Abazali abaningi babuza ukuthi ingane yabo kufanele ihlale isikhathi esingakanani esihlalweni semoto esibheke ngemuva. Empeleni, ayikho umugqa wesikhathi esiqondile! Ukubusa kwesithupha manje ukuthi abantwana kufanele babe sezimoto ezibhekene nezimbangela zangesikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka, kumingcele yesihlalo semoto.
Ukugijima ubuso obheke emuva kuze kube yilapho okungenani iminyaka engu-2, futhi uma kunokwenzeka uma kunokwenzeka, kunezinzuzo ezinkulu zokuphepha abazali okufanele bazicabangele ngokuqinile.
Eqinisweni, ukutadisha kwakamuva kakhulu kule ndaba kubonisa ukuthi izingane ezisencane ziphephile izikhathi ezinhlanu uma zihlala zibheke emuva kuze kube seminyaka emibili .
Ukuguqula isihlalo semoto esiseduze akuyona into ebaluleke kakhulu yokusheshisa. Empeleni isinyathelo sokuphepha, ngakho-ke ungasheshi ukwenza inkinobho enkulu!
Iseluleko Esidala
Kungenzeka ukuthi uzwile ukuthi izingane zingakwazi ukugibela phambili zibhekene nomnyaka owodwa ubudala noma amakhilogremu angu-20 ezivela emithonjeni eminingi enembile. Yilokho izinga elidala, noma kunjalo. Zonke izingane ziphephile uma zihlala esihlalweni semoto esibheke emuva engaphezu konyaka. Ngenxa yezilinganiso eziphezulu ezibhekene nesisindo sangemuva emiphakathini yemoto, cishe zonke izingane ezisencane zingase zihlale zibhekene neminyaka emibili nangaphezulu. Abanye bathi e-US sebeqalile ukuvuselela imithetho yokuphepha yabantwaba babo ukuze badinga ukubhekana ngemuva kuze kube seminyaka yobudala.
Izifunda eziningi zinezinqubo ezithi umntwana wakho kufanele abe unyaka owodwa ukugibela esihlalweni semoto esibheke phambili, futhi izihlalo eziningi zezimoto nazo ziyasebenzisa leyo ndlela encane.
Ukubona ukuthi "unyaka ongu-1 ubudala" okuphrintiwe eceleni "kwesigungu esibheke phambili emotweni" kuholela emindenini eminingi ukukholelwa ukuthi iphephile kancinci yabo ukushintshela phambili ibheke kakhulu kakhulu.
Abazali abasha nabo ngokwemvelo bavakashela umndeni wabo nabangane ngokuhlangenwe nakho kobuzali uma kuziwa iseluleko sokuphepha esihlalweni semoto. Uma umndeni wakho nabangani beyiminyaka embalwa nje yokuba nezingane ezisanda kuzalwa nezinsana, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungenzeka, nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi izeluleko zabo zokuhlala emotweni ziphelelwe yisikhathi.
Kungani Kuqala-Ukubhekana?
Izihlalo zezimoto zenzelwe ukuthatha amabutho ahlasele futhi zisakaze amabutho e-crash asele endaweni enkulu emzimbeni. Kubantu abadala, izibhande zokuhlala zihambisa amandla ezingxenyeni ezinamandla kunazo zonke zomzimba, iziqhwa namahlombe. Izinsana azikho izingxenye zomzimba eziningi ezinamandla ngokwanele ukulwa namandla okuqhuma, ngakho-ke isihlalo esibhekene nemoto esibhekene nomuva sisakaza amabutho ahlasele yonke emuva, entanyeni nasekhanda, ukubeka ukucindezeleka okuncane kunoma iyiphi ingxenye eyodwa yomzimba. Inhloko yesana, enkulu futhi enzima kakhulu entanyeni encane yetekisi ukusekela, iphinde isekelwe kangcono ngesitulo esibhekene nemoto esibhekile.
Ngokombiko wohlelo lwe-Pediatrics ka-Ephreli 2011, amathambo nemigqa yomgogodla wengane ingakwazi ukwelula ngamasentimitha angu-2, kanti intambo yomgogodla ngokwalo ingakwazi ukwelula kuphela i-1/4 intshi. Lokho kusho ukuthi uma umgogodla uphoqeleka ukuba usuleke ekuqhumeni, intambo yomgogodla isengozini yokuphuka, ishiya ingane enomonakalo wobuchopho noma ukukhubazeka. Ukukhubazeka okukhulu kwekhanda nentamo yezingane kanye nezinsana kuncishiswe kakhulu ezindaweni ezibhekene nemoto.
Ukwesekwa okungeziwe kanye nendlela ihlalo elibhekene nemoto elibheke ngayo ngemuva kokuphazamisa linikeza ingane yakho ithuba elihle lokusinda kanye nethuba elincane lokulimala ekupheleleni.
Indlela elula yokulinganisa amandla okuphahlazeka isisindo sezinyathelo zesisindo. Izingane eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-10 ezihamba nge-30 mph crash zizobhekana namaphilisi angu-300 wamandla. Isihlalo esibhekene nemoto esibhekene nomuva sisakazeka ukuthi amakhilogremu angu-300 emandla angaphezu komzimba omkhulu, okubangela ukulimala kancane kwengane. Uma ungathanda ukuboniswa okusheshayo kohlobo, hlola le vidiyo ngokuqhathanisa izihlalo ezibhekene nezimo ezibhekene nezimo ezibhekene nazo ngemuva kokuhlolwa kwe-crash.
Umntwana Wami Ufuna Ukuhamba Ngaphambili!
