Many child vehicles are on the market that are unqualified. The problems are mainly happened during normal use and foreseeable abuse. And reasons may lead to the problems are various, including the shape, size, strength, small gears, prominent parts, packaging bags and film, folding structure, accessibility of gaps and mechanical device, stability and overload requirement, operating manual, products marking, anti collision distance and so on.


The child vehicles may need to assemble by ourselves, and assemble it correctly according to the manual is a effective way to avoid the danger during use.Besides, we should try those single-function child vehicles, because they always have more scientific and reasonable structure. For those vehicles which are multifunctional, the structure might be too complicated to keep every function and part maintain safe.


1)Child Bicycle.

- Choose the bicycle based on kid’s age and height.

- Pay attention to the size of handbrake. Children may be not able to stop the bicycle if handbrake is too big to grip.

- Do not move the balance wheel optionally during the daily use.

- Make sure there is a chain cover on the bicycle, that will protect children from putting their fingers into the chain.


2)Child Tricycle.

- Width of every gaps on moving parts or between moving parts should be less than 5mm or greater than 12mm, to avoid children pinch their fingers.

- Check carefully if these small components of tricycle is safe for children.


3)Baby Carriage.

- Besides the solid structure of the vehicle, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the locking mechanism and the safety device of the carriage are complete and reliable. If there is only a locking mechanism and no safety device, once the locking mechanism fails, it may cause serious injury to children.

- Pay attention to whether the height of the seat cushion is appropriate, and whether the shoulder strap, fork strap, cross strap, buckle, seat belt and other devices are firm and reliable, so as to ensure that the child will not fall out of the carriage and get injured because of the failing of seat belt or other devices.

- Try not leave the carriage during daily use, in case of something happened.



4)Baby Walker.

- The stability, rigidity and frame strength of the product should be considered when choosing the baby walker, especially the locking device, in order to prevent the walker to fold by itself and cause injury because the child jumps in the walker and causing the locking device to loose.

- Do not use the baby walker on uneven roads, slopes, stairways, bathrooms, kitchens, near to electrical appliances and other dangerous places.



5)Electric Child Vehicle.

- Pay attention to the stability and maximum load of the vehicle.

- The maximum speed of the electric baby carriage should be particularly considered. For vehicle with a speed faster than 8km/h, it will be difficult for the adult to follow up by foot when children playing with it, and that may cause accidents.



6)Other toy vehicles.

- Check the stability and maximum load carefully before buying.

- Movement of these vehicles is based on human power, so we should pay more attention to if there is any gaps which may squeeze or cause shear damage.





About the plastic bag and plastic firm in the package, we should pay attention to the thickness (standard required thickness ≥ 0.038mm). And we should put these plastic things in where children not able to reach or dispose them in time, to avoid any suffocation accidents.
