Nakuba ama-airbag enzelwe ukuvikela abantu abadala engozini yemoto, awakwazi ukuvikela izingane ezihlezi ngaphambili.
Ngenxa yalokho, i- I-American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) incoma ukuthi zonke izingane ezineminyaka engu-13 nangaphansi zibophe ibhande esihlalweni esingemuva ukuze ziphephe.
Kukhona okuhlukile kulokhu. Isibonelo, uma intsha engaphezu kweminyaka engu-13 incane ngeminyaka yayo, akunconywa ukuthi ihlale ngaphambili.
Nakhu okumele ukwazi mayelana nezingane ezigibela imoto, kanye namathiphu okuphepha kwezihlalo zemoto ngeminyaka.
Izingozi zokugibela esihlalweni esingaphambili ezinganeni ezincane:
Abakhiqizi bezimoto ngokuvamile baklama ama-airbag ukuze bavikele umuntu omdala okungenani ongamafidi angu-5 ubude futhi cishe amaphawundi angu-150. Ngisho noma ingane ibophe ibhande ngendlela efanele uma igibele esihlalweni esingaphambili, maningi amathuba okuthi ithole ukulimala ku-airbag yomgibeli kunomuntu omdala.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-airbag isebenza ngokushesha, phakathi kuka-1/20 wesekhondi. Ngalesi sivinini esisheshayo, i-airbag ingasebenza ngesivinini esingamamayela angu-200 ngehora. Lokhu kuletha inani elibalulekile lamandla enganeni encane, elula.
Izingane ezihlala esihlalweni esingaphambili ngaphambi kokuba zibe zinkulu ngosayizi zisengozini ukulimala ekhanda ngenxa yethonya le-airbag noma ikhono le-airbag lokuziphakamisa esihlalweni bese ushaya phezulu emotweni.
Uma sebephothule esihlalweni semoto, indawo ephephe kakhulu abantu abasha abangahlala kuyo indawo emaphakathi nesihlalo esingemuva, inqobo nje uma kukhona ibhande (amabhande asehlombe) abangalisebenzisa kuleso sikhundla.
Lapho ingane ineminyaka engu-13 ubudala futhi ifuna ukugibela esihlalweni esingaphambili, abazali bangakwazi ukuyivikela ekulimaleni ngokuthatha lezi zinyathelo ezilandelayo:
- Sheshisa isihlalo sangaphambili emuva ngangokunokwenzeka futhi uqhele lapho i-airbag izosebenza khona. Ukuphahlazeka okuningi kuthinta ingaphambili lemoto, okwenza lesi simo sibe mancane amathuba okuba sibe nomthelela.
- Njalo dinga ukuthi ingane yakho ibophe ibhande.
- Cela ingane yakho ukuthi ibophe ibhande layo lesihlalo kahle ifulathele isihlalo ukuze ibe kude kudeshibhodi. Ibhande lesihlalo kufanele liwele esifubeni esingenhla, hhayi intamo. Ibhande ethangeni kufanele libekwe ngaphesheya kwethanga, hhayi esiswini.
Ngisho noma ingane eneminyaka engu-13 inesisindo esingaphezu kwamakhilogremu angu-150, kungase kudingeke ukuthi isebenzise isihlalo sokuthuthukisa uma ingaphansi kwamamitha angu-4, ubude obuyi-intshi engu-9. Ibhande lesihlalo lingase lingalingani kahle kulokhu kuphakama.
Ezinye izifundazwe zinemithetho mayelana nokuthi ingane ingahlala nini esihlalweni esingaphambili. Amaphoyisa angabhalela amathikithi abazali nabanakekeli abangawuthobeli umthetho.
Izigaba zokuphila nokuphepha kwezihlalo zemoto:
Ukuzalwa ukuya eminyakeni engu-2
Izingane kufanele zigibele esihlalweni semoto esibheke ngemuva isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka, ngokuvamile kuze kube yilapho sezineminyaka okungenani engu-2 noma zize zifinyelele umkhawulo wesisindo esiphezulu, ongamaphawundi angu-40 noma ngaphezulu.
Lolu hlobo lwesihlalo semoto lusibekela intamo ethambile nomgogodla wengane. Uma uqala ngenkampani yenethiwekhi yosana, shintshela esihlalweni semoto esishintshwayo uma isikhulile, kodwa ushiye isihlalo semoto sibheke ngemuva.
Iminyaka engu-2 kuya kwengu-8 (noma ngaphezulu)
Izingane kufanele zigibele esihlalweni esibheke phambili isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka zize zifinyelele ukuphakama okuphezulu noma umkhawulo wesisindo sesihlalo sazo.
Lesi sihlalo semoto sivikela ukuhamba phambili uma kwenzeka ingozi. Isihlalo kufanele sibe nesisindo nemikhawulo yobude esohlwini. Ngokuvamile, umkhawulo wesisindo esiphezulu uphakathi kwamakhilogremu angu-40 no-65.
Iminyaka engu-8 kuye kweyi-12
Uma ingane isiyeqile imikhawulo yesisindo nobude besihlalo esibheke phambili, izodinga isihlalo esifaka ibhande esinikeza amandla.
Lokhu kusiza ingane ukuthi ihlale endaweni ephephe kunazo zonke nobude ukuze ivimbele ukulimala engozini yemoto.
Izingane ngokuvamile zizohlala kulesi sihlalo esikhuthazayo zize zibe ngaphezu kwamafidi angu-4, amayintshi angu-9 ubude. Lesi sihlalo esikhuthazayo siqinisekisa ukuthi ibhande lesihlalo lingena phezu kwezingxenye eziqine kakhulu zomzimba wengane ukuze kungabikho amathuba okulimala engozini.
Izingane ezingaphezulu kuka-13
Nakuba intsha ikwazi ukugibela esihlalweni esingaphambili, kufanele ibophe amabhande njalo.
Esigabeni ngasinye, isihlalo semoto noma i-booster ihloselwe ukubeka ingane endaweni ephephile nevikeleke kakhulu ukuze ivikeleke emthelela nasezingozini zezimoto.
I I-National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ilinganisela ukuthi izimpilo zezingane ezingama-248 ezingaphansi kweminyaka emi-5 zasindiswa izihlalo zemoto ngo-2015.
