国内儿童安全座椅将强制实施3C认证
英语课
New regulations have been announced connected to car seats for children.
The new rules, which become active on September 1st, will ban the sale of child safety seats which don't have the China Compulsory 1 Certification.
CRI's Yu Yang has more.
A recent survey conducted in Beijing is suggesting most parents believe car seats are important.
"A child safety seat is very necessary. It protects the child in the car. It is safer than sitting on the seat without one."
However, the same survey also shows many parents in China have little idea what to look for when buying car seats.

Hu Wenhao with the General Administration of Quality Supervision 2, China's quality watchdog, says with the new 3C certification rules, parents won't have to worry about buying a defective 3 car seat.
"Starting from September 1st, 3C certification is a must for products on sale. You will still need to check whether the seat has the certificate or not. Beyond that, you'll also need to choose the right size of car seat, depending on the age and size of your child."
Hu Wenhao also says they're doing studies to determine which seats may be the best choice for consumers.
"The research is meant to evaluate whether the car seat is easy to use, whether it is comfortable for children, and whether it is easy to make adjustments. If the seat is easy to use, it should only take three minutes to install. However, some seats have taken us more than ten minutes to install."
The most recent stats are suggesting only one-in-five families in China use car seats.
The same analysis also shows around 6-percent of those who use car seats for their children have no idea how to properly install them in the vehicle.
For CRI, I'm Yu Yang.
