At What Age Can Children Use Safety Seats?

[HenryRose]

Children over six months old and under eight years old can use child safety seats. For infants under six months, their bone development is not yet complete, and their back muscles lack the strength to support them, making it unsafe to use safety seats at this stage. The age until which children should use safety seats is determined by the traffic regulations of each country—some specify by age, while others by the child's weight. Safety seat usage precautions: 1. Child safety seats should not be installed in the front passenger seat with an airbag, as the immense force from the airbag deployment can cause fatal injuries to the child; 2. When securing a child safety seat with the vehicle's seatbelt, ensure the belt is retracted to a tight state after installation to keep the seat stable; 3. Minimize the frequency of washing the seat cover, as some covers are made of flame-retardant materials, and frequent washing may weaken their flame-retardant properties.
