Abstrakty

Safety of wheeled child conveyances in EU is still unsatisfactory despite the European safety standards that are in force. Data on safety assessment of conveyances commercialized in Poland have not been documented so far, and they require to be completed with some parameters that may be causing hazards. The aim of the research was the safety assessment of conveyances on the Polish market. The tests were carried out according to own methodology for 84 conveyances. The test results showed that the majority of conveyances did not meet the safety criteria. They indicated a necessity of design changes in the case of conveyances regarding their stability and mechanical strength as well as an elimination of a child’s access to dangerous openings and easy-to-be-detached components. The conducted tests complement the present knowledge on the safety and ergonomics of wheeled child conveyances and form a basis for continuing the research work on an improvement of their design.

Poziom bezpieczeństwa użytkowania wózków dziecięcych na terenie Unii Europejskiej, mimo obowiązujących w tym zakresie norm, jest ciągle niezadowalający. Dane dotyczące oceny stanu bezpieczeństwa wózków dziecięcych wprowadzanych na rynek polski nie zostały dotychczas udokumentowane i wymagają uzupełnienia, w szczególności w zakresie identyfikacji parametrów powodujących zagrożenia. Celem badań była ocena bezpieczeństwa wózków dziecięcych pochodzących z rynku polskiego. Badania przeprowadzono zgodnie z opracowaną w tym celu metodyką dla 84 wózków. Wyniki badań wykazały, że większość wózków dziecięcych nie spełniała kryteriów bezpieczeństwa użytkowania. Wskazano na potrzebę zmian konstrukcji wózków w zakresie jej stabilności i wytrzymałości mechanicznej oraz wyeliminowania dostępu dziecka do niebezpiecznych otworów oraz łatwo odłączalnych elementów. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań uzupełniają stan wiedzy na temat poziomu bezpieczeństwa i ergonomii wózków dziecięcych oraz mogą stanowić podstawę podjęcia dalszych prac badawczych nad rozwojem konstrukcji wózków.
