Child safety seat

src: d1sfco99flnudn.cloudfront.net

A child safety seat ( baby seat , child holding system , child seat , seating baby , holding car seats , car seats , etc.) are seats specifically designed to protect children from injury or death during a car crash. Generally these seats are purchased and installed by consumers, but car manufacturers can integrate them directly into their vehicle designs and are generally required to provide anchors and ensure seat belt compatibility. Many jurisdictions require children to be defined on the basis of age, weight, and/or height to use government-approved child safety chairs while driving a vehicle. The child safety seat provides passive restraint and must be used properly to be effective. However, studies have shown that child safety restrictions are often not used properly. To overcome this negative trend, health officials and child safety experts create a child safety video to teach the installation of the right car seat to parents and caregivers.

Infant car seats are legally required in many countries, including most Western developed countries, to transport children safely until the age of 2 years or more in cars and other vehicles.

Other car seats, also known as "booster seats," are required until the child is large enough to use an adult seat belt. This is usually, but not always, when the child is 1.45m (4Ã, ft 9 in) high. The child needs to meet five criteria before getting out of the booster seat, including the child's seat position, shoulder belt position, lap belt position, knee position, and ability to sit properly during the trip.

Generally, countries that regulate passenger safety have a child safety law that requires a child to be appropriately restrained depending on their age and weight. These rules and standards are often minimum, and with each pass to the next type of safety seat, there is a step down in the amount of protection a child is in a collision. Some countries, such as Australia and the United States, prohibit a rear-facing child seat in front seats that have air bags. A rear-facing infant restraints placed in the front seat of the vehicle puts the baby's head close to the air bag, which can cause severe head injury or death if the air bag is spreading. Some modern cars include a switch to deactivate the front passenger airbag for the use of a child support chair.

In 2003, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggested that infants "should spend minimal time in car seats (when not passengers in vehicles) or other seats that maintain a supine position" to avoid developing plagiocephaly positions ("flat head syndrome").

In 1990, the ISO ISOFIX ISO standard was launched in an effort to provide standards for fixing car seats into different cars. Standards now include top moorings; the US version of this system is called LATCH. Generally, the ISOFIX system can be used with Groups 0, 0 and 1.

In 2013, a new car seat regulation was introduced: " i-Size " is the name of the new European security regulations affecting car seats for children under 15 months of age. This comes into effect in July 2013 and provides extra protection in several ways, especially by providing backward-facing trips for children up to 15 months instead of 9 to 12 months recommended by previous EU regulations.

History

Since the first car was produced and marketed in the early 1900s, many modifications and adjustments have been applied to protect vehicles driving and riding in motor vehicles. Most restrictions are in place to protect adults regardless of young children. Although child chairs began to be produced in the early 1930s, their goal was not the safety of children. The goal is to act as a reinforcing chair to bring the child to heights easier for parents who are driving to see it. New in 1962 two designs with the aim of protecting a child developed independently. British inventor Jean Ames created a rear-faced child seat with a Y-shaped rope similar to today's models. American Leonard Rivkin, from Denver Colorado, designed the front-facing chair with a metal frame to protect the child. It should be noted that seat belts for adults are not standard equipment in cars until the 1960s.

Classification

There are several types of car seats, which vary in the position of the child and the size of the seat. European Regional Standards Europe ECE R44/04 categorizes this into 4 groups: 0-3. Many car seats combine larger groups of 1, 2, and 3. Some new car models include stockholder seats by default.

Group 0

Group 0 infant seats, or baby carrier, keep the baby locked in a position facing backwards and secured in place with standard adult seatbelts and/or ISOFIX mounting.

A group of carrycots holding a baby lying on its back.

Carrycots are secured by both seatbelts in the back seat of the car. Both types have a handle to allow them to easily move in and out of the car.

