Isihlalo semoto singesinye sezimpahla ezibaluleke kakhulu ozozithenga njengomzali omusha.
Ingenye yemikhiqizo kuphela oyoke uyithengele ingane yakho enamandla okusindisa impilo yayo. Akukhona lokho kuphela, kodwa awukwazi ukuletha ingane ekhaya isuka esibhedlela ngaphandle kwayo!
Uyazibuza ukuthi ungaqala ngaphi?
Kunezinhlobo ezintathu eziyisisekelo zezihlalo zemoto zamasana nabantwana abasacathula: ezibheke ngemuva, ezibheke phambili neziguqukayo, eziguqula ukusuka ngemuva ukuya phambili. Ngokusho kwe-American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), izingane kufanele zihlale esihlalweni semoto esibheke ngemuva isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka, zize zifinyelele isisindo esiphezulu noma ubude obuvunyelwe yisihlalo sazo. (Phambilini, i-AAP yeluleke ukuthi izingane kufanele zihlale zibheke ngemuva okungenani zibe neminyaka emi-2, kodwa isincomo sakamuva sisusa ingqophamlando ethile yobudala.)
Njengoba ingane yakho ikhula, kuzodingeka ushintshe indlela isihlalo sakhe semoto esibheke ngayo nokuthi uhlala kanjani kuso - futhi kungase kudingeke uthenge isihlalo esisha. Bheka lo mhlahlandlela weminyaka yobudala wokugcina ukuhamba kwemoto kuphephile kumntanakho.
Izihlalo Zemoto Zezingane
Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zezihlalo zemoto zezingane, futhi zombili izinhlobo zezihlalo ziphephe ngokulinganayo, ngakho uhlobo olukhethayo luncike kulokho okuthandwa nguwe. Lezi yizinketho zakho lapho uthengela usana isihlalo semoto:
Isihlalo semoto yezingane kuphela
Isihlalo semoto yezingane kuphela singasetshenziswa kuze kube yilapho ingane inesisindo esingamaphawundi angu-20 kuya kwangu-22 noma ikhanda layo lingaphakathi kweyintshi elingu-1 phezulu kwesihlalo. Ngokuvamile anesisindo esilula futhi aklanyelwe ukuphatheka kalula.
Abazali abaningi bakhetha ukuba lula komthwali wosana ngoba isihlalo singasuswa emotweni ngaphandle kokuqaqa futhi mhlawumbe ukuvusa umntwana olele. Isihlalo sesihlalo semoto sihlala siboshelwe emotweni; isithwali simane singene siphume esisekelweni.
Izihlalo zezingane kuphela nazo zifanelekile ngoba zingachofoza kusisekelo sezinqola. Ngakho-ke lapho uthenga inkampani yenethiwekhi yosana, qiniseka ukuthi ubheka leyo ehambisana nesilawuli sakho.
Isihlalo semoto esiguqukayo
Isihlalo semoto esiguqulekayo singasetshenziswa kusukela ekuzalweni, kodwa izihlalo zezingane kuphela zilingana kangcono nezingane ezincane. Khetha eyodwa eqinisekisiwe ukuthi izobhekana nemuva kuze kube yilapho ingane inesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-30.
Izihlalo eziguquguqukayo ziyindlela enhle uma ufuna umkhiqizo ozohlala iminyaka yonke njengoba zingafakwa njengesihlalo sangemuva noma esibheke phambili. Futhi, iningi linemikhawulo ezovumela izingane ukuthi zigibele zibheke ngemuva iminyaka emi-2 noma ngaphezulu.
Nokho, izihlalo eziguquguqukayo aziklanyelwe ukuphatheka, kunalokho zihlala zimile emotweni.
Izihlalo Zemoto Zezingane
Lapho ingane yakho ingaphezu kwezidingo zesihlalo semoto esibheke ngemuva, kufanele isebenzise isihlalo semoto esibheke phambili esinehhanisi isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka, ize ifinyelele umkhawulo wobude nesisindo. Lezi yizinketho zakho lapho uthenga isihlalo semoto somntwana osekhulile osekhule kunesihlalo esibheke ngemuva:
Isihlalo semoto esibheke phambili kuphela
Izihlalo zemoto eziningi ezibheke phambili kuphela zingakwazi ukuhlalisa izingane ezifika kumakhilogremu angu-65 noma ngaphezulu. Ngaso sonke isikhathi qiniseka ukuthi ubhekisela kubhukwana lakho langempela lesihlalo semoto ukuze uthole ukucaciswa okuphezulu kobude nesisindo! Lezi zincomo azizona zonke izihlalo zemoto.
Isihlalo semoto esihlanganisiwe
Lokhu kusebenza nge-harness kuze kube yilapho ingane ifinyelela amakhilogremu angu-40-65. Ngemva kwalokho, ungakwazi ukususa ihhanisi bese isihlalo semoto siguqulela ku-booster yokubeka ibhande, engasetshenziselwa izingane ezifika kumakhilogremu angu-80-100 ngebhande lemoto yakho ethangeni/ehlombe.
Izihlalo Zemoto Zabasenkulisa
Uma ingane yakho isikhulile kunezimfuneko zesihlalo semoto esibheke phambili esinehhanisi, kufanele ishintshele ku-booster yokubeka ibhande enebhande/ihlombe lemoto emotweni. Lolu hlobo lwesihlalo semoto lufanelana nezingane kuze kufike kumakhilogremu angu-80-100, futhi ngokuvamile, izingane eziningi zidinga ama-booster kusukela eminyakeni engaba ngu-3 noma engu-4 kuya okungenani engu-8.
Khumbula ukuthi izingane zidinga ukusekelwa kwekhanda: Sebenzisa i-booster ephezulu uma imoto inesihlalo esingemuva esiphansi. I-booster engenamhlane ingasetshenziswa uma isihlalo semoto sine-headrest.
Uma Ususithengile Isihlalo Semoto Yakho
Zijwayeze ukubophela isihlalo emotweni yakho ngaphambi kokuba ingane yakho igibele okokuqala. Qinisekisa ukuthi izintambo zamahanisi zingena kahle emzimbeni wengane yakho. Sebenzisa izikhala zamahhanisi eziphansi kakhulu kusana olusanda kuzalwa. Gcina izintambo ezindaweni ezikhala noma ngaphansi kwamahlombe engane yakho ukuze ibheke ngemuva.
Qinisekisa ukuthi izintambo zamahanisi zilingana kahle phezu kwamahlombe naphakathi kwemilenze - lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu. Gqokisa ingane yakho izingubo ezigcina imilenze ikhululekile.
Ukuze ugcwalise izikhala ezingenalutho futhi uyisekele, goqa izingubo ezimbalwa zokulala ezincane bese uzishutheka phakathi kwamahlombe nekhanda lengane yakho, nhlangothi zombili zesokudla nesobunxele. Uma esaqumba phansi, faka inabukeni eligoqiwe phakathi kwemilenze yakhe ngemuva kwebhande le-crotch. Ungabeki amaphedi aminyene ngaphansi noma ngemuva kwengane.
