turvatuoli

Turvatuoli is a Finnish term that translates to "safety chair" or "security chair." It commonly refers to a child restraint system used in vehicles to protect infants and young children during travel. These devices are designed to secure a child in the event of a collision or sudden stop, significantly reducing the risk of injury. Turvatuoli is a broad category that encompasses various types of car seats, including infant carriers, convertible seats, and booster seats, each designed for different age groups and weight limits.

The use of turvatuoli is mandated by law in Finland and many other countries to ensure the safety of young passengers. These seats are subject to strict safety standards and testing to ensure they provide adequate protection. Proper installation and correct use of the turvatuoli are crucial for its effectiveness. Parents and guardians are responsible for selecting a seat appropriate for their child's size and for ensuring it is securely fastened in the vehicle according to the manufacturer's instructions. Different types of turvatuoli are used as a child grows, progressing from rear-facing seats for infants to forward-facing seats and then to booster seats that utilize the vehicle's seatbelt.