• Position: Laying (in carrycots), facing back (in baby carrier), no airbag (with the exception of curtain airbags).
• Recommended weight: Birth to 10 kg (22 pounds)
• Estimated age: Birth to 15 months

Carrycots quickly

Carrycots or infant car beds are used for children who can not sit in ordinary baby chairs, such as premature babies or babies suffering from apnea. Carrycot is a restraint system intended to accommodate and hold the child in a supine or stomach position with the child's spine perpendicular to the median longitudinal field of the vehicle. Carrycots are designed to distribute the restraining forces above the child's head and body, excluding the limbs, in case of major accidents. It should be put in the back seat of the car. Some models can be changed to face forward after the baby reaches a weight limit that is usually around 15-20 kilograms.

Carrycots generally include belly belts and connections to the seatbelt (three points).

Infant carrier

'Baby carrier' means a restraint system intended to accommodate a child in a semi-backward position facing back. This design distributes a curb style over the child's head and body, excluding the limbs, in case of a frontal collision.

For young infants, the chairs used are baby carriers with typical weight recommendations of 5-20 pounds. Most baby seats made in the US can now be used up to at least 22 pounds (10.0 kg) and 29 inches (74 cm). , with some up to 35 pounds (16 kg). In the past, most of the baby seats in the US reached 20 pounds (9.1 kg) and 26 inches (66 cm). Baby carriers are often also called "Bucket Chairs" because they resemble a bucket with a handle. Some (but not all) seats may be used on a secured basis, or with a carrier strapped alone. Some seats do not have bases. Baby carriers are mounted face-to-back and designed to "cocoon" behind the vehicle seat in the event of a collision, with impacts absorbed in the outer shell of restraint. The rear-facing seats are considered to be the safest, and in the US children must remain in this position until they are at least 1 year old and at least 20 pounds (9.1 kg). although it is advisable to keep them facing the rear for at least 2 years or until they exceed the height and weight of the rear-facing rear seat, whichever is longer.

Group Group 0

Group 0 car seats usually have a chassis installed permanently in the car with an adult seat belt and can be placed into some form of baby transport using an integral handle if it is a special model. The rear-facing child's seat is basically safer than the child's seat facing forward as they provide more support for the child's head in case of sudden decelerations. Although some parents want to switch to a front-facing child seat because it seems more "mature," different countries and car seat manufacturers recommend that children continue to use child seats facing backwards for as long as possible physically

• Position: Sitting, facing back , no airbag (with the exception of curtain airbags).
• Recommended body weight: Birth (2-3 kg) to 13 kg (29 pounds).
• Estimated age: Birth to 15 months

Conversion seats

Conversion chairs can be used in many stages. Many convertible seats will transition from back-facing seats, to forward-facing seats, and some can be used as propulsion seats. Many convertible seats allow 2.3-18 kg (5-40 lb.) facing back, allowing children to be in a safer rear-facing position up to 18 kg (40 lb).

Convertible safety chairs can be mounted either face-to-back or forward-facing. There are many options available to choose from and the weight limits, height limits, and additional features vary from chair to chair and by the manufacturer. Seats with 5 point harness are considered safer compared to overhead shields

Convertibles are not considered the best choice for newborns because the bottom slot harness is often above the shoulders of most newborns. A seat with low bottom slot harness can be used if it is desired to use the conversion from birth.

Rear-weight limits range from 20 to 50 pounds (9.1 to 22.7 kg) depending on the manufacturer and country of origin. The forward border ranges from 20 to 90 pounds (9.1 to 40.8 kg) depending on the seating model and the factory as well as the country of origin.

Most convertible seats in the US have at least 35 lb (16 kg) backside weight limits, most now to go to £ 40 (18 kg), some  £ 45 (20 kg) and some  £ 50 (23 kg ). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children stay face-to-face until they surpass their convertible seats, regardless of how old they are. Children can remain in the back-facing seats until they have exceeded the weight limit for their seats, or the tops of their heads are 1 inch (25 mm) from the top of the car seat shell.

Group 1

The car's permanent fixtures use an adult seat belt to hold it in place and a five-point baby bridle to hold the baby.

