2. Comparison of the safety of domestic and foreign products

Domestic products: made in china, because although domestic legislation has promoted the popularization of child safety seats, there is still a lack of domestic safety seats. Monitoring standards, quality and certification are not guaranteed. No matter how cheap the price is, at least the performance is not enough. CCTV's "Consumer Proposal" and "Oriental Time and Space" columns revealed that 3 of the 4 models of seats are unqualified. It shows that Chinese products cannot be generalized, some are good, and the "good boy" ones look pretty good (in my personal opinion, there is no test basis, it is for reference only). I hope that our country’s child safety seat products can be in line with international standards as soon as possible!

Foreign products: At present, they are relatively better than domestic products. The quality of imported brand seats has been certified by various institutions and has higher security, but the price will be more expensive. As for how to choose foreign products, I personally think:

The first thing to determine is that the vehicle should be equipped with an "ISOFIX" or "latch" interface. The latch interface is compatible with the isofix interface. I personally think that the child safety seat passes the ISOFIX hard interface. Connected to the car seat, it can minimize the relative displacement between the child seat and the car body, and is the safest child seat fixed structure. Currently, children's car seats with ISOFIX hard interfaces are basically dominated by Germany. American products are basically soft interfaces (Latch), and Japanese products are silent.

Secondly, determine the applicable age range of the purchased child safety car seat.

Finally, it is better to spend more money than buy fake products, be careful when buying domestic OEM products (not to mention the brand), and be careful about buying products with poor after-sales service (such as overseas shopping, after-sales service will be very troublesome). If the conditions are convenient, it is best to go to a physical store to buy. If it is not convenient, you can buy it from a more reliable place online. Of course, depending on personal subjective factors, you can buy it overseas, buy second-hand, etc.

I started buying a safety seat for my baby last year. I had already decided on the Kiddy, but after I bought a new car this year, I discovered that Concord (Chinese is Concord) has opened a flagship store online. I have been the collision avoidance champion for 4 consecutive years. I couldn’t resist the temptation and bought a blue XT. It should be the most expensive among the 3-12 year olds. The RMB is very expensive, but it’s worth it for my children. My kids are using it just fine so far.

Remember, even if you don’t buy a child safety seat, you should let your child sit in the back seat, and do not hold the child in the front seat (a big no-no, as it will act as a human shield, throw him out of the car, or hit his head) Front block), do not directly fasten seat belts (strangulation, unless the child develops quickly or is naturally large and has an adult size) for children under 12 years old.
