Until What Age Should Children Use Car Safety Seats?

[CarmenFitz]

Children should use car safety seats until the age of 4. The specific details are as follows: 1. According to relevant regulations: Children under 4 years old must use child safety seats, while children under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. 2. The role of safety seats: Installing a child safety seat is essentially a restraint device for children, equivalent to the role of an adult wearing a seat belt. The four stages of the child restraint system are as follows: 1. First stage: (Rear-facing child safety seat) Infants aged 1 year and under (weight 0-13 kg) should use a rear-facing child car safety seat. 2. Second stage: (Forward-facing child safety seat) Children aged 1-4 years (weight 9-18 kg) should switch to a forward-facing child safety seat. 3. Third stage: (High-back or backless booster seat) Children aged 4-12 years (weight 15-36 kg, height under 145 cm) need to use a booster seat. 4. Fourth stage: (Adult seat belt) Children over 12 years old (weight over 36 kg, height 145 cm and above) should use an adult seat belt.
