How many months can a baby use a baby chair? How to install a baby safety chair

If you want to take your baby out, it is best not to hold the baby in your arms when driving. The safest way is to let the child make a child safety seat by himself. So at what age can a baby use a baby seat? How to install a baby safety seat?

Child safety seats can effectively improve children's safety and avoid accidents by restraining them in safety seats according to their weight and age. But how many months can babies sit in safety seats? From the perspective of the growth process of babies, they start to learn how to sit at six months. Therefore, babies can only sit in safety seats after they have learned to sit, which means at least six months later.

How many months can a baby sit in a safety seat

In an era when cars are becoming increasingly popular, it is necessary for families with babies to buy child safety seats. So, at what age can babies sit in safety seats? There is an old saying that babies can sit up at the seventh month and crawl at the eighth month, which means that babies can generally sit up at the seventh month, and can crawl at the eighth month and then slowly transition to walking. Babies under 6 months old have far from perfect bone development and their back muscle support is also very weak, so do not let babies sit in safety seats at this time. Therefore, babies can only sit in safety seats after at least six months.

Although babies can only sit in safety seats after six months, there are many types of safety seats. When babies cannot sit, they can choose lying safety seats. Faced with many safety seat options, we should pay attention to choosing according to the specific age and weight of the baby. Babies under one year old and weighing less than 10 kilograms should choose cradle-type rear-facing child safety seats; children aged one to three years old weighing 10-20 kilograms should choose fully covered safety seats; children aged three to ten years old weighing 15 to 36 kilograms should choose covered safety seats.

Different safety seats are used for babies of different ages, making it safer and more comfortable for babies to ride in the car, and parents can feel more at ease. Remember, babies can only sit in safety seats after six months!

What to do if your baby doesn't want to sit in a safety seat

Now more and more parents begin to pay attention to their baby's driving safety and install safety seats for their babies. However, a large number of parents will compromise and take their babies out of the safety seats because their babies resist them.

However, you may not know that if a car traveling at 48km/h brakes suddenly or collides, a 9kg baby in the mother's arms can instantly generate a 275kg impact force, and the baby will rush out of the mother's arms like a bullet!!!

"Don't ever think that just putting a seat belt on your baby is enough. Seat belts are designed according to the height of an adult and can get stuck on the baby's neck in an accident, which can be even more dangerous.

Don’t mistake airbags for protecting children. In fact, airbags are designed for adults. For children of short stature, the huge impact force will directly act on the child’s head, causing serious injuries to the child. Therefore, children must sit in the back seat.

We all know the importance of safety seats, but the naughty child just doesn't want to sit in them. What can we do?

First, we need to analyze the reasons why babies don’t want to sit in safety seats, and then solve them one by one.

Reason 1: The environment in the car makes the baby feel uncomfortable

Tips: Open the windows appropriately to keep the air in the car fresh. Avoid smoking in the car or carrying food with strong odors. Babies are more susceptible to heat than adults because they have a fast metabolism and generate more heat. In addition, they will feel hot and uncomfortable when sitting in a safety seat. Parents can use the air conditioner to adjust the temperature in the car to a comfortable temperature for the baby before bringing the baby into the car.

Reason 2: The baby is sitting in the back seat and cannot see the parents

Tips: Install the safety seat in the middle of the back seat (recommended, this position can reduce the chance of the child being injured in a car crash), or on the right side of the back seat. Both positions make it easier for the baby to see the father or mother driving, and stabilize the baby's emotions when sitting alone in the back.

Reason three: Boredom. Boredom. A naturally active baby is restrained in a safety seat. No one can stand the lifeless seat back. If you don't believe me, parents, try it. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Tips: Prepare a few toys that your child often plays with, and prepare some snacks. Having toys and snacks does not mean that everything is fine, and many children will still cry. Ask parents to put down their mobile phones, chat with the baby, sing, play games, and turn the boring journey into a wonderful parent-child time. At the same time, I used movable wall stickers to decorate the back of the chair in front of Pudding's seat into an "ocean world", which can also make Pudding quiet for a while and carefully observe the cute little fish, shells, and starfish in the sea. Mothers can also be lazy occasionally. Yeah~

The most convenient way is to set out according to your child's schedule and when he is close to bedtime. The vibration generated while driving has a good hypnotic effect on the baby.

Reason 4: Baby gets carsick

Tips: A large part of the reason why babies get carsick is due to insufficient vestibular stimulation. In addition to babies, carsickness is more common in children aged 2-12. Parents can guide their babies to do some activities that stimulate vestibular sense, such as holding the baby and shaking, turning in circles (not too much to avoid damaging the baby's brain), sitting on a swing, etc.

How to install a child safety chair

Seat belt front fixing method (child facing the cab)

There are 5 steps to fix the front child safety seat, which is relatively simple to operate. Please see below.

When the seat belt is stretched to a long length, it is easy to get stuck when it is stretched again, so try to pull it out as much as possible at the beginning. This will facilitate the work and avoid the need for re-operation due to insufficient length or jamming.

After confirming that the seat belt buckle is inserted into the interface, we need to check the red fixing clip on the back of the child safety seat. This function is used to fix the seat belt to prevent it from sliding and failing to fix the seat.

Seat belt reverse fixing method (child facing the rear of the vehicle)

The reverse side refers to the child safety seat facing the rear of the car. Because the load force generated by the reverse side has less effect on the child's neck, the reverse side of the child safety seat is more suitable for younger children. Relatively speaking, the space for children to sit will also be reduced; when choosing the front and back sides, the child's age should be the decision. (The reverse installation in the figure below is referred to as reverse installation)

To install it from the reverse side, you need to pull out all the seat belts and secure them somehow, otherwise the seat belts will return to their original position or get stuck, and you will not be able to install it further. Therefore, you need to pull out all the seat belts again, which is a waste of time.

After looking at the picture above and then the picture below, everyone is a little confused. Are there two seat belts fixed? In fact, the same seat belt is used here. First, the seat belt is passed through the back of the child safety seat, and then passed under the child seat as shown in the picture below. Visually, there are two seat belts. In fact, the seat belt is just fixed in an A-type manner around the child safety seat.

It is time-consuming and laborious to install the baby on the reverse side, but for young babies, it is the best way to protect the baby. When you think of this, parents probably won't have too many complaints, right?

Finally, we still need to swing the child seat left and right to reduce the empty space. This step is a means of inspection to reduce accidents or displacement of the safety seat during braking.
