Is It Dangerous to Remove the Car Seat Stopper?
2 Answers
Removing the car seat stopper is dangerous. Here are the specific details about the stopper: 1. Function: The car door stopper is designed to limit the degree to which the door can open. On one hand, it restricts the maximum opening angle of the door to prevent the door panel from hitting the car body when opened too wide. On the other hand, it can keep the door at a certain opening angle when needed. 2. Symptoms of Damage: Abnormal sensations can be felt when opening or closing the door if the stopper is damaged. If the door opens too wide or automatically closes, it may indicate that the door stopper is aging and its limiting effect is weakening. Unusual noises are also a sign of a damaged door stopper. Without proper lubrication over time, the door stopper is prone to wear and metal fatigue.
Removing the seat limiter from car seats is indeed dangerous. I believe this device is designed to secure the seat position, especially for child safety seats. Once when I was driving, a friend had removed it, and during a sudden brake, the seat shook violently, nearly causing injury to the child. The limiter is engineered to absorb impact and prevent excessive seat movement or tilting in accidents. Without it, the cushioning effect is lost, not only reducing overall safety but also potentially exposing the child to additional risks, such as increased head impact in a crash. It's advisable not to make arbitrary modifications, to follow the manufacturer's instructions, and to regularly inspect key components. Safety accessories should not be compromised—if damaged, replace them with new ones.
