Original title: The usage rate of child safety seats in eight major cities is less than 40%
Children's Day, a childlike heart, focuses on the healthy growth of children, and the safety of children is highlighted. "At this stage, the most serious problem in the safety of children in China is that the use of child safety seats is not high. The lack of awareness of the dangers of children's ride and the safety of safety seats is the direct cause of the low seat utilization rate. "The Blue Book of Chinese Children's Road Traffic Safety" (hereinafter referred to as the "Blue Book") released on the eve of Children's Day pointed out that the use rate of child safety seats in eight cities is less than 40%.
Child safety seat usage is low
It is understood that the China Automotive Technology and Research Center and the Ministry of Public Security Road Traffic Safety Research Center have conducted research on the use of child safety seats in eight cities including Beijing, Qingdao, Dalian, Harbin, Nanjing, Changsha, Xiamen and Ningbo. The "Blue Book." The data shows that the average use rate of child safety seats in 8 cities is 33.26%, the city with the highest usage rate is Beijing, reaching 39.6%, and the city with the lowest usage rate is Changsha, only 8.77%.
The use rate of first-tier cities is less than 40%. Looking at the national market, the use of child seats is even more worrying. “In Europe and the United States, the use of child safety seats is as high as 95%. In China, although 85% of parents have the awareness of using child safety seats, the use of safety seats is only 1%, even in large and medium cities. The usage rate is not high, far less than Europe and the United States." Yin Jin, senior director of the Corporate Social Responsibility Department of Volkswagen China Investment Co., Ltd. said.
A foreign research topic shows that the use of child-specific safety devices can effectively reduce the probability of child injury by about 70%, and the proportion of casualties from 11.5% to 3.5%. Among them, child car seats are the most critical safety. equipment.
Safety seat legislation needs to be improved
Domestic car ownership has increased year by year, parents are paying more and more attention to children's driving safety, and the call for incorporating child safety seat into national policies and regulations is growing.
It is reported that there are currently 96 countries and regions in the world that have introduced laws and regulations for the mandatory use of restraint systems for children and occupants, including the United States, Germany, Australia, Japan, Brazil, South Africa, Taiwan and other countries and regions. The average number of children injured by car has dropped significantly. For example, the number of children killed in road safety in the United States and Germany has dropped by about 50%.
In contrast to the Chinese market, child safety seat legislation is still on the way. In September 2015, the state began to implement compulsory product certification (3C certification) for child safety seat products. If it does not obtain 3C certification, it will not be manufactured, sold, imported or used in other business activities.
According to industry sources, there are about 200 manufacturers of child safety seats in China, with annual production ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands. However, only a few manufacturers operate brands, mostly for foreign brands. "The domestic 3C standard is formulated with reference to the European standard, so after this mandatory regulation was introduced, it was considered a reassurance for parents."
The seat is safe, and when it is mandatory, it still needs to be legally perfected. In this regard, at the "Blue Book" conference, experts pointed out that "China is expected to introduce national regulations for mandatory use of child safety seats in the next two years ."
How to choose a child seat?
The China Consumers Association reminds consumers that the choice of child seats is based on the age and weight of the children; the second is based on the connection method, and the child safety seats currently on the market are roughly divided into child safety seat installation interfaces and The seat belt is fixed in two types of interfaces; the third is to see if it passes the 3C certification.
In addition, the China Consumers Association also reminded to use used seats with caution. Because second-hand seats may experience collisions and long-term use, it is easy to cause problems such as component wear and bacterial growth, which poses a safety hazard to children's safety and health.
