“China's child safety seat industry is still at the initial stage of development. The industry faces many problems that need to be overcome, including technology, regulations, certification, and supervision. Only relying on the strength of the industry can gradually solve the problems facing the industry and promote children. The rapid development of safety seats.” Recently, at the kick-off meeting of the “Children's Safety Chair Public Welfare Promotion” project, Meng Yan, deputy director of the Intelligence Research Institute of China Automotive Technology Research Center, said that the “Child Safety Seat Public Welfare Project” was built to solve these problems. A platform for the problem, I hope through the efforts of all parties to promote China's mandatory use of child safety seats and promote the healthy development of the industry.

On July 1st, the mandatory standards for the “Restriction System for Motorized Children’s Crew Members” have been implemented. This is the first child safety seat standard in China and sets the standard for improving the concept of child safety in China and popularizing child safety seats. basis. Through the implementation of mandatory standards, the society has increased the attention to children's safety by car, and has also promoted public awareness of child safety seats.

However, due to the lack of public awareness of the importance of child safety seats, the utilization rate is less than 1%, and in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the use rate has already been used due to the government's enactment of regulations to force the use of child safety seats. More than 90%. “The low use rate of domestic child safety seats is due to the fact that there are no mandatory regulations for domestic use. Second, there is no mandatory standard for the implementation of child safety seat buckles for vehicle manufacturers. Third, consumers do not use them. The safety awareness of child safety seats.” Li Weijing, director of the Automotive Standardization Institute of China Automotive Technology and Research Center, said that this is mainly due to the lack of education on citizen-related safety awareness in China, and lack of understanding of the hazards of not using child safety seats. At the same time, the price of domestic child safety seats ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, and the relatively expensive price is also a reason why some car owners do not use child safety seats.

There is no mandatory standard constraint, which is why many vehicle manufacturers do not have child safety seat buckles. According to the staff of the China Automobile Association, which is engaged in the "National Compulsory Standards for Child Safety Seats and Related Products", the cost of installing clips on automobiles is not high, and the technical difficulty is not great. However, for many low-end cars that win prices, the province can be the biggest principle for manufacturers to reduce costs. Industry insiders also stated that many children's safety configurations on European and American models have become the preferred items for the reduction after localization.

According to the survey data, more than half of the parents think subjectively that the children are safest when they are on the bus, especially the baby. The result is that every year, more than 18,500 children under the age of 14 die in traffic safety accidents in our country. The child’s death rate from traffic accidents is 2.5 times that of Europe and 2.6 times that of the United States. Scientific experiments at the Tsinghua University Automotive Collision Laboratory have shown that in the event of a car collision, the use of child safety seats can reduce the infant mortality rate within the age of 0 to 3 years by 71%, and the mortality rate of children aged 3 to 6 can be reduced by 54%. The proportion of casualties decreased from 11.5% to 3.5%.

Fortunately, as more and more people pay attention to the problem of child safety car rides, many auto companies have also begun to take action, such as Shanghai Volkswagen launched the "baby security" activities. “With the mandatory standards for child safety seats and the impending implementation of the relevant CNCAP, especially the “Restriction System for Motor Vehicle Child Occupants” standard implemented on July 1, the journey for the compulsory use of child safety seats in China is promoted. In a big step, China's mandatory use of child safety seats is ripe.” Meng Yan revealed that China National Automobile Research Institute is currently planning to establish standards for the protection of child safety seats in the event of a car's side impact, which is not covered by current standards. .
