Features of the choice of carrying for newborns in the car

With the advent of a small child in the family, the child car seat should be the main means for ensuring its safety in the car. It protects the baby during the trip from sudden fluctuations during braking, from shocks in the event of a traffic accident. Buying avtolyulki is considered the acquisition of an item included in the list of particularly important. Carrying out carries out several functions: comfort of the child on travel, protection against an overstrain, ensuring safe position.

The skeleton of a small person is not yet fully grown, the interosseous tissue is soft, the size of the head is not commensurate with the parameters of the body. In any accident, a sharp push or hesitation may harm the health of the baby. In addition, the use of a child car seat is enshrined in the rules of the road, and its violation is fraught with an administrative fine.

When choosing a child restraint, be careful. Types of chairs are grouped by children's height, weight category, parameters, age.

This type of car cradle is suitable for a child under six months. They still can not sit on their own. Car carrier will provide them a horizontal position of the body at the desired angle of inclination.

These portable cradles put in the car on the passenger seat in the direction opposite to the movement, that is, the child goes backwards. This protects the baby when cars collide head-on. Designed for children under the age of one and a half years weighing up to 13 kg.

Tight retention in the cradle is provided with straps with five-point fastening.

Devices of this type are made for kids up to the age of four and weighing up to 18 kg.

Children from three to seven years old, maximum weight up to 25 kg

For larger children aged 6 to 12 years with a fixed weight of up to 36 kg.

Before buying a chair, weigh the child, measure his height.

The main components of a children's portable device for a car include several basic components.

In many types of avtolyulek the form of the base is slightly rounded. At the bottom of the base there are slots for adjusting the belt tension. Hard side reliably protect the child during the trip. A special soft liner prevents injury to the groin area while the vehicle is moving or in the event of an accident.

Provide protection to the baby from accidental blows to the side. Belts are adjusted depending on the size of the child and his individual characteristics; in the presence of outer clothing, the belts are adjusted before each ride.

For transportation of young children, ensuring their comfort and safety, covers for avtolyulek and chairs are made from environmentally friendly materials, hygroscopic and breathable. Greater importance is determined by hypoallergenic and antistatic tissues.

In babies up to the age of three months, an orthopedic insert is used in the cradle. It keeps the head and neck of the baby in a fixed state until the neck muscles are fully strengthened. This accessory is included in the package of avtolyulki or bought separately. Such devices have been developed taking into account the physiological features of the skeleton structure of babies. This is the main difference from the in-house liners.

The correct position of the back of a newborn baby has an angle of 30-45 degrees. If this angle is reduced, the baby’s spine gets overloaded, the baby is in an uncomfortable position, and his breathing is difficult.

In many devices, there is a tilt angle control. This is convenient, since during a trip it is possible to raise or lower the backrest depending on the child’s activities (he sleeps or is awake). In some embodiments of the car seats there is a reclining position, in the cradles-carriers only the positions are horizontal or reclining. For a child of a preschooler or junior schoolboy, the inclination varies relative to the back of the car seat.

Almost 100% of child restraints are equipped with seat belts. This makes the device convenient to install in each car. Many avtolyulki there are belts, additionally fixing the child in it, the belt tension valves. This system provides a tight seat mount and makes installation easier. In many types of seats, the belt-holding system is three-point, but it is difficult to use, and improper fixation lowers the baby’s safety on the go.

This adaptation needs to be given great attention. Kids are very curious and often they begin to learn everything that falls into their hands. The fastener of belts plays a role of a toy. Therefore, a belt clip will prevent accidental opening of the buckles and protect the baby from falling out.

Group car seats with base is popular because of the high reliability of mounting on the car seat. This base joins in the back seat and keeps on it during the entire period of use of the chair. The cradle itself is easily installed and unhooked from the base, ensuring a quick change of the child’s location, without taking it out of the carrying case. These products come as a set. The use of retaining straps for mounting on the seat for this product is reduced to zero.

In this case, the base for the car seat is fixed on the support to the floor. These types of restraints are not suitable for all machines. Attach with fastening bolts.

The visor from dense fabric protects a crumb from direct beams, closes it from foreign views.

It helps to conveniently move the cradle to any place.

The additional devices include a mosquito net, a cover on the child’s legs, cup or bottle stands, a removable table and others.

The use of car seats or cradles for babies obeys the rules:

• securing the car seat should be done with a seat belt or base;
• cradles with marking 0 are placed at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction of movement of the machine, chairs 0+ are put in the opposite direction of movement;
• the carrying cradle is placed in the center of the back seat of the car to protect it from side impacts;
• all other accessories (big bags, baby things, accessories) are retracted in the trunk of the car;
• when transported on the front seat, the airbag is turned off;
• an infant is limited to being in a car seat for two hours, after which it is necessary to remove the baby for rest;
• The use of cradles from ordinary wheelchairs is unacceptable.

Pros:

• possibility of use in different types of vehicles;
• domestic use: rock baby, feed him;
• comfort and security of the child.

Minuses:

• if the child is not properly fixed in the chair, the child’s parameters and the category of the chair do not match, the lack of soft liners will bring the child suffering during the trip;
• loose or overstretched belts cause additional injury to the child during the occurrence of an accident;
• when the need arises to replace the carrier of the child, there is an inconvenience in using different devices, since, for example, there is no possibility to walk a long distance with a cradle in hand.

Choosing a car carrier for the baby, you should pay attention to several factors.

During the inspection, pay attention to a reliable fastening, the width of the holding belts, the presence of soft liners in the chair is obligatory. If there is a sign ECE R44 / 03 on the surface of the car seat, this guarantees compliance with European Safety Standards. The presence of such marking ensures that this type of chair passes all the tests for stability and quality.

For comfortable travel, check the adjustment of the angle of the back, the density of the protective visor, the cover on the chair. Straps should be at a convenient distance from each other and fit snugly to the body of the baby.

Fixing in different cars should be simple and convenient. A convenient swivel handle ensures quick installation and removal of the cradle from the machine.

Pay attention to the materials from which the basic elements of the cradle are made. Quality, without cracks and chips, the absence of sharp odors - the main parameters of the inspection of the product. Materials should be tested for environmental safety.

Before buying a device, you need to make sure that it matches the size of the baby. Put him in a chair, check the degree of tension of the belts, the child's fixation in the chair, the comfort of the baby's seat, whether there is any pressure or parts that cause rubbing of the body.

Very many options car cradles can be used on the wheelchair base. This greatly saves the family budget.

Read the test results of the selected type of cradle, read reviews on social networks. Often, a beautiful and convenient-looking carrying has a lot of inconspicuous flaws that worsen the quality of the child's trips.

The safety of a young child is affected by many factors:

• high-quality installation of the device in the car (backwards or at right angles to the movement of the machine);
• the use of softening fixing liner in the chair;
• securing the child’s body in the cradle with straps;
• The correct landing of the baby in the autolot.

The degree of satisfaction with the quality of security is established by crash tests in a German company. After they pass, the product is assigned a score from 2 to 5 and determines the ranking position in the list. It is worth noting that many devices did not pass these tests, but at the same time meet all safety criteria. This is confirmed by ECE labeling R44 / 04.
