The Importance of Child Seats on Journeys
During car journeys, various precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of children. The use of child seats comes first among these precautions. Using a child seat during a journey plays a vital role in ensuring this safety.
1. Protection in Case of Accident: Child seats help prevent children from being seriously injured in adverse situations that may occur during a journey. Parents may generally think that carrying them on their laps is safe, but in the event of an accident, the child being thrown around uncontrollably can lead to serious injuries. Research shows that properly placed child seats reduce the risk by 71%.
2. Protection Appropriate for Age and Weight: Child seats are designed according to the age, weight and height of the child. There are different types of seats for children from newborns to 12 years old. Each type of seat is specially designed for the needs of the child and provides the highest level of safety.
3. Legal Obligations: The use of child seats is a legal obligation in many countries. In Turkey, it is mandatory for children under 36 kg and 150 cm to use a child seat. These laws were enacted to ensure that children are protected in the best way possible during travel.
1. Choosing a Seat Appropriate for Age and Weight: When choosing a child seat, it is important to choose a model that is appropriate for the child's age, weight and height. Rear-facing seats should be preferred for babies, and forward-facing seats for older children.
2. Seat Installation and Positioning: Correct installation of the child seat is critical for safety. If the seats are not positioned correctly, they will not provide the expected protection in the event of an accident. Placing the seat in the back seat and, if possible, in the middle provides extra protection against side impacts.
3. Belt Use: Correctly fastening the child's seat belt is essential for a safe journey. Adjusting the belt so that it tightly wraps around the child's shoulders and hips minimizes movement in the event of an accident and reduces the risk of injury.
1. Regular Checks: Child seats can wear out over time. Therefore, it is necessary to check the seats regularly and replace them if necessary. Also, avoid using second-hand seats, as previous damages may endanger safety.
2. Education and Awareness: Parents should be aware of and receive training on the use of child seats. Learning the correct usage and installation instructions is critical to ensuring the safety of children.
3. Exemplary Behavior in the Vehicle: Children take their parents as an example. Therefore, parents should always use seat belts and set an example for their children in this regard.