• Position: Sitting, recommended facing backwards but facing forward is legal, no airbag (with the exception of curtain airbags).
• Recommended body weight: 9 to 18Ã, kg (20 to 40Ã, lb)
• Estimated age: 9 months to 4 years (Although older children can also fit)

It is recommended that children sit face-to-face for as long as possible. In Scandinavian countries, for example, children sit facing the rear for about 4 years. Rear-facing car seats are significantly safer in frontal collisions, which are most likely to cause severe injuries and death. The group 1 backward car seats are wider but still hard to find sources in many countries.

Group 2

Seats larger than the design of Group 1. This chair uses an adult seat belt to hold the child in place.

• Position: Sit, facing forward or facing back (make sure seats are certified to 25 kg)
• Recommended body weight: 15 kg to 25 kg (33 pounds to 55 pounds)
• Estimated age: 4 to 6 years (Although older children can sometimes match)

Group 3

Also known as a booster seat, this positions the child so that the adult seat belt is held in the correct position for safety and comfort.

• Position: Sit, facing forward
• Recommended weight: 22 kg to 36 kg (48 pounds to 76 pounds)
• Estimated age: 4 to 10 years, and above if the child has not been 36 kg

Booster Seats

Booster chairs are recommended for children until they are large enough to wear a seat belt properly. Seat belts are engineered for adults, and therefore too large for small children. In the United States, for children under the age of 4 and/or under  £ 40 (18 kg), a 5-point seat is recommended instead of a booster seat.

The Booster Chair lifts the child and allows the seat belt to sit firmly across the neck and thorebed bones, with the round portion attached to the hip. If the seatbelt does not cross the neck and hip bone, the seat belt will accelerate in the neck and abdomen and cause deep injury in the event of a collision.

There are two main types of amplifiers: high backs (some of which have energy absorbent foams) and no backs. The new generation booster seats are equipped with a powerful Isofix (Latch) connector that holds the anchor of the vehicle, enhancing the stability of the seat in the event of a collision.

Which consumer group? calling on producers and retailers to reduce the drivers without back-backs, saying they do not provide enough protection in side impact collisions and can endanger children. So while a backless booster pillow is better than not using a child seat at all, they do not provide adequate protection in all situations.

Front-facing obstacles

Used for Groups I, II and III.

After reaching the age of one year and 20 pounds (9.1 kg), children can travel in the front-facing seat. Most Scandinavian countries require that children sit face-to-face until at least age 4. This has led to Sweden having the lowest rates of children killed in traffic in international comparisons.

By law (in Canada and some US states), children need to be restrained until they are 4 years old and 40 pounds (18 kg). Once the requirements are met, they can move to a booster seat.

Security information

All child restraints have an expiration date. Seats may expire 6 years from the date of manufacture, although this may vary by manufacturer. The expiration date is heavily debated, with supporters and producers claiming that older car seats can lower the time to be less effective and that changes to laws and regulations require an expiration date. Opponents argue that it is only for their legal protection and to sell more car seats, and suggests that manufacturers have noted that plastics in most of the old car seats outlast the expiration date. Because aging is caused by changes in temperature and UV rays, the age of chairs is faster in the car than in the cold and dark basement.

Like motorcycle helmets and race cars, child restraint is tested for use in just one accident event. This means that if restraint is compromised in any way (with or without children in it), the owner is strongly advised to replace it. This is due to uncertainty about how the compromised child's restraint will be done on the next crash.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides guidance on the reuse of child restraint systems after an accident. Replacement of child restraint is recommended after a moderate or severe accident to ensure a high level of protection for child passengers. However, recent research has shown that child restraint can withstand the impact of small collisions without documented degradation in subsequent performance.