Ngisho noma imilenze yengane yakho isithinta isihlalo esibuyiselwe emuva, noma umntwana uyakhala lapho ekhangele emuva, kufanele ugcine ingane ibhekene naso kuze kube yilapho efika ngesisindo esibhekene naso ngemuva noma ukuphakama kokuphakama kwesihlalo semoto.
Izihlalo eziningi zemoto eziguqulwayo zinezilinganiso ezibhekene namasentimitha angama-35-40 manje, ngakho-ke kufanele ukwazi ukugcina ubuso bakho obubheke emuva ngemuva kweminyaka engu-2, uma kungenjalo. Ezinye izingane azifuni ukuhlala esihlalweni semoto, futhi zingase zikhale. Noma kunjalo, ukuvinjelwa ngokufanele kwenza kube lula ukuthi umntwana noma ingane encane izosinda ekupheleleni ukukhala ngolunye usuku. Ungakwazi ukubuka igalari yezintambo ezibhekiswe emuva ezikude ukuze ubone izithombe zezingane ezincane ezindala futhi zigibele ngokuphepha.
Abazali abaningi bakhathazeka ngokuthi ingane yabo izobhekana nemilenze ephukile lapho kushayisana ngoba imilenze yengane ithinta isihlalo emuva noma ibheke kancane lapho ibhekene naso. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula, noma kunjalo, ukuthi ekushoneni okukhulu ngokwanele ukuphula imilenze yengane, kuzoba nemandla okwanele okubangela ukulimala kanzima uma ingane yakho noma ingane encane ibheke phambili. Nakuba kungakaze kujabulise ukukhetha phakathi kokulimala, ithuba lokuthola ngokugcwele likhulu emilenzeni ephukile kunezintamo eziphukile. Ngokufanayo, uma ingane yakho iqhuma ngenkathi isihlalo sebhebhe esibheke emuva, kungase kubonakale kulula ukuguqula umntwana ukuze amjabulise. Kodwa futhi, ukhetha phakathi komntwana ohlukunyezwayo noma ithuba lekhanda elinzima, intamo kanye nokulimala komgogodla.
Udinga i Seat Car Car for Un-Year-Old?
Lapho izingane ziphenduka enye, abazali abaningi bacabanga ngokuthuthela phambili esihlalweni esibhekene nebheyili esasemuva nesibamba sithwali. Kuningi lokukhetha uma udinga isihlalo somoto esisha sonyaka oneminyaka engu-1 ! Khumbula, iziphakamiso zokuphepha kwezihlalo zemoto zincoma ukuthi abantwana bahlale esihlalweni semoto esibhekene naleso sangemuva kumkhawulo wesisindo sesihlalo noma okungenani kuze kube neminyaka engu-2, ngakho-ke uzofuna ukuthola isihlalo semoto esingasebenza kokubili futhi sibheke phambili -kubukeka. Bheka isihlalo somoto esiphendukekayo esilinganisweni esiphezulu sesisindo somzimba nesigxobo esikhulu, bese ulisebenzisa ngokubhekiselwe emuva ngemuva kwesikhathi.
Izihlalo eziningana zezimoto namuhla zinezilinganiso ezibhekene nesisindo esingaphansi kwamakhilogremu angu-50, okumele zithole ingane ephakathi kweminyaka engu-4 futhi mhlawumbe ingaphesheya. Kumele ubuyekeze umkhawulo wokuphakama obheke ukukhiqiza ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ingane ayikho ende kakhulu ukuhlala ngokuphepha ngokubhekene nomkhawulo wesisindo. Intsha encane kufanele ikwazi ukuhlala ibheke emuva kungaphezu kweminyaka emibili.
Kungani ungathanda ukugcina ingane yakho ibheke emuva? Idatha ye-crash isitshengisa ukuthi noma ubani uvikelekile ekushoneni lapho egibele ubuso obuseduze ngenxa yezizathu ezichazwe ngenhla. Ngisho noma intamo yengane yakho ingase ibe namandla ngokwanele ukulwa nezinye izinhlobo zamandla obhekene ne-crash, ibhekene nokuvikeleka kangcono esihlalweni semoto esibheke emuva ngoba isihlalo sisaqhubeka sisakaza amandla phezu komzimba omkhulu futhi sisanikeza ukusekela kangcono ikhanda nentambo yabo encane.
Okubalulekile
Isihlalo esibheke emotweni esibheke emuva sinikeza ukuvikeleka okungcono kunabantwana nezinsana futhi kufanele zisetshenziswe kahle ngangokunokwenzeka, kumkhawulo wesihlalo semoto. Akusekho ukunconywa ukuvula ingane yakho masinyane ngonyaka owodwa namakhilogremu angu-20. Ucwaningo olwenziwa ngo-2007 ku-Journal of Injury Prevention lwalubonisa ukuthi izingane ezincane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-2 zingamaphesenti angama-75 amathuba okufa noma ukulimala kanzima ekushoneni. Ngokusho kwe-NHTSA, isihlalo esibheke emotweni esibheke ngemuva siphephelo esingamaphesenti angu-71 kunanoma yikuphi ukuvinjelwa nhlobo, futhi isihlalo esihamba phambili semoto singamaphesenti angu-54 esiphephelo kunokuba kungabi nakukho ukuvimbela. Ukugcina ingane yakho ibhekene nomkhawulo wesihlalo kuyisinqumo esiphephile kakhulu. Ungabheka ibhuku lemfundo yokuhlala emotweni noma amalebuli emaceleni okuhlala emotweni ukuze uthole isisindo esibhekene nesisindo nesimo sokuphakama.
