What is the age range for car safety seats?
1 Answers
China has not yet legislated the mandatory use of safety seats, so the age until which a child should use one can only be referenced from standards in other countries. Based on the physical characteristics of Chinese children, a child under 10 years old who weighs less than 36 kilograms should use a safety seat. Conversely, a 5-year-old child who weighs over 36 kilograms (excluding obese children) may not need to use one. Specific details are as follows: 1. Suitable age for safety seats: In China, most parents use car safety seats for children aged 9 months to 4 years. Due to seat design, children's growth patterns, and their willingness, many seats become unusable after a short period. Therefore, it is recommended to choose adjustable and cost-effective safety seats when selecting one, rather than blindly pursuing expensive brands. The most important thing is that the child sits safely and comfortably. 2. Additional information: The age until which a child should use a safety seat varies by country, with some regulations based on age and others on the child's weight and height. Countries like Europe, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea have strict regulations requiring children under 12 to be secured in safety seats. Generally, children weighing less than 36 kilograms must use one.
