For a long time, whether at home or out, it is the focus of people's hot discussion, and the lack of safety measures often becomes an important cause of children's physical injury or even death, and it is also an important topic for all parents with young children. This paper will analyze the safety of the means of transportation controlled by parents when they take their children out. As for public transportation such as passenger transport and airplanes, it is beyond the scope of today's discussion!

Cars are usually the most commonly used means of transportation for parents to take their children out. However, according to the report of "Automobile Driving Safety Survey" conducted by the Children's Welfare League in 20 12, among the parents with children aged 0-4 (sample number: 148 1), 69.9% parents admitted that their safety measures were not comprehensive, and 47.7% parents did not let their children sit in the back seat. Sometimes even the improper use of safety seats or parents' greed for temporary convenience may put children in danger. Let's take you to know:

Thoroughly understand the current laws and regulations of safety seats and auxiliary seats. At the moment of a car accident, the safety seat can play a buffering and protective role to prevent the child from being thrown out of the car. According to the current relevant laws and regulations, what kind of safety seats should be used by infants, young children and children respectively must depend on the current age and weight:

/kloc-under 0/year old or 1 0kg: use a crib or rear safety seat.

1 to 4 years old or weight 10 to 18kg: child safety seat.

4 to 12 years old or weighing up to 18 to 36 kg: use school seats or add auxiliary seats according to personal size.

If you are big enough to wear a seat belt, you can fasten it directly.

Further reading: the new safety seat system 9/ 1 is on the road, and children under 2 years old are forced to sit backwards.

There are many kinds of safety seats on the market. For example, babies under 1 year old can use supine beds, and some styles are only suitable for children over 1 year old. Xiao Minfen, director of education protection of Taipei Child Care Resource Center and Songshan Parent-child Library, reminded that expensive safety seats are not necessarily the best choice. In addition to choosing products of the right age, we should also recognize the inspection marks before buying. More importantly, how to make children sit in their seats without crying has repeatedly tested the patience and wisdom of parents.

Try to avoid letting children sit alone in the back seat. It is best to have an adult to look after it to avoid accidents. Sometimes children will wave their hands or try to get up out of curiosity, which may block the driver's view of the rearview mirror. If the child's seat belt is not fastened properly, he may fall off the chair and get injured. In addition, sometimes children will reach out to play with doorknobs or windows, and even reach out through the cracks in the windows. If there is no adult attention, the chance of injury will increase.

Supervisor Xiao Minfen reminded that in the new generation of children's seats, most safety buckles are safer five-point designs, and even some styles have a hidden lock next to the safety buckle to prevent children from unlocking themselves. Parents can ask more questions and compare more before buying.

In the car, adults can't just put their arms around their children or let them sit on their legs and fasten their seat belts. Sometimes adults think that their arms are the best "safety belts" for children, but when the car collides head-on, the child will rush forward at a speed of several times (40 kilometers per hour, the instantaneous forward force is 30 times the child's weight, in other words, if 1 the child's weight 10 kg, it will bear 3000.

In addition, car seat belts are suitable for people over 4 years old, with a weight of 18kg and a height of 100cm, and are simply designed for one person to ride. When an adult wears a seat belt and holds a child in his arms, the height of the seat belt usually just holds the child's neck. Moreover, the seat belt is not close to the body at this time. If an accident really happens, the child will become an airbag for adults, and the seriousness of the consequences can be imagined. Children don't understand the disadvantages of being surrounded by adults in the car, but adults have the ability to choose better protection for their children. Next time, even if the children are crying or the distance is short, they can't be easily let go of the steam seat because of convenience!

Never let children sit in the front seat, which is unsafe and easy to interfere with parents who take their children out alone. Never put the safety seat in the front seat for temporary convenience, or directly let the child sit in the front seat. On the one hand, because children's behavior is unpredictable, if they seriously interfere with driving, it may cause driving danger; Moreover, passengers in the front seat are often the first to bear the brunt of accidents. Although the front seat is protected by airbags, for small children, even if safety seats or seat belts are used, the impact of airbag activation is enough to cause serious injury or death. In addition, even if there is no airbag in the front seat, there is a high probability that the child in the front seat will be thrown out of the car when a car accident occurs, causing serious injuries.

Don't drop the window at will to prevent children from sticking their heads and hands out of the window at will. For children, the window is like a small TV. Everything outside the window is flowing and looks particularly novel and interesting. At this time, if there is a big or small gap in the window, the child may stick his head and hands out of the window at will out of curiosity.

