Child car seats are widely used by car owners all over the world, but unfortunately in some countries, they have very limited application.

Baby car seat is not a luxury but a requirement of the safe transportation of children in the car. Nowadays, it’s not difficult to find information on car seats for child. The range of children’s automobile seat is now so wide that every parent can choose for their child a model that satisfies all the security settings, the desires and needs.

What is a car seat?

Child car seats are divided into three groups. Each of them corresponds to a certain age and weight of the child.

The first group includes seats – cradle designed for children weighing up to 13 kg (approximately 15 months). This cradle is mounted by a 3-point belt against the direction of motion on the front passenger seat (if there are no airbags) or in the back seat. A newborn baby in this case is protected by separate system of belts.

Seats of the second group are designed for children weighing from 9 to 18 kg (approximately 8 months up to 4 years) and have a bowl shape. They are mounted in the direction of motion by the 3-point belt (some models with 2-point belts). A more reliable is fastening distributed worldwide by standard ISOFIX, which provide a rigid connection between the child seat and vehicle.

The third group includes seats for children weighing from 15 up to 36 kg (approximately 3 to 12 years). Even if the children have grown out of bowl seats (second team), the anatomy of child’s organism is still needed to provide support for the head and upper body. Therefore, the child is ideally protected by a 3-point seat belt at a higher level, drawing on the back.

Small children need the maximum care. In the first months of the infants’ life they still have very soft skeleton. Any sudden movements will have an unbearable burden on the infant.

As the children get older, they become active. Therefore, the second group provides seating space for games and the freedom of movement with the greatest possible security, as well as a comfortable position for comfortable and healthy sleep.

Starting from the age of three, children are growing just as in yeast. They grow out of clothes or shoes in only a few months. But you can not joke with security, especially during the unpredictable traffic. Therefore, the seat of the third group “grows” together with the child. For these purposes, many of them are adjustable to the height of the upper back or head.
