Izihlalo zezimoto zingasetshenziswa ngokusebenzisa izindlela ezimbili ezahlukene - ibhande lesigqoko semoto noma i-LATCH, emele ama-Anchors aphansi kanye namaTethers for Children. Abazali abaningi bazibuza ukuthi yikuphi okuphephile kunayo yonke ingane yabo noma ingane encane. Kokubili i-LATCH nebhande lesikhulu ziphephile ngendlela efanayo ngokujwayelekile, kodwa ngabe kukhona okuphephile kuneyomunye kuxhomeke ngokuphelele kumntanakho, imoto yakho, nawe.
Enye indlela yokufaka kufanele ikhethwe ngokucophelela esihlalweni somntwana wakho, noma kunjalo. Akuphephile ukusebenzisa kokubili i-LATCH ne-seatbelt ukufaka isihlalo semoto.
I-Seat Belt
I-seatbelt yemoto ingasetshenziswa njalo endleleni yendabuko, lapho idluliselwa khona emigwaqweni yamabhande esihlalo sobukhosi futhi ikhonjwe ngaphakathi. Isihlalo se-seatbelt ngokwayo sivaliwe futhi siqinisiwe, noma ukukhiya okuzakhelwe esihlalweni semoto sibophezelekile ubambe isihlalo semoto endaweni eqinile.
Inzuzo yokufakwa kwamakhansela esihlalo sobukhosi ukuthi amabhande asezihlalo alula kakhulu ukuthola kuwo imoto. Uma usuvele ufunde ukufaka isihlalo semoto emotweni eyodwa, kungcono kakhulu isikhathi sokuyihambisa kwenye imoto ngoba usuvele uyayazi ukuthi yiziphi izindlela zebhande ozisebenzisayo nokuthi ungazibandakanya noma yikuphi ukukhiya. Ungakwazi futhi ukufaka isihlalo semoto ezimotweni ezindala futhi asinawo amahange wenqubo ye-LATCH. Ungakwazi ukufaka isihlalo semoto cishe nganoma yikuphi ukuma kwemoto ngaphandle kwesihlalo somshayeli, futhi, njengoba ungagcini ezikhundleni ezinamahange aphansi.
Uma ingane yakho isalokhu ibhekene nobuso obuphezulu, awukwazi ukufaka isihlalo semoto phambi kwe-airbag yangaphakathi esebenzayo.
Enye inzuzo yokufaka isihlalo se-seatbelt yinto elula yokusebenzisa imoto yokuvala isikhala esisha esisha. Ezinye izihlalo zezimoto zinendlela yokukhiya ephoqa futhi iqinisa isikhwama sekhanda ngenomzamo omncane kakhulu.
Isibonelo esisodwa isihlalo somoto seBrithani Marathon Chofoza. Uvula isiqephu sesitulo semoto njenge-trunk lid, thungatha isihlalo sobukhosi, bese uvale isiqeshana somuthi we-trunk ukuze ufake ukuqina. Kuyinto elula kakhulu.
Ngisho noma ngabe ujwayele izinhlelo ezihlukahlukene zokubamba izihlalo nokuthi zingasetshenziswa kanjani ukufaka isihlalo somoto, kufanele uhlole ibhukwana lomnikazi wemoto. Kuzokutshela ukuthi ungayifaka kanjani ibhande lesikhulu uma kunesidingo futhi uzonikeza imininingwane ebalulekile yokufaka imoto yakho.
Ukufakwa kwe-LATCH
Ukufakwa kwe-LATCH kutholakale iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-15 manje, futhi kunamalungu amaningi. Emotweni, kunezinhlayiya zamahange ezincane ezibukeka sengathi zithinta izinsimbi. Lezi zikhathi ezithile zihlala zingena emzimbeni noma zihlaselwe esihlalweni semoto, noma ngezinye izikhathi ziphuma ngaphandle kwesihlalo. Izimoto eziningi zinamahange amabili aphansi, esisodwa esikhwameni ngasinye sokuphuma esihlalweni sobukhosi. Izimoto ezimbalwa zingase zibe namaqoqo ezinsimbi ezincane kuzo zonke izikhundla ezintathu ezingemuva. Ezimotweni ezinegceke lesithathu lokuhlala, amasethingi angaphansi ahange angahlukaniswa phakathi kwemigqa ephakathi nendawo yesithathu. Kuyoba khona ithegi, inkinobho, noma uphawu olusekelwe phansi lwe-anchor ukukutshela ukuthi izikhonkwane ezingezansi ziphi emotweni.
Ngisho noma ungakwazi ukuthola kalula amahange angaphansi, kufanele ufunde ngesigaba se-LATCH somqulu wemnikazi wakho wemoto. Kuzokunikeza iseluleko sokufaka esithile emotweni yakho.
Ihange le-tether yingxenye yesibili yesistimu ye-LATCH emotweni yakho. Kubonakala sengathi ihange eliphansi, kodwa lilodwa kuphela futhi livame ukubeka ngemuva kwesihlalo semoto, yize izimoto eziningi zinehange eliphansi phansi ngemuva kwesihlalo okuhlosiwe kuso. Ezinye izimoto, ngokuvamile ama-SUVs, zinamathanga wokubopha esilingweni ngenhla nangemva kwesihlalo sangemuva. Ibhukwana lomnikazi wemoto lingakunika indawo ngqo kunoma yiziphi izinsimbi ezinamathele emotweni yakho.