Never leave children alone in the car. Maybe sometimes adults will think, "I'm just leaving to do some shopping. It shouldn't matter!" " However, even though there are many precedents, accidents that parents leave their children alone in the car will happen again and again every once in a while. Supervisor Xiao Minfen reminded: "The safety of children is not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Parents should never take chances. Even if you get off the bus 1 minute next time, you must take the children with you. 」

Further reading: The boy left the car to play alone and got stuck in the door and window! Parents should develop these four habits so as not to regret it.

Put toys or snacks in the car to prevent children from crying.

If you are worried that your child will cry in the car, or feel bored after driving for a long time, parents can prepare some toys, puppets, music CDs and so on. In the car, there are some snacks that can satisfy hunger. Put a small blanket to keep warm when sleeping. If the child is crying, it is best to stop the car and take the child outside to get some air and change his mood.

When it comes to riding a motorcycle, people always have the impression that they are "wrapped in iron". Although motorcycles have the characteristics of small size, dexterity, high speed and convenience, once a traffic accident occurs, the casualties of motorcycle drivers and passengers are often more serious than those carried by cars. Is this mode of transportation really suitable for you with infants at home?

"Three sticks" and "four sticks" are not safe at all! Usually, it is not difficult to find that motorcycles with "three stickers" and "four stickers" roared by, and sometimes adults sat behind them, and even half of them sat on the iron handles at the back end, which really made others pinch a cold sweat for them. In fact, it is not only the bearing mode of three stickers and four stickers, but also the behavior of letting children stand on the front pedal without wearing a helmet. In fact, there are many hidden dangers. For example, if children are allowed to stand on the front pedal and pass through the road with uneven road conditions, it is likely to be dangerous. Older children, on the other hand, tend to turn around because of curiosity during riding, and driving is likely to be disturbed.

In addition, the design of motorcycle seats was initially set to 1 to the length of the seat cushion for two people. Even if the baby is thin, it is caught in the middle or standing on the front pedal. If there is a traffic accident, the chances of young and delicate children falling from the car being seriously injured are still higher than those of adults.

Let young children sit alone in the back seat, and children can easily relax and put down. Director Xiao shared a real case with us. She witnessed a young mother riding a motorcycle with a baby in front and a 4-year-old child behind. As a result, the children in the back seat played together, imagining themselves flying and letting go of their arms. As a result, after a bumpy road, the child fell off the cushion.

Let the children sit alone in the back seat of the motorcycle, because the children's hands are not long enough to grasp the back armrest, and often they can only grasp the pockets or skirts of adults. After riding for a long time, children may fall asleep because of fatigue, or even let go because of sore hands, and fall to both sides carelessly, leading to accidents.

The safety helmet does not meet the requirements of children's head shape. The minimum head circumference of a child safety helmet is 50 cm, which is still too big for children aged 3 or 4, and it may slip if you barely wear it. Moreover, the quality of helmets on the market is mixed. Even if the size is appropriate, it is still difficult to confirm whether they are made of good materials and can play a protective role.

Driving or taking public transport is a safer choice. Judging from the above reminder, children are not suitable for riding motorcycles because the danger is much higher than that of adults. It is suggested that if caregivers can't drive, they should give priority to taking their children by public transport such as buses and MRT. Supervisor Xiao Minfen reminded that no reason can override the safety of children. In any case, giving priority to children's safety is the most important choice.

General physical examination of children's safety when going out-Vehicle Bicycle In recent years, it advocates the environmental protection concept of energy saving and carbon reduction, so it is often seen that the whole family travels by bicycle on holidays. According to the current laws and regulations, people can't ride bicycles, so we don't encourage parents to ride bicycles to carry their children. But after all, compared with motorcycles, bicycles are much slower, and parents usually only use them for short distances such as sending their children to school and shopping in the alley, so the danger is indeed reduced compared with motorcycles.

Choosing a safe, suitable and qualified doll seat, if parents want to completely ban their children from riding, according to the current situation, there is still a long way to go. But in fact, parents have installed doll seats on bicycles, which has been implemented for many years at home and abroad. The key point is to carefully choose the right doll seat. Director Xiao suggested that parents should know more before choosing doll seats. For example, there are two styles of doll seats: the front faucet and the back shelf. Although the former is only suitable for lighter children, its advantage is that it is convenient for parents to keep abreast of their children's situation.

