NBC news- Pete Williams 摘录

Parents in Washington state must put their children up to 2 years old in a rear-facing car seat under a law that takes effect Jan. 1, which turns a previous recommendation into a requirement. Children ages 2 to 4 must be in a forward-facing harness seat. Those older than 4 must remain in a booster seat if they are shorter than 4 feet, 9 inches, a restriction that may include many middle school students.

"It gives them just a little extra boost to keep the seat belt in the right spot, right over their shoulder and right over their lap," Kanessa Thompson, a Seattle emergency medical technician, explained.

美国首都华盛顿州1.1颁布的的一项关于安全座椅的规范，从推荐到必须。

2岁前： rear-facing car seat 脸朝后的后向式安全座椅（哈哈，作为妈妈应该都见过）

2-4岁：forward-facing harness seat 朝前坐的安全座椅（就是我们国内常见的安全座椅）

大于4岁，身高144.78cm内的：booster seat 增高的座椅，后面解释到是为了让安全带能到系到准确的点上，穿过肩膀和大腿部。

foot: 英尺，1 foot=30.48cm, 复数feets

inch 英寸，1 inch=2.54cm, 复数inches

1 foot=12inch.

以上是我自己看完整篇摘录的部分感兴趣且有用内容，有错请指出，以后每周会持续更新其他内容，感兴趣的可以一起学习。

根据美国的新法律，我自己做的就不合规，孩子的身高没有满足只用安全带的标准，百度百科查阅了上海的相关法条，上海市规定未满4周岁的必须要用安全座椅，未满12周岁的不能坐副驾驶。

根据上海的法条，目前自己还算是满足的，由此也可见对于未成年交通安全的保护，国内还需要更多的普及和向前学习。
