　　共享单车儿童座椅网上热销 出事究竟谁担责?

　　Most of the Taobao vendors³ claim their seats are made of carbon steel, thus able to hold up to 60 kg. The bike seat accessories are usually priced between 40-60 yuan and mostly decorated with cartoon prints.

　　大部分淘宝卖家声称，其座椅由碳钢制成，因此最重可承载60公斤。这些单车座椅附件通常售价为40-60元，且多饰以卡通图案。

　　However, most of the vendors fail to provide legal quality certificates, and disclaimers are posted asserting the sellers won't be held responsible for any accidents involving the bikes and child seats.
