Car articles — child car seats
The smallest passengers need to be transported in special car seats, because they can not keep their balance and behave properly in the car. And it's not even about possible accidents, but about simple braking, when a child can hit hard and get injured.
The choice of car seat is determined by the weight of the baby:
Group 0: for kids up to 10 kg. Such designs are ordinary cradles with special fasteners. A special protection is provided for the head, which increases the level of safety. Some models are equipped with a special pen for comfortable transfer car seats for children.
Group 0+: for children up to 13 kg. This is already a full-fledged armchair with safety belts set against the motion.
Group 0+ and 1: provides the ability to adjust the seatback. Some models are equipped with the IsoFix protection system.
Group 1: for children weighing 9-18 kg. Suitable for passengers who already feel confident sitting. As protective elements are special belts or the IsoFix system. Some designs provide a special table, which protects the baby from shocks during a sharp braking.
Group 1-2: weight 9-25 kg. This is a universal design, with wide sides and the ability to adjust the slope of the seats.
Group 2-3: for children weighing 15-36 kg. As protective elements serve regular seat belts. Spink can be adjusted to the height of the passenger, you can transform into a booster.
Group 1-2: for babies weighing 9-36 kg. Universal models with wide possibilities of adjustment of seats. A practical option, because it is suitable for a child of different ages, due to what you do not need to change the device often.
The question of how to choose a car seat, arises from those who first encounter such a choice. Some are deterred by the universality of models, believing that such designs can not provide the necessary protection. However, at the age of 1.5 years is an ideal option, as children grow differently in this period and it is very difficult to adapt to a certain type of car seats. In addition, this is a budget option, especially if you very rarely take your baby on a trip.
Side protection of the head, neck and shoulders is not a mandatory requirement for car seats, but such elements significantly increase the safety and reliability of fixing a small passenger. The quality of the base material is often used metal, which is considered the most reliable, but also the heaviest, as well as plastic: an affordable, durable and lightweight option.