Kuzoba khona ihange lokubamba ukuhamba ngeqoqo ngalinye lamahange angaphansi, futhi kungase kube nezinsimbi ezengeziwe zokufaka ama-anchor, futhi, angasetshenziswa kanye nokufakwa kwesibhande sokuhlala. Ukuze amaloli aqoshiwe, amahange angamahle angase abuke kakhulu kunezinye izimoto. Bangase babe yizikhonkwane zokubhula esikhundleni sensimbi. Kumele ufunde ibhukwana lomnikazi wemoto ukuze ufunde ukuthi ungasebenzisa kanjani lolu hlobo lwe-anchor tether. Ngenye yezinhlobo kuphela lapho isihlalo somlilo esingaphezu kweyodwa singabelana ngehange.
Ingxenye yesithathu yesistimu ye-LATCH isesikhundleni semoto ngokwayo. Kuzoba ne-strap eyodwa ye-webbing, noma ibhande elihlanganiswe ohlangothini ngalunye lwesitulo semoto, ngezixhumi ezithinta izinsimbi eziphansi. Ezinye izihlalo zezimoto zinesistimu yokunamathisela eqinile kunokubamba. Lokhu kuqukethe izingcezu ezihleliwe ezigxila esihlalweni semoto futhi zivele zichofozwe kuma-ankle aphansi emotweni. Isihlalo semoto, njengoba singasetshenziselwa phambili, sizoba nesitezi esiphezulu. Ekupheleni kwe-tether is a connector ukuthi izingwegwe ku-anether in the car.
Inzuzo enkulu yenqubo ye-LATCH ilula ukusetshenziswa. Kwaklanyelwe ukuba kungabi nokhuseleko kunebhande lesikhulu, kodwa ukuze kube lula ukufakwa kwesihlalo semoto ngakho abazali akudingeki bafunde mayelana nokukhiya izinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene zamabhande esihlalo. Kwezinye izihlalo zezimoto, izihlalo ezibheke emotweni ezibheke phambili, enye inzuzo yokufakwa ngamahange angaphansi ukuthi isihlalo semoto asikwazi ukugxila eceleni ngenxa yecindezelo evela engxenyeni yehlombe yesibambo somhlalo wezimoto. Ezinye izihlalo zezimoto zinikeza kalula kalula ukufakwa nge-LATCH.
Bheka ibhukwana lemfundo yokuhlala emotweni ukuze uthole ulwazi ngezicucu ezithile ze-LATCH esihlalweni sakho semoto, kufaka phakathi indlela yokuhambisa ibhande lebhubhiso uma kungesihlalo sezimoto esiphendukekayo esingasetshenziswa emuva nangaphambili. Amalebula okuhlala emotweni ohlangothini azophinde anikeze izikhombisi-ndlela eziyisisekelo ekusetshenzisweni kwe-LATCH.
Yikuphi okuphephile kwengane yami?
Konke kuvela lapho indlela yokufaka isebenza kangcono emotweni yakho nokuthi iyiphi ongayisebenzisa kalula nangendlela efanele ngaso sonke isikhathi. Uma ufuna ukufaka isihlalo semoto endaweni ephakathi kwesikhungo, lokho kungadinga ukusebenzisa ibhande lesikhulu. Izimoto eziningi azikho isethi yamahange aphansi azinikezele esihlalweni esiphakathi, futhi abaningi abavumeli ukusetshenziswa kwe-anchors zangaphandle ezivela ngaphakathi ngakunye ukufakwa phakathi. Hlola ibhukwana lomnikazi wemoto ukuze ubone ukuthi lokhu kuvunyelwe yini. Kuzodingeka futhi uthintane nobunikazi bomnikazi wendawo yemoto kusukela isikhala sokuhlala isikhungo singase singabi-standard futhi singase singasebenzi nezixhumi zezihlalo zemoto.
Kungenzeka ukuthi uzwile ukuthi isihlalo esiphakathi yisiphephelo, okuyiqiniso, isibalo. Uma kulula kakhulu ukufaka isihlalo semoto yengane yakho ngokufanele ne-LATCH, kuyamukeleka ngokuphelele ukusebenzisa esinye sezikhundla zokuhlala ngaphandle ukukwenza njalo uma i-LATCH ingatholakali phakathi noma ayikusebenzeli kahle khona. Uma umkhiqizi wemoto ebeka amahange angaphansi futhi ama-tethers ezindaweni ezingaphandle, ngokucacile wayehlose ukuba izingane zigibele lapho, futhi imoto ihlolwe ngaleyo ndlela.
Isisindo somntanakho sithinta nokuphepha kwendlela yokufaka. Izihlalo zezimoto namuhla zibhalwe ngesisindo esiphezulu sokufakwa ngamahange angaphansi. Uma isihlalo somoto wengane yakho sinomkhawulo wesisindo esiphakeme, cishe kuzodingeka ushintshele ekufakweni kwesihlalo se-seatbelt ngesikhathi esithile, noma ngabe ususebenzise ngempumelelo i-LATCH ngaphambilini. Ibhukwana lezinyawo lemoto lizonikeza imininingwane ngesikhathi sokushintsha phakathi kwe-LATCH nekhanda lokuhlala.
Ngaphambi kokuba unqume ukuthi ungayifaka kanjani isihlalo somoto wengane yakho, zama zonke izikhundla zokuhlala ngezihlalo nebhande lokuhlala kanye ne-LATCH, uma itholakala. Thola isiqondiso esivela kubhukwana lomnikazi wemoto kanye nencwadi yemfundo yokuhlala emotweni. Cela uchwepheshe wezokuphepha wabanikazi oqinisekisiwe uma udinga usizo olungeziwe. Ngezansi-indlela yokufaka ephephile kakhulu eyona elula kakhulu ukuthi usebenzise kahle njalo lapho ingane yakho imoto.
