How old should a child be to use a child safety seat? What age of child is a child safety seat suitable for?

What is the average age for children to use a safety seat?

Different countries have different regulations on how old babies can use safety seats. Some countries stipulate that they are based on age, while others stipulate that they are based on the weight and height of the baby. Foreign countries such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea have strict regulations that babies under 12 years old must use safety seats to fix their positions. Generally, babies weighing less than 36 kilograms must use safety seats.

China has not yet enacted laws to enforce the use of safety seats. The age at which a baby needs to use a safety seat can only be determined by referring to the standards of other countries. According to the physical characteristics of Chinese children, a baby who is 10 years old and weighs less than 36 kg should use a safety seat. Conversely, a baby who is 5 years old and weighs more than 36 kg (except for obese children) does not need to use a safety seat.

It is understood that in my country, parents generally use car safety seats when their babies are between 9 months and 4 years old. Due to the influence of seat design and the growth and willingness of children, many seats are no longer useful before they are used for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to consider adjustable and cost-effective safety seats when choosing seats. Don't blindly pursue expensive brands. The most important thing is that the baby sits safely and comfortably. However, you can't buy seats with too large a span. Some safety seats can be used from 9 months to 12 years old. Although it seems cost-effective, it is not good for the safety of the baby. It should be noted that the safety seat should also be replaced in time according to the age and degree of wear.

Child seats are divided into 4 age groups according to age:

A child car safety seat is a seat that is fastened to a car seat for children to sit on. It has restraint equipment and can restrain children to ensure their safety in the event of a car accident. It is a completely wrong idea to think that seat belts, airbags, and adults can protect children in dangerous moments! The use of child safety seats is very necessary and important. Seat belts, airbags, and adults cannot replace their roles. Parents and car owners are especially reminded to pay great attention to driving safety and try to avoid emergencies!

What to do if your baby refuses to sit in a child safety seat

For the safety of babies, parents must equip them with safety seats. However, babies are active by nature and do not like to be restrained, so they often refuse to sit in child seats. How can you make babies sit in safety seats obediently?

Tip 1: Let the baby make friends with the safety seat first

Some babies resist safety seats, and one of the main reasons is that they are not familiar with them. They even think that they are scary and will be tied up and will lose their mother's hug. Therefore, the first thing parents should do is to make the baby and the safety seat become friends. You can take the baby with you to choose a safety seat, and treat it as a new toy for the child after buying it. You should emphasize that this is a special seat for the baby and let the baby adapt for a while.

Tip 2: Always sit in a safety seat every time you get in the car

If a baby cries while sitting in a safety seat, parents may feel distressed and let the baby go and then hold the baby in their arms. In fact, this is not conducive to the baby's adaptation to the safety seat. Parents should let the baby know that he cannot ride in the car without this seat, and let him understand this principle step by step. If the baby really does not want to sit in the safety seat, then you can consider not driving the car first. In short, the baby must sit in the safety seat as soon as he gets in the car.

Tip 3: Divert the baby’s attention

In fact, many parents use the trick of diverting attention. Some tell stories and sing nursery rhymes to babies, and some play games with babies. The purpose is to divert children's attention, and the effect is also good. It should be noted that the method used to divert attention is very important. If the method is not good, it may encourage the baby's bad habits.