Let the children sit on the doll seat to prevent their feet from getting involved in the wheels. Whether there are handrails on the doll seat and whether there are pedals on both sides for children to put their feet on are all places that parents must pay special attention to when purchasing. In addition, before riding a bicycle to turn left and right, you should inform the rear vehicles with gestures (if you want to turn right, you should extend your right hand to signal). Although gestures are not very popular at present, some drivers may not know the meaning of gestures, but as long as everyone develops a good habit of riding traffic safety, collisions can be effectively reduced.

Ensure that the brakes and other functions are in good condition, and safety equipment is indispensable. When children begin to learn to ride bicycles, parents are advised to check whether the brakes are intact, whether the tires are fully inflated, and whether the chain is tightened. The height of the cushion should be adjusted to the height where your feet can easily land, so as to avoid any unexpected situation and make a timely response. In addition, riding a bicycle must wear special helmets, elbow pads, knee pads and other equipment to give children better safety protection.

Supervisor Xiao Minfen reminded that even if most children ride bicycles in open places such as parks, parents should educate their children about correct driving safety from an early age, such as not riding or letting go with one hand, not hanging things on their hands, keeping a proper distance from other cars, and not deliberately racing with others to enjoy the fun of galloping.

Baby stroller Almost every family with a baby must have bought one or two baby strollers, which makes it more convenient and labor-saving to take the children out. However, there are various baby strollers on the market. What safety points must be paid attention to when choosing?

The height of the portable cart is low, so be careful that the baby inhales too much exhaust gas or is burnt by the exhaust pipe.

Portable (simple) baby strollers are low in height, so caregivers should avoid getting too close to the vehicle and letting the baby inhale too much exhaust gas, or getting too close to the exhaust pipe and getting burnt.

There is also a common problem of portable baby strollers-because of its convenient design and simple structure, it is often a storage method in which the body can be easily folded by pressing a button or gently pulling. Parents must be careful, if they accidentally touch the baby, so before buying, ask if there are any other safety buttons or tenons besides the buttons, and it will be safer to choose a style with double storage mechanism.

The five-point seat belt structure is the safest, and it is difficult for the baby to slide down and untie itself. When children are older and more curious, they often feel restless when sitting in a stroller. Therefore, parents are advised to choose a safer five-point seat belt (fasten shoulders, thighs and waist at the same time) to reduce the possibility of children falling. As for the seat belt that is too easy to untie, the baby is likely to untie it himself, and parents don't know it. This also requires special attention.

Do not hang heavy objects on the handle to prevent the stroller from tipping over. The handle of the stroller is not designed for hanging heavy objects, so it will not be attached with a hook when you buy it. Remind parents not to hang backpacks or heavy objects on the handle when using the trolley, so as to avoid the trolley suddenly losing its balance and overturning, causing injuries to children.

In addition, if you have two children at home, you can't just buy a big cart for the two children to sit together. After all, the trolley is only designed for a child. When two children sit together, the safety and protection effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

When stationary, fix the trolley with a braking device to avoid sudden sliding or overturning. Before buying, try to see if the wheels can stop completely and stay still to avoid the possibility of the cart suddenly sliding and overturning.

Taking children for a test ride can help you choose a style that meets your needs. Baby strollers of European brands often have the characteristics of large volume, stable body and heavy weight, while baby strollers of Japanese brands pay attention to portability and multifunction. However, parents can't just use this as a basis for choice. It is suggested that parents can take their children on a test ride together in order to truly see the blind spots that are easily overlooked. Finally, I would like to remind you that the price in luggage case is of course one of the key points to consider, but at the same time, it is necessary to identify whether luggage case has a "commodity safety label" that has passed the inspection by the Bureau of Standards and Inspection, and confirm the production date and service life of luggage case, so as to truly ensure the health and safety of children.

Before a pleasant trip, you must know three points (1) to prevent losses. At the same time, adults should always be vigilant and don't let children leave their sight at will. In case of emergency, parents can sew (or paste) the contact information of adults in their clothes in case of emergency.

(2) When standing medicines or articles go out to play, be sure to bring standing medicines or articles that children may use, such as trauma medicines, bandages, mosquito repellent, sunscreen lotion, etc. And the allergy and disease drugs they usually use. Others, such as warm clothes, sun hats and rain gear, can be prepared according to the needs at that time.

(3) Pay attention to cleanliness. It may be inconvenient to wash your hands often when you go out, so be sure to pay more attention to hand cleaning. Parents are advised to bring some plastic gloves when handling food for their children. In addition, we should also pay attention to whether the diet is clean. If the baby needs to drink milk, parents can prepare more clean hot and cold drinking water to ensure the clean water quality of washing bottles and milk powder.
