Car Seats by Petite&Mars: Safety First
Ensuring the safety of children is a priority for every parent, which is why choosing the right car seat is one of the most important decisions you will make when caring for your child. Petite&Mars offers a wide range of car seats that meet the latest safety standards and provide maximum protection for your child. In this article, we will not only introduce you to various models of Petite&Mars car seats but also explain the importance of using car seats and transitioning to the new i-Size ECE R129 standard.
Why is a Car Seat Essential?
A car seat is a fundamental safety feature for every child while traveling in a car. Statistics show that the correct use of a car seat can significantly reduce the risk of serious injury in a traffic accident. Children are much more vulnerable than adults during travel because their bodies are smaller and less resilient to impacts. A car seat provides the necessary support and protection, reducing the risk of injury.
The New i-Size ECE R129 Standard: What Does It Bring?
i-Size is a new European car seat standard introduced to improve child safety in cars. The i-Size standard (ECE R129) brings several key changes compared to the older ECE R44 standard:
- Side Impact Protection: i-Size places greater emphasis on side impact protection, increasing the safety of children in case of an accident.
- Height-Based Selection: While the older standard considered the child’s weight, i-Size focuses on the child’s height, allowing for more accurate adjustment of the car seat.
- Use of ISOFIX: i-Size supports the use of ISOFIX attachments, reducing the risk of incorrect car seat installation.
