Izihlalo zokuphepha kwezingane

Izihlalo zokuphepha kwezingane kufakazelwa ukuthi zisindisa izimpilo zezingane ezingozini.

E-United States, zonke izifundazwe zidinga ukuthi izingane zivikeleke esihlalweni semoto noma esihlalweni se-booster zize zifinyelele kuzidingo ezithile zokuphakama noma isisindo. Lokhu kuyehluka ngezwe. Iningi lezingane likhula likhulu ngokwanele ukuhambisa ibhande lesihlalo eliphakathi kweminyaka eyi-8 nengu-12 ubudala.

Ukugcina ingane yakho iphephile, gcina lawa macebiso engqondweni uma usebenzisa isihlalo sokuphepha emotweni.

• Lapho ingane yakho izalwa, kufanele ube nesihlalo semoto ukuletha ingane ekhaya ivela esibhedlela.
• Hlala uvikela ingane yakho esihlalweni semoto noma nini lapho uhamba ngemoto. Qiniseka ukuthi amahanisi aboshiwe kahle.
• Funda imiyalelo yomkhiqizi wesihlalo semoto ngendlela efanele yokusebenzisa isihlalo. Funda ibhukwana lomnikazi wemoto yakho, futhi.
• Izihlalo zezimoto nezihlalo zokulekelela kufanele zisetshenziswe njalo esihlalweni esingemuva semoto. Uma kungekho sihlalo sangemuva, isihlalo semoto singavikeleka esihlalweni sabagibeli bangaphambili. Lokhu kungenziwa KUPHELA uma kungekho ngaphambili noma eceleni isikhwama somoya, noma isikhwama somoya sicishiwe.
• Ngisho nangemva kokuba izingane sezikhule ngokwanele ukuba zingabopha ibhande, ukugibela esihlalweni esingemuva kuphephe kakhulu.

Lapho ukhetha isihlalo sokuphepha kwengane okokuqala ngqa:

• Isihlalo kufanele silingane nosayizi wengane yakho futhi sikwazi ukufakwa kahle emotweni yakho.
• Kungcono ukusebenzisa isihlalo esisha semoto. Izihlalo zemoto ezisetshenzisiwe kaningi azinayo imiyalelo. Zingaba nemifantu noma ezinye izinkinga ezenza ukuthi isihlalo singaphephi. Isibonelo, isihlalo kungenzeka silimele ngesikhathi sengozi yemoto.
• Zama isihlalo ngaphambi kokuthenga. Faka isihlalo emotweni yakho. Beka ingane yakho esihlalweni semoto. Vikela amahanisi ne-buckle. Bheka ukuthi isihlalo siyifanele yini imoto yakho nengane yakho.
• UNGASisebenzisi isihlalo semoto ngaphambi kwesikhathi sokuphelelwa yisikhathi. Uhlaka lwesihlalo kungenzeka ukuthi alusenamandla ngokwanele okuxhasa ingane yakho ngokuphepha. Isikhathi sokuphelelwa yisikhathi sivame ukuba ngaphansi kwesihlalo.
• Ungasisebenzisi isihlalo esikhunjulwe. Gcwalisa bese uthumela ikhadi lokubhalisa eliza nesihlalo semoto esisha. Umenzi angaxhumana nawe uma isihlalo sikhunjulwa. Ungathola ngokukhumbula ngokuxhumana nomenzi, noma ngokubheka amarekhodi ezikhalazo zokuphepha esihlalweni sokuphepha kwengane yakho ku-www.safercar.gov/parents/CarSeats/Car-Seat-Safety.htm.

Izinhlobo zezihlalo zokuphepha kanye nezithiyo zifaka:

• Izihlalo ezibheke emuva
• Izihlalo ezibheke phambili
• Izihlalo zokulekelela
• Imibhede yemoto
• Izihlalo zemoto ezakhelwe ngaphakathi
• Amavesti wokuhamba

IZIHLALO EZIBUKE NGEMUVA

Isihlalo esibheke emuva yiso lapho ingane yakho ibheke khona ngemuva emotweni. Isihlalo kufanele sifakwe esihlalweni esingemuva semoto yakho. Izinhlobo ezimbili zezihlalo ezibheke emuva izihlalo zabantwana kuphela nesihlalo esiguqukayo.

