Experiments have proven: Don’t wear down jackets for your children under these circumstances! The consequences will be serious!

As soon as the weather gets cold, light and soft down jackets become popular. According to the overall transaction volume data of the Double 12 that has just passed, the item that Shanghai people consume the most during this Double 12 is down jackets. Indeed, when the temperature is so low, who cares about \”style\”? Wrapping up in a down jacket is the way to go. Without down jackets, many friends don’t know how to survive the winter. However, you can’t just wear a down jacket if you want to. If you want to keep yourself warm and cold safely, you must avoid the following points! Four sets of experiments tell you: Wearing down jackets while riding in a car is too dangerous. 1. The weather is getting colder, and many parents are unwilling to take off their thick down jackets when driving or riding with their children. However, there is a piece of news that has been circulating on the Internet recently: driving in a car in winter and letting children sit in safety seats wearing down jackets may bring fatal danger! Is it really that terrible? Below we have seen four groups of experiments at home and abroad, which will definitely make mothers have the urge to help their children change out of down jackets immediately: ↓ Click on the video to watch the \”News Big Truth\” Experiment Experiment 1: 20 kilometers/In the video, the experimental group Three baby dummies, which are about the same size as a 1-year-old baby, were put on down jackets and fixed on 5-point safety seats. Then, the experimental group asked three children to control a toy car to hit a wall 50 meters away at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. As a result, all three baby dummies almost flew out of their down jackets! Experiment 2: 50 km/h. This is only 20 km/h. We usually drive much faster than this. In order to simulate the real situation of high-speed vehicle collision, the experimental site was moved to the collision laboratory of Changsha University of Science and Technology. On a 50-meter-long track, the vehicle will hit the wall at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. As a result, the baby dummy in the down jacket jumped out instantly like a cicada escaping its shell! Under the same conditions, the baby dummy not wearing a down jacket only rebounded slightly on the seat at the moment of collision. Experiment 3: 48 km/h In this regard, similar comparative experiments have been conducted abroad, simulating the impact of a car traveling at 48 km/h, and the results obtained are almost exactly the same: △ The dummy wearing a down jacket flew out ! △The dummy without the down jacket only shook slightly! Why does this happen? Li Fan, a Ph.D. from the State Key Laboratory of Hunan University, said: When children wear thicker down jackets, their sitting posture will change and the height of their shoulders will also increase. When a car has a strong impact, the safety seat cannot effectively fix the child; the surface of down jackets and some cold-proof clothing are usually very smooth. Once a collision occurs, the child will slip out like a shelled egg, causing cervical vertebrae and head injuries. Contusion of the lower part of the body, severe cases may even cause death! Experiment 4: ADAC experiment In fact, not only children, but also adults wearing down jackets when riding in cars pose great safety risks. The All-German Automobile Club (ADAC), Germany\’s largest transportation association, simulated the sudden stop of a vehicle traveling at 16 kilometers per hour in a city due to impact. Adult and child human models were selected for the test respectively. The results show that when people wear thick winter clothes and fasten their safetyWhen belted, whether it is an adult or a child, the horizontal safety belt will cut into the abdomen during an impact, which may cause injuries to the liver, spleen, intestines and other internal organs, and even cause internal bleeding. This is because thick winter clothes increase the distance between the seat belt and the body, making it easier for people to tie the transverse seat belt on the abdomen. Are these sets of experiments shocking? So, how to stay safe and warm while riding in a car? For the safety of their children, parents must pay attention to the following details when driving with their children: ① Take off thick and smooth outerwear when riding in the car. If the outerwear is made of smooth material, fluffy filling, and is relatively heavy, then you must first take off the outerwear before riding in the car. Take it off and put the belt back on, or place the jacket outside the belt. ② Check whether the seat belt is in place☆ When a child rides in a child safety seat: the seat belt should be close to the child\’s chest and should fit a finger. ☆When adults wear seat belts: the transverse seat belt should be firmly fixed on the hip bone. ③ Cover your child with warm clothes. If you are worried about your child being cold, you can use warm air to heat the car in advance. You can also cover your child with a small blanket or a coat after fastening your seat belt to help keep the child warm. It is easy to over-warm and should not be worn by babies under 3 years old! 2. In terms of warmth and lightness, down jackets are definitely the best choice. Therefore, many mothers have worn down jackets for their babies since childhood, and even choose one-piece down jackets, thermal underwear, sweaters, woolen pants, down jackets, hats, and scarves, with three layers inside and three outside. , wrapped tightly, I feel like this will prevent the baby from getting cold. However, the body temperature control of the central system of babies under 3 years old is poor, and excessive warmth will cause the baby\’s body temperature to rise and sweat, and the heat cannot be dissipated in time. Once the cold wind blows, it is easy to cause colds and fevers. In addition, if the baby sweats too much, Too much can easily cause dehydration shock, which may lead to infant fever syndrome. The \”onion dressing method\” keeps your baby warm and comfortable. Babies under 3 years old have limited expressive ability. Even if they feel hot after wearing a lot of clothes, they don\’t know how to express themselves. Therefore, it is not recommended to casually wear down jackets for children under 3 years old. Mothers can adopt an \”onion dressing method\”, wearing layers like onions. The layers are superimposed, which is warm and easy to put on and take off. It can also be increased or decreased according to needs: ★ Wear clothes with good perspiration function in the inner layer; The clothing keeps you warm; the outermost layer is waterproof and windproof to cope with weather changes. ★The upper body can be worn like this: cotton underwear + knitted sweater + thermal vest/vest + cotton-padded jacket. ★The lower body can be worn like this: long johns + cotton pants (in particularly cold winter, woolen pants can be added to the cotton pants). Down jackets may also be the culprit of allergies! 