Sifaka imikhiqizo esicabanga ukuthi ilusizo kubafundi bethu. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi ezikuleli khasi, singathola ikhomishini encane. Nansi inqubo yethu.

Izidingo

Kubo bonke ubuntwana bengane yakho, uzothembela ezihlalweni zezimoto noma ezihlalweni zokuzivikela ukuze uzigcine uphephile ngenkathi ushayela.

I-United States ilawula izihlalo zezimoto ukuhlangabezana nezindinganiso zokuphepha, futhi kunezihlalo ezehlukene zezingane zeminyaka yonke nosayizi. Le mithethonqubo iyefana kuzo zonke izifundazwe kepha ingahluka kunemithetho kwamanye amazwe.

Uzokwazi ukuthi ingane yakho isilungele i-booster lapho:

• okungenani aneminyaka engu-4 ubudala futhi okungenani amasentimitha angama-35 (88 cm) ubude
• sebekhulile esihlalweni sabo semoto esibheke phambili

Uzophinda ufune ukulandela imihlahlandlela ethile yesihlalo se-booster osisebenzisayo.

Zonke izihlalo zemoto nezihlalo zokulekelela zenzelwe futhi zalebulwa ngobude bazo kanye nemikhawulo yesisindo. Landela le mihlahlandlela ukuze unqume ukuthi isihlalo esithile sikulungele yini ukuphakama nesisindo sengane yakho nokuthi unqume ukuthi isidlulile nini isihlalo samanje.

Ingane isiphumile isihlalo sayo semoto esibheke phambili lapho ukuphakama noma isisindo sayo seqa umkhawulo waleso sihlalo.

Izigaba ezintathu zezihlalo zemoto

Izingane ngokuvamile zihamba ngezigaba ezintathu zezihlalo zemoto:

Isihlalo semoto esibheke emuva

I-American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) incoma ukuthi izingane zihlale ezihlalweni ezibheke emuva kuze kube yiminyaka emibili, noma zize zifinyelele ebangeni noma esihlalweni semoto. Ngokuvamile lokho kungamakhilogremu angama-30 kuye kwangama-60 (13.6 kuya ku-27.2 kg), kuya ngesihlalo.

Uma ingane idlula isihlalo sayo semoto esibheke ngemuva ngaphambi kweminyaka yobudala engu-2, kunconywa isihlalo semoto esiguqukayo esibekwe ngemuva.

Isihlalo semoto esibheke phambili

Sebenzisa isihlalo semoto esibheke phambili kuze kube okungenani ubuneminyaka engu-4, futhi kuze kube yilapho ingane yakho ifinyelela umkhawulo wokuphakama noma wesisindo sesihlalo sayo. Lokho kungaba noma yikuphi kusuka kumakhilogremu angama-60 kuye kwayi-100 (27.2 kuye ku-45.4kg) kuya ngesihlalo.

Isihlalo sokulekelela

Lapho ingane yakho isidlula isihlalo sayo semoto, isazodinga isihlalo sokulekelela ukuyisiza ilingane kahle isihlalo semoto yakho nebhande lokuphepha ize ibe ngaphezu kwamasentimitha angu-145 ubude. Futhi kufanele bahlale ngemuva emotweni yakho baze babe neminyaka engu-13 ubudala.

Kungani izihlalo ze-booster zibalulekile?

Yize abantu abaningi besebenzisa amabhande esihlalo namuhla kunanini ngaphambili, izingozi zemoto zihlala ziyimbangela ehamba phambili yokufa kwezingane ezineminyaka engu-1 kuya kwengu-13. Noma ngabe wena noma ingane yakho kungenzeka nizimisele ukusuka ezihlalweni zezimoto ngokuphelele, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi yenza kanjalo kusenesikhathi.

Ibhande lokuphepha emotweni lenzelwe ukulingana nokusebenzela abantu abadala. Izihlalo zokulekelela ngokoqobo “zithuthukisa” ingane yakho ukuze ibhande lezokuphepha lisebenzele yona kangcono. Ngaphandle kwe-booster, amabhande ezihlalo zemoto ngeke ayivikele ingane yakho futhi empeleni angayilimaza uma esengozini yemoto.

Izinhlobo zezihlalo zokulekelela

Izihlalo ze-booster zihlukile kunezihlalo zemoto. Izihlalo zemoto zivikelekile emotweni futhi zisebenzisa ibhande lokuphepha elinamaphuzu ayi-5. Isihlalo sokulekelela asifakiwe emotweni futhi asinabhande laso lokuphepha. Ihlala nje esihlalweni, nengane yakho ihlale kuso bese iyazibophela ngebhande lemoto uqobo.
