What is a Child Safety Seat?

[June]

Child safety seat is a specially designed seat for children of different weights (or age groups), which secures the child in the seat and effectively improves the safety of children during car rides. Below is additional information about child safety seats: 1. The European mandatory standard ECE-R44/03 defines it as: a child safety protection system that can be fixed to a motor vehicle, consisting of ISOFIX interfaces, LATCH interfaces, seat belt components or flexible parts, adjustment mechanisms, and accessories. In the event of a car collision or sudden deceleration, it can reduce the impact force on children and limit their body movement, thereby minimizing injuries. 2. Safety measures in cars, such as seat belts and airbags, are almost entirely designed based on the size and weight of adults. If a child wears a seat belt and sits in the front seat, due to the differences in size and weight between children and adults, using safety facilities designed for adults not only fails to reduce injuries but may instead increase the harm to children.
