On July 10, a traffic accident involving a collision between a bus and a truck occurred in the Yangzhou section of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. The small passenger car driven by Huo Mou collided with Zeng’s light-duty truck that was parked on the side of the road due to lack of oil, causing damage to the two vehicles. The two passengers died on the spot. At the moment of the collision, a 6-year-old boy on the bus was thrown out of the car more than ten meters because he did not use the child safety seat. Almost all motorists and passengers know that the correct use of child safety seats can effectively reduce the rate of child casualties, but there are very few parents who can be installed in time and replaced by age.
Safety seat usage is not satisfactory
On July 15th and 16th, it coincided with the verification of the admission of new students in the three districts of Yinchuan City. Many parents drive their children to the primary schools for verification and registration. The reporter visited the Sixth Primary School in Xixia District of Yinchuan City, the Experimental Primary School in Xixia District, the Eleventh Primary School in Jinfeng District, and the Reading Hai Primary School. They conducted random interviews and observations on the parents and vehicles who drove their children to register. Parents of more than 20 students interviewed in the three districts are aware of the need to have child safety seats, but only 5 of them have installed or used child safety seats, accounting for only 20% of the respondents. . At Yuehai Primary School, an interviewed parent told reporters when he was waiting for admission to the school: "Before the child is three years old, he often takes a vaccination at the community health service station in Xingqing District, so he spends more than 1,000 yuan to buy a safety seat. The chair can't be used when it's four or five years old. If you change one and get more than 1,000 yuan, and the child is too big, the safety seat will be removed." Another parent said that he was driving A compact car, if a child safety seat is installed, the rear seat is more cramped, and it is very inconvenient to travel with parents, so it has not been purchased. During the interview, the reporter also observed more than 20 vehicles carrying children, and only two were equipped with child safety seats.
Should be used before graduating from elementary school
The car child safety seat, also known as the child restraint system, is designed for children of different ages (or weights) and installed in the car. It can effectively improve the safety of children riding and is fixed to the motor vehicle with a buckle. A safety belt assembly or a flexible child restraint, adjustment mechanism, accessory, etc., can be combined with additional devices such as a portable cot, an infant carrier, an auxiliary seat or a collision protection. In the event of a car collision or sudden deceleration, the safety seat can reduce the impact on children and limit the child's body movement to reduce the damage to them and ensure the safety of the child.
Recently, China Automotive Technology Research Center China New Car Evaluation Procedure Management Center released the "Children's Restraint System Evaluation Rules (2017 Edition)". The new version of the evaluation rules has been implemented since July 1, and there are four major modifications and improvements compared to the 2014 version of the rules. The reporter noted that the children's restraint system products regulated by the rules cover children from 0 to 36 kg, and the reference age is 0 to 12 years old. Among them, the infant child restraint system is suitable for children under 13 kg, the reference age is 15 months or less; the child restraint system for children is 9 to 18 kg for children, the reference age is 9 months to 4 years; children for schoolchildren The restraint system is suitable for children weighing 15 to 36 kg and the reference age is 3 to 12 years old. That is to say, in a strict sense, children need to use and replace the child safety seat of the appropriate age before completing primary school. However, the survey conducted by the reporter within a certain range shows that there are very few parents who can use the child safety seat from time to time.
Children’s car casualties are frequent
Since the beginning of this year, many accidents involving child injury caused by the use of child safety seats have occurred throughout the country. Many children have been injured to varying degrees and even died.
On March 25, at the intersection of Daoke Village in Longkun South Road, Haikou City, Hainan Province, a black off-road vehicle suddenly broke the railing, rushed onto the sidewalk, hit an electric car and hit the tree. Just stopped. The left side of the car was seriously damaged, and the airbags in the driver's seat and the passenger's seat were popped up. In addition to a female driver on the off-road vehicle, there was a mother in the back seat holding a baby boy who was only six months old. After being sent to the doctor for diagnosis, the mother was not in danger of life, but the baby boy who was held in her arms was initially diagnosed with a skull fracture and needed to be hospitalized.
On May 7, a serious rear-end collision occurred on the Ningbo-Ningbo Expressway in Zhejiang. The rear car lost control and slammed into the front car, causing the front windshield to break, while the 6-year-old girl sitting in the back row flew out of the broken rear window and landed on the ground. Fortunately, the little girl was not directly in contact with the ground when she was taken out of the car, but it also caused the girl to have a broken leg and multiple body bruises.