A minor accident is defined by NHTSA as one where all of the following apply:

• A visual inspection of the child safety seat, including checks under a movable seat cushion, does not reveal any cracks or deformations that may be caused by a collision
• Vehicles where a child's safety seat is installed can be driven from the crash site
• The vehicle door near the child's safety seat is not damaged
• No injuries to any of the occupants of the vehicle
• The air bag (if present) is not used

Disorders that meet all these criteria are much lighter than the dynamic testing requirements for compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 and are highly unlikely to affect future child seat safety performance.

Child control is sometimes a manufacturing ingredient. Withdrawals vary in severity; sometimes the manufacturer will send additional parts for the seat, at other times they will provide a completely new seat.

The used seat purchase is not recommended. Because of the above-mentioned concerns about expiration dates, crash trials, and recalls, it is often not possible to determine the history of child restraint when purchased by second-hand.

Children traveling by plane are safer in child safety chairs than in the hands of parents. FAA and AAP recommend that all children under 40 lb use child safety seats on aircraft. The booster seats can not be used on the plane because they do not have a belt.

Parents should not put children in a safe seat with a thick winter coat. The coat will taper in an accident and the rope will not be comfortable enough to keep the child safe. An alternative will put the coat on the child backwards after bending the child in.

The rope on the armor should be comfortable in the child, the parent should not be able to pin the rope from the child's shoulder. The rope also needs to be placed at the right height for the child.

Seating placement

A study of car crash data from 16 US states found that children under 3 years of age are 43 percent less likely to be injured in a car accident if their car seats are tied in the middle of the back seat than on one side. The results are based on data from 4,790 car accidents involving children aged 3 years and younger between 1998 and 2006. According to the data, the middle position is the safest but least used position. However, economist Steven Levitt (see below) has shown that car seats do not reduce casualties compared to ordinary seatbelts.

Moving from having a car seat in the front passenger seat to put them in the back seat, facing the back, can ease busy and annoyed parents to leave babies in the car. Every year, between 30 and 50 babies die of heat and hypothermia in the United States after being left in the car.

Legal

Europe

The 2003/20/EC Directive of the European Parliament and the Council has mandated the effective use of children's vehicle control systems 5 May 2006. Children younger than 135 cm (53 inches) in vehicles should be restrained by approved child restraint systems child size. In practice, the child's restraint system should be able to be mounted forward, or another row of seats. Children can not be transported using a rear-facing children's restraint system in passenger seats protected by front air bags, unless the airbags have been disabled.

To hold children for sale or use in any of the 56 UNECE member countries shall be approved by the standards of UNECE Regulation 44/04, Directive 77/541/EEC or other adaptations thereafter. To obtain ECE R44 approval, the child must adhere to several design standards, construction and production conformity. If approval is given a seat may display an orange label with a unique approval license number, approval type, mass group approved for and manufacturer details.

However, until May 9, 2008 member countries may have allowed the use of a child restraint system approved in accordance with their national standards. EuroNCAP has developed a child safety protection rating to encourage better design. Points awarded for ISOFIX universal child retaining anchorages, warning label quality and disabling systems for front passenger air bags.

2013: New European Union Regulation I-Size introduced: "i-Size" is the name of the new European security regulations, UNECE Regulation 129 which affects car seats for children under 15 months of age. This comes into effect in July 2013 and provides extra protection in several ways, especially by providing backward-facing trips for children up to 15 months instead of 9 to 12 months recommended by previous EU regulations. Read more about I-Size. This new regulation will be phased in between 2013 and 2018 and will run in parallel with UNECE R44/04 until 2018 when it is completely replaced.

Australia

Australian law on infants in motor vehicles was revised on November 9, 2009.

According to the law every child restraints sold in Australia must carry Australian Standard/NZ1754 sticker (right picture). Much of the restraint of children abroad, including restrictions from Europe and the United States, does not comply with these Standards and can not be legally used in Australia. This also applies to ISOFIX child restraint imported from Europe or the United States.

• Children under the age of seven should be held in a reinforcing chair or a suitable and approved child booster.
• Children under six months should be curbed in a position facing back.
• Children between the ages of six months and under four years should be restrained in the back or front restraint.
• Children aged between four and under seven years should be locked up in a forward-facing lever or booster seat.

