Is it necessary to buy a safety seat for babies?

It is necessary to buy a safety seat for babies because the seat belts in the car are specifically designed for adults and are only suitable for people over 145 cm tall. Below are the four stages of correct use of the child restraint system: 1. First stage (rear-facing child safety seat): Infants and children aged 1 year and under (weighing 0-13 kg) should use a rear-facing child car safety seat. This seat has multiple layers of protection, including a backrest, cushion, and neck safety pillow, which maximizes the absorption of impact force. 2. Second stage (forward-facing child safety seat): Children aged 1-4 years (weighing 9-18 kg) should switch to a forward-facing child seat, and the harness inside the seat needs to properly restrain the child. 3. Third stage (high-back or backless booster seat): Children aged 4-12 years (weighing 15-36 kg, under 145 cm tall) should use a booster seat, ensuring that the shoulder belt of the seat belt rests on the child's shoulder and the lap belt is on the child's hips. 4. Fourth stage (adult seat belt): Children aged 12 and above (weighing over 36 kg, 145 cm and taller) should use the adult seat belt, ensuring that the belt's position is on the child's shoulder and hips. The child should sit with their back against the seat, feet flat on the floor, and maintain this posture throughout the journey.