Izihlalo ezibheke emuva ezinganeni kuphela. Lezi zihlalo ezenzelwe izingane ezinesisindo esifinyelela kumakhilogremu angama-22 kuye kwangama-30 (amakhilogremu ayi-10 kuye kwayi-13.5), kuya ngesihlalo semoto. Uzodinga isihlalo esisha lapho ingane yakho ikhula. Izingane eziningi zikhula kulezi zihlalo lapho zineminyaka engu-8 kuya kwengu-9. Izihlalo zezingane kuphela ezinezibambo ukuze ukwazi ukuthwala isihlalo ukuya nokubuya emotweni. Abanye bane-base ongashiya ifakiwe emotweni. Lokhu kukuvumela ukuthi uchofoze isihlalo semoto endaweni ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho usisebenzisa. Landela imiyalo yomkhiqizi yokuthi isihlalo kufanele sihlaliswe kanjani ukuze ikhanda lengane yakho lingashintshi lapho ushayela.

Izihlalo eziguqukayo. Lezi zihlalo kufanele zibekwe endaweni ebheke emuva futhi zenzelwe izingane nezinsana. Lapho ingane yakho isikhulile futhi inkulu, isihlalo singashintshelwa endaweni ebheke phambili. Ochwepheshe batusa ukugcina ingane yakho ibheke emuva kuze kube yilapho okungenani ineminyaka engama-3 futhi kuze kube yilapho ingane yakho ingaphezulu kwesisindo noma ukuphakama okuvunyelwe yisihlalo.

IZIHLALO EZIBUKE PHAMBILI

Isihlalo esibheke phambili kufanele sifakwe esihlalweni esingemuva semoto yakho, yize sivumela ingane yakho ukuthi ibhekane nengaphambili lemoto. Lezi zihlalo zisetshenziswa kuphela ngemuva kokuthi ingane yakho inkulu kakhulu ukuba isihlalo esibheke emuva.

Isihlalo se-booster esiya phambili esibheke phambili singasetshenziswa. Ezinganeni ezincane, kufanele kusetshenziswe izintambo zokubopha izihlalo ze-booster. Ngemuva kokuthi ingane yakho ifinyelele kumkhawulo ongaphezulu nobukhulu besisindo sehhanisi (ngokuya ngemiyalo yesihlalo), amabhande emoto ethanga kanye namahlombe angasetshenziswa ukugcina ingane yakho iboshwe.

IZIHLALO ZE-BOOSTER

Isihlalo se-booster sikhulisa ingane yakho ukuze amabhande emoto namahlombe alingane kahle. Ibhande le-lap kufanele liwele emathangeni aphezulu engane yakho. Ibhande lehlombe kufanele liwele maphakathi nehlombe nesifuba sengane yakho.

Sebenzisa izihlalo zokulekelela izingane ezindala zize zikhule ngokwanele ukuba zilingane kahle nebhande lesihlalo. Ibhande le-lap kufanele lilingane liphansi futhi liqineke emathangeni aphezulu, futhi ibhande lehlombe kufanele lilingane kahle ehlombe nasesifubeni futhi lingaweli entanyeni noma ebusweni. Imilenze yengane kufanele ibe yinde ngokwanele ukuze izinyawo zikwazi ukuba yicaba phansi. Iningi lezingane lingagqoka ibhande lesikhathi esithile phakathi kweminyaka eyi-8 nengu-12.

IMIBhede YEMOTO

Lezi zihlalo zibizwa nangokuthi izihlalo zemoto ezicaba. Zisetshenziselwa izingane ezingaphambi kwesikhathi noma ezinye izidingo ezikhethekile. I-American Academy of Pediatrics incoma ukuba nomhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo abheke ukuthi ingane yakho ezalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi ifanela kanjani futhi iphefumula kanjani esihlalweni semoto ngaphambi kokuphuma esibhedlela.

Izihlalo ezakhiwe

Ezinye izimoto zinezihlalo zezimoto ezakhelwe ngaphakathi. Imikhawulo yesisindo nokuphakama iyahlukahluka. Ungathola imininingwane eminingi kulezi zihlalo ngokufunda ibhukwana lomnikazi wemoto noma ushayele abakhiqizi bezimoto.

IZIHAMBO ZOKUHAMBA

Amavesti akhethekile angagqokwa yizingane ezindala esezikhulile izihlalo zokuphepha ezibheke phambili. Amavesti angasetshenziswa esikhundleni sezihlalo zokulekelela. Amavesti asetshenziswa ethangeni nasemabhande esihlalo. Njengasezihlalweni zemoto, izingane kufanele zihlale esihlalweni esingemuva lapho zisebenzisa ivesti.
