the driver. For children over 1 year old (over 10kg), parents install the seat in the same direction as the driver.

The second rule is not to twist the seat belt when fitting a car seat. Because if you twist the rope, the ability to hold the seat will be significantly reduced and it will be extremely dangerous when an accident occurs.

The third rule is to follow the color instructions sequentially. On the car seat, there will be wiring positions marked in blue (how to install for babies under 1 year old), red (how to install for babies over 1 year old). When parents install chairs, it is necessary to follow the correct green - green, or red - red flow to ensure correct installation.

The fourth rule is that the final check should never be skipped. After the installation is complete, parents need to use the handles on the seat base to shake to see if it is loose, shaking or not. At the same time, use the ruler to check if the back of the chair is comfortable.

Seat recline is the angle of the seat tilt to the car cushion plane. Incorrect tilt / recline angle will cause the seat position to be wrong, the seat is not anchored firmly when a collision occurs.

At the same time, the inappropriate recline also makes the baby uncomfortable sitting. Depending on how you fit your baby under 1 year old or over 1 year old to have the right recline.

Up to 99% of parents skip this test or install a chair with the wrong recline. For the convenience of parents, some car seat manufacturers have a Dual Ride Right smart reclining ruler that runs on a water balloon right on the car or a ruler already outlined in the User's Guide.

Comfortable for your baby - let your baby cooperate in the car seat

Parents have a standard car seat, the right way to install it, but what if the baby refuses to sit in the car seat?
One of the reasons why your baby refuses to sit is because some car seats are not really comfortable for them. The seats are too tight and rough, making children feel uncomfortable.

There are even some cheap car seats with too thin cushion design, the hard seat frame "hurts" the baby, especially when braking or colliding.

Therefore, parents should pay attention to choosing car seats with soft, smooth cushion, thickness and ventilation suitable for children.
With convertible seats used in the 0-4 / 0-7 years old, parents should also pay attention to the ability to adjust the reclining of the chair so that the baby can lie / sit more comfortably.
