About the child safety seat interface

The installation of child safety seats can be fixed by seat belts or in three forms: ISOFIX system and LATCH system.

Because the seat belt fastening method is complex to operate and easy to misuse, it has basically been replaced by the ISOFIX system and the LATCH system so far.

How to fix child safety seats

Since the installation methods of child safety seats in the ISOFIX system and the LATCH system are very similar, the LATCH system is only slightly smaller than the ISOFIX system. There is an extra upper fixed point, and the lower fixed point is universal, so as long as the LATCH system child safety seat can be installed, the ISOFIX system child safety seat can also be installed.

Let’s take the LATCH system as an example to introduce the installation method of the child safety seat:

1. Place the child seat on the seat and find the lower fixation point, and insert the lower installation guide groove of the child safety seat into the lower fixed point in the seat gap until you hear an engaging sound.

2. Raise the headrest to the highest position, then pass the fastening strap through the headrest upright and hook it to the fixed point on the back of the seat, and finally secure the fastening strap Untwisted.

3. Tighten the fastening belt, rock the child safety seat back and forth, left and right, to ensure that it is firmly fixed. Correct installation of the child safety seat 2

According to Investigation by the U.S. Transportation Management Department: If the risk factor of the driver's seat of the car is set to 100, the risk factor of the passenger seat is 101, and the risk factor of the driver's rear seat is 73, 4, the risk factor of the seat on the other side of the rear seat is 73. The risk coefficient is 74.2, and the lowest risk coefficient is in the middle position of the back row, with a risk coefficient of 62.2.

First of all, if it is installed in the passenger position, when the airbag pops up, it may shock the child's head, and some car owners may often interact with children, which is easy to Attention is scattered, so the safety of installing a safety seat here is low and can easily lead to a greater chance of an accident. The passenger seat has the lowest safety factor, so it is not suitable to install a child seat.

In addition, many parents believe that after installing child safety seats in the car, the space inside the car is reduced, especially because there is no room for people in the middle of the rear row, so they will install the safety seat in the rear row. in the middle position. But in fact, most vehicles only have a horizontal two-point safety belt in the middle of the rear seat, and there is no blocking buffer in the front. If a collision occurs, the child will fall off and rush forward, and he is likely to hit the glass.

In addition, since most child seats are installed with vehicle-mounted three-point safety belts or ISOFIX interfaces, most models do not have ISOFIX interfaces in the middle and the safety belts only have one abdominal strap. It cannot effectively secure the safety seat. So overall, the middle position in the back row is not the best choice. Which side of the rear seat is safe to place the safety seat on?

Child safety seats are suitable for installation on both left and right sides of the rear row (second row) of the vehicle. The rear of the driver is a safer position, and there is a secondary protective cushioning of the seat in front. However, the disadvantage is that when putting in or taking out the baby, your position is on the left side of the vehicle, that is, close to the road side, not against the road. side, so there are certain safety risks. When using this position, be sure to make sure it is safe to get on and off the vehicle.

The position behind the passenger seat not only makes it easier for the driver to observe the baby through the rearview mirror and check whether the buckle has been unlocked by the baby, but also allows the baby to get on and off the car on the side of the sidewalk, which is safer. So in general, the best place to install a safety seat is behind the passenger seat. It should also be noted that the passenger seat and the third row of seven-seater cars have low safety factors and should be avoided as much as possible.
