After the formal implementation on July 1, the newly designed and newly developed child safety seat must meet the standards. Various conditions. For example, the acceleration should not exceed the specified range when encountering a collision, and it is required to have a certain anti-rolling performance, and the material should be selected for flame retardancy. This standard has been prepared since 2003 and is based on the most advanced EU standards.

In a family car, many parents are accustomed to having the child sit alone in an adult seat, use a seat belt or hold the child in his arms. This can cause fatal injuries to children in the event of a car collision, so the correct child occupant restraint system is required.
