Car seat Carkids

The seat belts that cars are equipped with are designed for adult occupants only. To restrain children properly, special child safety seats are used. With their help you can seat a young passenger in such a manner that the seat belts wouldn’t harm him, and his body and head would be in a comfortable position. Transportation of children using this accessory reduces the risk of injuries in case of a road accident and is prescribed by road traffic regulations in most countries.

Child safety seats: 8 important facts

1. The manufacturers’ catalogues offer products differing in design depending on the passenger’s age and weight. The products are marked with numbers. So, products of Group 0 are produced for infants under 9 months and weight under 10 kg. These seats are intended for transportation in lying position.
2. Group 0+ accessories are made for infants below 1.5 years and up to 13 kg. Such seats have a head support and side walls. A little child is seated in reclining posture and is retained by the 3- or 5-point seat belt.
3. Group 1 child safety seats are designed for infants from 9 months to 4 years, weighing 9–18 kg. Thanks to the adjustable backrest, these seats can be used for seating and lying. The accessories have reinforced sides and are equipped with armrests and shoulder pads.
4. Group 2 products are designed for transportation of 4–6 years old children with the weight of 15–25 kg. These seats have armrests and a height-adjustable backrest.
5. Group 3 accessories are booster seats with small armrests with or without removable backrest. Buying child safety seats of this category you will be able to use them for transportation of 4–12 years old passengers weighing 22–45 kg.
6. The optimal place to install the accessory is behind the driver seat. Products of Group 0 can be fastened in parallel to the rear seat backrest; or in the front, in the rear-facing position. In the latter case it is important to deactivate the front airbag beforehand. The Isofix anchorage system should be used if available.
7. Most of the removable covers can be machine-washed without aggressive detergents. Before doing this, read the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. It is prohibited to use the seat without a cover. The cover is a part of the seat structure, and the seat belts can only be fastened correctly if the cover is on.
