Car Seat Turntable
A car seat turntable, also known as a car seat swivel base, is a device designed to facilitate easier access to child car seats, particularly for parents. It allows the car seat to rotate, typically 360 degrees, making it simpler to place a child in and out of the seat without straining or bending.
Material
- Steel: The primary structural component, providing strength and durability. Often coated for corrosion resistance.
- Plastic: High-density polymers are used for components like the base cover, locking mechanisms, and sometimes rotating rings to reduce friction and weight.
- Foam Padding: Used on contact surfaces to protect the vehicle's upholstery.
- Rubber: Found in grip pads to secure the base to the vehicle seat and prevent sliding.
Purpose
The primary purpose is to reduce the physical strain on parents or caregivers when securing or removing a child from a car seat. This is especially beneficial for:
- Individuals with back problems
- Those recovering from surgery
- Parents with limited mobility
- Anyone wanting a more convenient and ergonomic solution
Function
- Rotation: The core function is the 360-degree swivel, enabling the car seat to be turned outwards, bringing the child closer to the door for easier access.
- Locking Mechanism: A secure locking system is crucial. These typically involve a lever or button that locks the base in a forward-facing or rear-facing position, preventing unwanted rotation while the vehicle is in motion.
- Compatibility: Designed to work with specific car seat models and vehicle types. It sits underneath the car seat base, interfacing with the vehicle's ISOFIX/LATCH system or seatbelt.
- Height Adjustment: Some models offer limited height adjustment to better fit the vehicle's seat contours.
Usage Scenarios
- Daily Use: Simplifies the process of securing and removing children from car seats.
- Vehicles with Limited Space: Beneficial in cars where access to the car seat is restricted.
- Multiple Caregivers: Makes it easier for different individuals to manage car seat access.
- Infants and Young Toddlers: Particularly helpful when lifting and placing smaller children into car seats.
Common Types
- ISOFIX/LATCH Base: Connects to vehicles equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH anchor points. This is the most common type.
- Seatbelt Base: Utilizes the vehicle's seatbelt system to secure the base. Suitable for vehicles without ISOFIX/LATCH.
- Rotating Car Seats (Integrated): Some car seats incorporate a rotating base as a built-in feature, rather than being a separate accessory. These often offer extended rear-facing capabilities.
- Manual vs. Automatic Rotation: Most are manual, requiring the user to physically rotate the seat. Some higher-end models may feature powered rotation.
Based on the provided information, a car seat turntable appears to be related to seats used in motor vehicles and potentially child safety seats. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes:
- 9401200000: Seats of a kind used for motor vehicles. This chapter (94) covers furniture, including seats. The heading (01200000) specifically refers to seats for motor vehicles. The total tax rate is 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after April 2, 2025).
- 9401806021: Other seats; Child safety seats: With detachable hard-shell seat. This heading (806021) falls under the broader category of other seats (940180) and specifically identifies child safety seats with a detachable hard-shell. The total tax rate is 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after April 2, 2025).
- 8714943080: Parts and accessories of vehicles of headings 8711 to 8713; Other: Brakes, including coaster braking hubs and hub brakes, and parts thereof: Other. While not directly a seat, if the turntable mechanism involves braking or locking features, this HS code might be relevant. The total tax rate is 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after April 2, 2025).
It is important to determine the primary function of the turntable. If it is an integral part of the seat itself, 9401200000 or 9401806021 are the most appropriate codes. If it is a separate component functioning as a braking or locking mechanism, 8714943080 may be applicable.