In Australia there are six different types (Type A to Type F) of child restraint below mandatory standards. Note: This restriction is NOT based on weight but on HIGH. All car seats with AS/NZ1754 stickers will have elevation markers. These signs show clearly for the proper seating height.

The six types are:

1. Type A: The barrier is facing backwards or transversely inverted with a harness or other way of holding the child's back
2. Type B: Seats facing forward with harness
3. Type C: Front-facing harness without seats
4. Type D: Seats facing backwards with harness
5. Type E: a restraint consisting of:
   • booster seat or booster cushion used with self-contained type C and seat belts, or with lap-sash belts,
   • converter seats are suitable for children weighing 18 to 32 kg.
6. Type F: Restraints consisting of:
   • a booster seat used in conjunction with a Type C backpack and seat belt, or with a groin safety belt, suitable for children about 4 to 10 years old, or
   • converters used in conjunction with seat belts, suitable for children around 8 to 10 years old.

Type A/B Combinations: Child restraints can also be a combination of the above types. For example, a Type A/B converter chair

Responsibility for children under the age of 16 using proper restraint or seat belts is in the driver's hands. In Queensland, a penalty for drivers who do not ensure that passengers under the age of 16 are well curbed involving a fine of A $ 300 and three points of loss. In Victoria, the fine is a fine of A $ 234 and three points of loss. The possibility of suspension or cancellation of the license also applies.

Legal exceptions

• Tax laws vary by country for babies. For children up to the age of seven, child restraint should be used if available, otherwise the child should use a properly-tied and adjusted seat belt.
• A child traveling by police car or emergency vehicle.
• If a child has a medical condition or physical disability that makes it impractical to use child restraint and the driver has a certificate from a doctor indicating this is the case.

Austria

• All children smaller than 150Ã, cm (4Ã, ft 11Ã, deep) and younger than 14 years should use a booster or car seat to suit their weight. A child must be 14 years old or 4'11 "to ride without a booster seat.

Brazil

• All children smaller than 145 cm (4Ã, 9 inch) and younger than 7 years should use a booster or car seat to suit their weight. A child should use a car seat at the age of 0-4; Age 5-7 booster is required.
• Children under 10 years old must ride in the back seat.

Canada

• Child protection requirements vary from province to province.
• The strictest provincial legislation requires children younger than 10 years and less than 4Ã, ft 9 to use the propulsion chairs.
• For safety reasons, it is generally advisable to use a booster seat until the child reaches a height of 4Ã, ft 9 in.

German

• All children younger than 12 years and smaller than 150Ã,® cm (4Ã, ft 11Ã, in) should use a booster or child safety seat according to their weight. The Department of Transport recommends that children continue to use chairs when they are 12 years old or older but smaller than 150 cm (4 ft 11 inches).
• It is strongly recommended that children younger than 14 years old sit in the backseat or use a booster seat in the front seat.

Israel

• 1961 The Israeli transport law states that every passenger and driver in a vehicle must have a seat belt or safety seat. A child under the age of 3 should be assigned to an approved safety seat, and until the age of 8 the child needs to be in a booster or safety seat. Up to a year a child has to ride face to back. Children with appropriate car seats are allowed to travel in the front seat if the air bag is disabled. The Israeli transport regulations state that a child under 36 kg, 140 cm high, or 8 should use some kind of safety seat.

The Israeli rule states that Sal Kal (he: ??? lit. easy basket) is equal to the Group 0 rules and the European group 0

An Urban legend in Israel states that nursing homes and hospitals will not allow out with babies if SalKal (baby carrying a safety seat) is not presented.

New Zealand

NZ Transport Agent organizes rules and sets standards for health and safety aspects with respect to child restrictions in New Zealand. Their guidance sets the minimum legal requirements for New Zealand vehicles from a safety perspective. Installing the right car seat can protect the individual and can be a lifesaver. This page provides details on eligible seating seats and approved standard signs to watch out for in child restraints. This agency trains and certifies to NZTA certified technician certified technicians authorized to install child safety chairs.