3. Some mothers find that after their children put on down jackets, they always have inexplicable red rashes on their bodies or faces. They searched for a long time and couldn\’t figure out the cause, but after changing out of the recently worn down jackets, the symptoms disappeared. In fact, not only children, some adults will also have similar problems. This may be an allergic reaction caused by some characteristics of down jackets: ① Down jackets containing allergic ingredients are usually filled with duck, goose and other poultry feathers, which itself may cause allergies. Substances can cause symptoms such as asthma and urticaria. ② There is almost no way for ordinary down jackets to prevent wool from flying out of the filling. Young babies can easily suck it.into the nose. ③ Mite dust Some mothers take out the down jackets they cleaned and stored last winter and put them on their babies directly, which may cause allergic reactions. It turns out that the clothes look clean, but dust mites and house dust mites cannot be washed away. Although the life cycle of mites is one to two months, mite infection spreads relatively easily. If the baby wears it, it is easy to cause allergic asthma, allergic urticaria and some allergic dermatitis. Keep your baby away from allergies, this is what mothers should do! ① Determine whether the baby is allergic to down. If the baby has symptoms such as rash, urticaria, itching, or itchy nasopharynx, itchy eyes, runny nose, cough, chest tightness or even asthma when wearing a down jacket, the symptoms disappear or weaken after taking it off for a period of time. If allergic symptoms appear again after wearing it again, you can judge that the baby is allergic to down. If a child develops an allergy, he or she should take off his or her down jacket immediately. If the allergy is severe, seek medical attention promptly. ② When purchasing down jackets, pay attention to whether there is velvet or fleece. When purchasing, try to choose down jackets from big brands with high velvet content. Mothers can rub the down jacket with both hands and observe whether there is lint running off the surface. If more down is drilled out, it indicates poor anti-down velvet resistance. ③Do not let down jackets directly contact the skin. Down jackets do not directly contact the skin. They are usually labeled with category C. Therefore, whether the child wears it himself or the parents wear a down jacket to hold the child, the child must wear underwear. If you are worried about allergies, parents can also put some cotton handkerchiefs on their shoulders. Washing down jackets in a washing machine may explode! 4. Experienced mothers know that children’s clothes get dirty very quickly. A down jacket becomes dirty within a few days of wearing it, and many mothers can’t help but want to throw it in the washing machine for cleaning. However, last year there were media reports that a mother was washing her down jacket in a washing machine, and an explosion suddenly occurred. The eyes of her 6-year-old child were scratched by fragments of the washing machine! There are many such examples. Why does a washing machine explode when cleaning down jackets? It turns out that this is determined by the characteristics of down jackets: Generally, down jackets that explode have waterproof fabrics, poor air permeability, and difficulty in expelling the air inside. Moreover, explosions almost always occur during the dehydration and drying process. Since down jackets are lightweight and have poor air permeability, the down fillings in wet down jackets will gather together, causing large gaps in the clothes. During the high-speed spin-drying process, the down will continue to expand and produce a large amount of air. These gases cannot be discharged quickly and will continue to expand the down jacket and fill the washing machine. In addition, dry nylon cloth and down will generate static electricity, and the heat generated by static electricity will accumulate. The space of the washing machine is limited, and if the gas accumulates to a certain extent, an \”explosion\” may occur. This is how you should wash your down jacket! ① It is best to wash by hand. Although almost all pulsator washing machines that explode, especially old-fashioned double-cylinder pulsator washing machines, newly produced drum washing machines can basically wash down jackets, but careful mothers will find that 90% of down jackets are marked to be washed by hand. , dry cleaning will affect the warmth retention and also cause the fabric to age. However, down jackets that have been machine washed, tumbled, and tumbled can easily lead to uneven filler thickness, causing the clothing to deform, affecting its appearance and warmth. ② For rinsing at 30℃ water temperature, first put the down jacket into cold waterSoak for 20 minutes to fully moisten the inside and outside of the down jacket. Dissolve the detergent into warm water at 30°C, soak the down jacket in it for a quarter of an hour, and then scrub gently with a soft-bristled brush. You should also use warm water for rinsing, which can help the detergent fully dissolve in the water and make the down jacket rinse cleaner. ③ It is best to use neutral detergent and the concentration of washing powder should not be too high. It is best to use a special detergent for down jackets. Neutral detergent does the least damage to clothing and down. If alkaline detergent is not rinsed cleanly, it will damage the clothes and leave white marks on the surface of the clothes, affecting the appearance. To remove residual alkaline detergent, add two small spoons of vinegar to warm water after rinsing twice, soak the down jacket for a while and then rinse. Vinegar can neutralize the alkaline detergent. ④The concentration of washing powder should not be too high. If you must use washing powder for cleaning, it is usually appropriate to put 4 to 5 tablespoons of washing powder in two basins of water. If the concentration is too high, it will be difficult to rinse clean. The remaining washing powder in the down will affect the quality of the down. The fluffiness greatly reduces the warmth retention. ⑤ Do not wring out the down jacket. After washing, do not wring out the water. The water should be squeezed out, and then laid flat or hung to dry. Do not expose it to the sun, and do not iron it to avoid scalding the clothes. After drying, pat it gently to restore the fluffiness and softness of the down jacket.