On May 28th, at a crossroads in Zhumadian City, Henan Province, when a red car turned, the child was smashed because he did not take the safety seat and the back door was not locked. Fortunately, the traffic police on duty at the intersection saw the child rolling down to the middle of the road, and quickly rushed forward to pick up the child, and the child's father also quickly got off to check. After preliminary examination, the child is not serious.
But not everyone is so lucky. On March 3, a traffic accident occurred in Lai'an County, Anhui Province. A heavy-duty dump truck collided with a small car, and the small car driver and three pupils were injured to varying degrees. Unfortunately, another elementary school student was taken out of the car during the collision and died after being rescued.
Safety seat significantly reduces mortality
According to the statistics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, more than 18,500 children aged 0-14 in China die every year from traffic accidents, and the death rate is more than 2.5 times that of Europe and the United States. Experiments have shown that in a car traveling at 50 km/h, a 9-kilogram child will instantaneously produce 275 kg of impact, and the child will hit the body like a bullet, and life safety is seriously threatened. The safety belts and airbags that seem to be safe to protect are actually designed for adults and not for children. When a collision occurs, the adult seat belt may cause a child's chest rib fracture, suffocation or even a neck fracture. The huge impact of the airbag bursting will cause serious injury to younger children.
As of the end of 2016, the number of motor vehicles in our district reached 1,960,700, of which the growth rate of home car sales was obvious. At the same time, the chances of children being injured while riding a motor vehicle are further increased. Child safety seats can greatly reduce this damage. According to the 2013 Global Report on Road Safety issued by the World Health Organization, child safety seats can reduce infant mortality by 71% and infant mortality by 54% in the event of a car collision. Undoubtedly, the proper use of qualified and compliant child safety seats is the most effective way to ensure children's safety.
Use of seats for different ages
In the interview, the reporter noticed that although many parents know the importance of installing child safety seats, there are also many misunderstandings of purchase and use. More than half of the parents believe that buying a moderate safety seat can accompany the child's growth without having to replace it.
Traffic police and experts interviewed pointed out that when a child is one year old and does not exceed 9 kg, he should purchase a rear-facing child safety seat and cannot be placed in the front seat. When the child is over one year old and exceeds 9 kg, you can choose to install a child-specific safety seat or a convertible infant-type dual-purpose seat until they reach 18 kg. Children over 18 kg should be placed in a booster seat with a seat belt.
Experts especially stressed that even if the child has reached 36 kg and is over 12 years old, if the shoulder height does not exceed the minimum height of the seat belt, the car's own seat belt should not be used. It should be used after using the booster pad. The car's own seat belts may cause the risk of suffocation.
In addition to changing the child's safety seat in accordance with the height and weight of the child's age group, when installing and using the rear-facing baby seat, make sure that the rear seat belt is slightly lower than the child's shoulder, chest lock At the height of the child's armpit, the inclination of the seat is approximately 45 degrees; when installing and using the front-facing child seat, the seat belt of the child seat should be close to the body and tight when the child seat is lower than the seat belt When the child's shoulder is worn, the seat belt of the child seat can be removed and the car's own seat belt can be used. When using a heightening pad with a seat belt, it is necessary to use the car's own seat belt at the same time. This principle applies to both the backless and high-back type seats.
Forced use of safety seat legislation to step up
A few days ago, Shenzhen City plans to provide a child safety seat for some taxi pilots by the government. The citizens in need can make an appointment through the telegraph platform. This is the official implementation of the “Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Road Traffic Safety Violations Regulations†in 2015. It is specifically for children under 4 years of age to take small, micro-non-operating passenger cars and use a child safety seat that meets the national standards. Innovative initiatives for child safety rides. According to the reporter's search, Hainan, Inner Mongolia, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Jinan, Hefei, Suzhou and other places have adopted the regulation of the use of child safety seats in the form of local legislation to ensure the safety of children.
At present, 96 countries and regions in the world have introduced laws and regulations for the mandatory use of child safety seats. The use rate of the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden and other countries has quickly exceeded 90%. The case has dropped dramatically. In Germany, for example, after the introduction of the law on the mandatory use of child safety seats in Germany in 1993, the national use rate was as high as 96%. Between 1992 and 2007, the death rate of children in Germany was significantly reduced.
It is worth noting that the national-level legislation that has long been called for the mandatory use of child safety seats is being stepped up and is expected to be formally implemented in 2018. At that time, if the child is not sitting in the child safety seat, the parents will face fines and double penalties, and the safety of children will be more secure.
