Holly Wagner is a young mother from Louisiana, USA. She has two children, Connor, a 3-year-old brother, and Cameron, a big brother in November.
Every time before taking a child to drive, Holly will definitely give the children safety measures, and personally ensure that they all sit in the child safety seat and fasten the seat belt before driving. But unfortunately, she ignored a small but vital detail that led her to face something that would make all parents feel heartbreaking.
On April 27, 2013, Holly’s boyfriend went out with two children. He also carefully placed the children in a safety chair and fastened their seat belts. However, because he did not notice the red light for a while, he collided with a car, and he and his three children were seriously injured.
At that time, her boyfriend and eldest son were separated from their lives after being rescued by doctors.
However, Cameron, who is only 11 months old, is not so lucky.
The original violent collision caused the back clip of the safety chair to split, and Cameron flew out of the seat, and the injury was very serious.
The doctor gave Holly one of the toughest choices: to rescue Cameron, who is very pessimistic, to let him live for hours or days; or to stop the operation of the life-sustainer, so that he can suffer less Leave the world. Looking at Cameron, who was full of tubes, Holly chose the latter with pain.
Cameron spent his first birthday in the hospital
On May 13th, Cameron passed away in the arms of Holly, and he finally could not suffer any more.
After investigation, the police found that the cause of Cameron’s death was because his child safety chair was not suitable for his age! This safety chair is too high and too loose for an 11-month-old child. It can't be protected in the event of an accident, so that the whole person can fly out and it will hurt so much. Another fatal reason is that the safety chair is facing forward, because when the impact occurs, the front of the safety chair can easily cause the child's head and neck to be hurt because there is no support. According to US television surveys, if the safety chair is oriented toward the rear of the car, the chances of effectively reducing the child's injury are up to four times.
After reading this heartbreaking real event, let's learn how to use the safety chair correctly!
Child safety seats are divided into the following types according to age and weight gain, which are used in infants, young children, and schoolchildren (shown below):
1. Infant bed (basket type), suitable for children aged 0 to 1 (weight less than 10 kg), the baby has not fully developed the cervical vertebra, the installation method needs to be installed backwards;
2. Safety seat for young children, suitable for young children aged 1 to 4 years old (weight 10~18 kg), the installation method is forward installation;
3. School children's safety seats and elevated seats are suitable for children from 4 to 12 years old (weight 18~36 kg).
In addition to the age, the principle of selecting a category depends on the child's size and weight. For example, a young child aged 3 years and weighing 19 kilograms should choose a safety seat for school children and cannot use the safety seat for young children.
Other child safety seats are only available for certain models, or for certain types of vehicle seat belts, and should be used with special care to match the vehicle you are driving.
The most important part of the child safety seat is the installation method (pictured below). At present, the safety seat design of each manufacturer's brand is different, and the installation method is also quite different. For example, how the car seat belt effectively entangles the child safety seat, How to fix the seat belt, how to adjust the seat, etc., if you do not read the instructions carefully, the probability of misuse is very high. Therefore, after the child safety seat is installed, it should be very firmly fixed on the car seat. If it can be easily shaken or loosened, it will not be installed. If an accident occurs, it may cause serious injury to children.
In addition to the correct installation steps in accordance with the instructions, if necessary, during the installation process, use the weight of the installer's body to press the child's safety seat with the knee, so that the car seat foam is compressed, and then let go after the installation is completed. The car seat foam rebounds, enabling the seat belt to secure the child safety seat more tightly.
I didn't expect the child safety seat to have so much knowledge. In addition to having to match the age of the child, the direction is also very important. Many parents think that as long as they buy a safety chair, once and for all, I did not expect this to be unsafe! I hope that parents can break the myth and use the safety seat correctly so that children can have a safe ride environment!