Rules and regulations for passengers of different ages

• Children under the age of 7 should use approved child restraint unless they travel by public bus, shuttle or taxi and approved restraints are not available.
• 7-year-olds should use approved child restraint where available.
• Children over 8 years of age should not use child restraint but should travel in the back seat if they are not available.

Special regulations apply to children traveling on the first registered vehicle (in New Zealand or elsewhere) before 1 November 1979 because these vehicles do not need to be equipped with seat belts in all seats.

New Zealand Approved Signs for child restraint

All child restraints must meet the standards set by the NZ Transportation Agency. There are different signs to indicate this agreement from a security perspective. Approved signs/symbols are shown in the table below:

The number after the 'E' in the ECE standard 44 indicates which country expresses the child's restraint. Therefore the number differs between countries. The European Union (EU) also has the same symbols to show safety standards for children traveling by vehicle.

Spanish

• Front seats: children younger than 12 years old or smaller than 4 feet 5 inches should use child safety chairs. People larger than 135 cm (4 feet 5 inches) can use adult seat belts.
• Rear seats: people smaller than 135 cm should use child safety chairs. Also applies to children younger than 12 years.

United Kingdom

From 18 September 2006, All children under the age of 12 should use some form of child car seats, unless they are higher than 135 cm (4 ft 5 in).

United States

• The child restriction requirements are different for different states in the United States.
• In Florida and South Dakota, children aged four and older can use adult seat belts without child safety chairs. In other countries, appropriate booster or child restraints are required until the child is between five and nine years old, depending on the state.
• Most states are included in their legal requirements that all babies ride face-to-face until they are SECOND one year old AND at least 20 kilograms. Although not included in every state law, no child safety control marketed to the US will accommodate babies less than 20 pounds, some not less than 22 pounds, in a forward-facing position. In 2011, most children ride facing back until they are at least 2 years old.
• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises the use of child restraint or wheelchairs for all children shorter than 4Ã, ft 9 inches, regardless of age and weight, or even longer if the belt hits the child in wrong place. Some booster seats can be used for children up to 60Ã, "and 120 pounds.
• Many state laws prefer 12-year-old and younger children to sit in the backseat if available. Some states, such as in Michigan, prohibit placing a child under the age of 4 in the front seat if a rear seat is available.
• Some states require that all child safety chairs be used in full accordance with manufacturer's instructions in what is sometimes referred to as the "proper use clause".

Manufacturing

Although there are hundreds of variations of brands and models in the world of child safety chairs, the materials used in the manufacturing process are essentially the same. The factory where seats are put together receives a lot of polypropylene pellets. Foams form individual seat pads, while vinyl and cloth are used to make blankets for chairs as well as armor.

The safety seat improves the safety of a controlled child in the case of a motor vehicle accident. Safety chairs include foam pads, cloth covers, reins, and buckles or mounting mechanisms. Labels and instructions are also attached. Each child's safety seat will have an expiration date. The Safe Kids USA organization does not recommend using child safety chairs over 6 years old. Periodically, the child safety seat is withdrawn by the manufacturer for safety reasons. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posts a link to the latest withdrawal information at nhtsa.gov.

Type

There are different types of child safety chairs for children of different sizes and ages.

• Infant seats - Child-made child safety chairs are the smallest and have a handle for easy carrying and loading. Newborns are most often placed in seats facing back. This chair is designed for babies up to 22 pounds (10.0 kg) to 32 pounds (15 kg), depending on the model.
• Convertible seats - Similar to infant seats, convertible seats can be used in back or front facing positions and are used for children typically ranging from 5 pounds (2.3 kg) to 50 pounds ( 23 kg). The rear-facing position is used for children until they weigh more than 20 pounds (9.1 kg) and at least two years. Research and collision test results show that children are safer in child-facing safety seats. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping children in back seats facing back until "they are 2 years old or until they reach the highest weight or height permitted by their car safety seat manufacturer" (www.healthychildren.org).

