Ukuqonda izincomo ze-NHTSA zezihlalo zemoto yezingane

09.11.2022 /

"Sizoba nomntwana" - amagama amane azoshintsha phakade impilo yabashadikazi besikhathi esizayo. Lapho injabulo (noma mhlawumbe ukushaqeka) kwezindaba isiphelile, abazali abaningi abazoba khona abasakwazi ukuthi yini okufanele bayenze ngokulandelayo.

Abanye bangase bafune ukuthuthukisa amakhono amahle okuba umzali ngokulanda incwadi kaDkt. Benjamin Spock, Ukunakekela izingane. Abanye bangase baseshe i-inthanethi kancane, bacabange ukuthi i-nursery izobukeka kanjani.

Cishe kuphephile ukusho ukuthi ukujaha ukuhlolisisa izindinganiso zokuphepha zikahulumeni ze-National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) zezihlalo zemoto mancane amathuba okuba zibe phezulu ohlwini lokuthi "siba nomntwana, ngakho masenze okuthile". Kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukufunda ukubuyekezwa komkhiqizo nokuqonda izincomo ezinikezwe yi-ejensi kuzoba wusizo olukhulu.

Unyaka ngamunye, i-NHTSA ikhipha izincomo ezincoma ukusetshenziswa kwezihlalo zemoto. I-ejensi inikeza:

Kusukela ekuzalweni kuya onyakeni owodwa: izihlalo ezibheke ngemuva

  • Zonke izingane ezingaphansi konyaka owodwa kufanele zigibele esihlalweni semoto esibheke ngemuva.
  • Kunconywa ukuthi izingane ziqhubeke nokugibela zibheke ngemuva zize zifinyelele cishe amakhilogremu angu-20.
  • Uma kungenzeka, indawo ephephe kakhulu yengane yakho kuzoba isihlalo esiphakathi nendawo esihlalweni esingemuva.

Kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-3 iminyaka: izihlalo eziguqulekayo.

  • Uma ikhanda lengane yakho lifika phezulu esihlalweni sayo sokuqala semoto, noma lapho ifinyelela isilinganiso esiphezulu sesisindo sesihlalo sakho esithile (ngokuvamile amakhilogremu angu-40 kuya kwangu-80), kuphephile ukuba igibele ibheke phambili.
  • Kusafanele agibele esihlalweni esingemuva, uma kungenzeka, phakathi nendawo.

Iminyaka emi-4 kuye kweyi-7: Ama-boosters

  • Uma ingane yakho isizuze cishe amakhilogremu angu-80, kuyoba okuphephile ukuthi igibele esihlalweni sokuphepha sengane nebhande lesihlalo.
  • Kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ibhande lesihlalo lilingana kahle emadolweni engane (hhayi esiswini) nasehlombe, hhayi entanyeni.
  • Izingane ezihlezi ezihlalweni zokukhuthaza kufanele ziqhubeke nokugibela ezihlalweni ezingemuva.

Iminyaka emi-8 kuye kweyi-12: Ama-boosters

  • Izifundazwe eziningi zinezidingo zobude nesisindo ezikhomba lapho kuphephile ukuthi izingane ziphume ezihlalweni zezingane zazo. Njengomthetho, izingane zilungele ukugibela ngaphandle kwesihlalo esikhuthazayo uma zingamafidi angu-4 amayintshi angu-9 ubude.
  • Ngisho noma ingane yakho ihlangabezane nezidingo ezincane zokugibela ngaphandle kwesihlalo sengane, kunconywa ukuthi uqhubeke nokugibela esihlalweni esingemuva.

Ngaphandle kokungabaza, ukuthenga isihlalo semoto kungaba okuhlangenwe nakho okumangalisayo. Izihlalo kuphela ngokumelene nesiqondiso sokuhamba; izihlalo eziguquguqukayo; izihlalo ezibheke phambili; ama-boosters ezihlalo; nezihlalo ezibiza phakathi kuka-$100 no-$800, yiziphi okufanele zikhethwe umzali?

Ukuze usize abathengi, i-NHTSA iphinda igcine isizindalwazi esibanzi sokubuyekezwa kwe-ejensi cishe kuzo zonke izihlalo zemoto emakethe. Ezibuyekezweni, indawo ngayinye ilinganiselwe esikalini esisodwa kuya kwezinhlanu (ezinhlanu kube ezihamba phambili) ezigabeni ezinhlanu:

  • Ubude, ubukhulu nesisindo
  • Ukuhlolwa kwemiyalelo namalebula
  • Kulula ukufaka
  • Kulula ukuvikela ingane yakho
  • Ukusebenziseka kalula okujwayelekile

Isizindalwazi siqukethe ukuphawula, amathiphu omsebenzisi nezincomo zesihlalo ngasinye semoto.

Ukumunca lonke lolu lwazi kungakwenza ube nesiyezi. Ungase uzibuze ukuthi izihlalo zemoto ziyadingeka ngempela? Phela, izihlalo zemoto (ikakhulukazi lapho ingane yakho igibela ihlehla) yenza kube nzima ukuphatha ukungakhululeki kohambo olude (cabanga ukubhoboza ikhanda nokukhala okungapheli).

Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi abazali bakho abazange bagibele bahlehle ngebhakede lepulasitiki basinda, pho kungani ingane yakho kufanele yehluke?

NgoSepthemba 2015, iCenters for Disease Control and Prevention yakhipha umbiko ngokusetshenziswa kwezihlalo zemoto. I-CDC inqume ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezihlalo zemoto kubalulekile ekuphepheni kwengane yakho. Umbiko uphethe ngokuthi:

  • Ukusebenzisa isihlalo semoto kunganciphisa ukulimala kwezinsana ngamaphesenti angaphezu kuka-70; futhi phakathi kwezingane ezisacathula (ezineminyaka engu-1-4 ubudala) ngamaphesenti angaphezu kwama-50.
  • Ngo-2013, izingane ezingaba ngu-128,000 12 ezineminyaka engaphansi kweyi-XNUMX zalimala noma zashona ngenxa yokuthi zazingavikelekile esihlalweni sezingane noma esihlalweni sengane esifanele.
  • Ezinganeni ezineminyaka engu-4 kuya kwengu-8, ukusebenzisa isihlalo semoto noma isihlalo se-booster kunciphisa ingozi yokulimala kabi ngamaphesenti angu-45.

Kubonakala kusobala ukuthi ukusebenzisa ingane noma isihlalo esikhuthazayo kwandisa amathuba okusinda engozini.

Okokugcina, uma udinga usizo lokufaka isihlalo semoto sikaJunior esisha esicwebezelayo (njengoba kunjalo, sibabaze ngenkathi ukwazi), ungama kunoma yisiphi isiteshi samaphoyisa, isiteshi sezicishamlilo; noma esibhedlela ukuze uthole usizo. Iwebhusayithi ye-NHTSA futhi inamavidiyo edemo wenqubo yokufaka.