Some seats allow the child to remain rear-facing up to 45 pounds (20 kg). Once the child reaches the minimum requirements for front-facing, the seat can be rotated and used as the front-facing seat.

• Combined seats - Combined seats or a five-point booster are front-facing seats that have a five-point harness system. This can be modified into a belt-positioning booster by removing some webbing
• Booster Seats - Combined seats described earlier can be a high-back belt booster booster. There are also high-back belt position drivers available for that purpose only. Another type of belt-positioning booster is a low-back or no-back booster. The main difference between low and high booster seats is increased head support and protection in side impact collisions. Vehicles with bench seats and no headrests should use a high rear booster. The purpose of the booster seat is to provide an elevation to the child so that the shoulder belt is located right on the shoulder blade and does not rise to the child's neck. It also provides a "hip" that the seat belt can rest safely in and stay on the child's large bones instead of resting across the soft tissues of the stomach. This chair is available for children over £ 40 (18 kg) to over 100 pounds (45 kg). From the age of eight to twelve, children may have surpassed their booster seats and may be allowed to use adult seat restrictions on a regular basis. It is recommended that, until the age of thirteen, the child remains in the back seat.

Dangers

Manufacturers have quality control to ensure that the seating is put together and packed properly. However, it is not guaranteed that the instructions included are always followed and followed correctly. Up to 95% of installed safety chairs may not be appropriate seating for children, may be loosely coupled to vehicles, may be associated with an incompatible belt in vehicles, may have an incorrect seat belt in some way, or may be incorrectly placed in the front air bags. In 1997, six out of ten children who died in a car crash were not properly blocked.

Along with the problem of instructions that are not followed correctly, there are other dangers that can affect children involving this safety seat. A recent study linked many cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) to the long sitting or lying position these infants were in when placing a safety seat for use. When the researchers reviewed more than 500 infant deaths, it was found that 17 of these deaths occurred when the baby was in a device like a child's safety seat. The age of death rate most commonly occurring by SIDS in child safety devices was found to be under one month, having six of the 17 deaths occurring in this age group. Although SIDS has been found to be a high risk of child safety chairs, the coronary in Quebec also stated that "putting babies in car seats... causes respiratory problems and should be discouraged." His warning came after the death of a two-month-old boy who was left to nap on a child's safety seat positioned in his crib rather than the crib itself. Death is associated with positional asphyxia. This means that the child is in a position that causes him to slowly lose its oxygen supply. Coroner Jacques Robinson says it's common for the baby's head to slip forward when in a car seat that is not installed properly in the car and that can reduce the baby's ability to take oxygen. "Car seat for car," he said. "Not for bed or sleep." Robinson added, however, that he has nothing against the car seat when they are used properly. The coroner said that it is common for the baby's head to "slip forward while in the car seat and it reduces oxygen".

The American Academy of Pediatrics says to "make sure the seat is at the right angle so that your baby's head does not fall forward." Many seats have a corner indicator or regulator that can help prevent this If your seat does not have a regulatory angle, return by putting a rolled towel or other firm pads (such as pool noodles) under a base near the point where the back and bottom of the vehicle seat meet. "The safety seat comes with an instruction book with additional information about the proper angle for the seat.

Criticism

There are some criticisms of the forward-looking child safety seat, especially by economist Steven D. Levitt, author of the popular book Freakonomics. In a 2005 article in the New York Times, Levitt pointed out that available data do not support the need for forward-looking child safety seats for children over two years, arguing that cheaper and simpler seatbelt alternatives offer the same protection as advanced -Found a seat. Levitt was a guest at the TED conference in the same year, and gave a lecture that made the same case. Levitt's research and findings have been criticized and refuted by research conducted by colleagues, who find child safety seats offer considerable security advantages over seat belts alone.
