The present application relates to a flame retardant impact-modified polycarbonate composition and shaped parts as well as articles made therefrom. The polycarbonate composition comprises the following components: an aromatic polycarbonate, a rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer, and a flame retardant combination. The shaped article made from the polycarbonate composition according to the present invention has a good balance among heat resistance, flame retardance and impact strength.

The present application discloses a child safety car seat having a main body and a fireproof buffering structure disposed on the main body. The fireproof buffering structure includes a buffering plate and a fireproof plate attached to or neighboring to the buffering plate, and the fireproof plate is closer to a seating space of the child safety car seat than the buffering plate. In contrast to conventional child safety car seats, the fireproof buffering structure of the present application adopts the combined buffering plate and fireproof plate. The buffering plate has good impact absorbing capacity for providing a soft and comfortable seating environment and buffering and protection effects during a crash accident, and the fireproof plate can reduce the combustion rate of the integral structure when catching fire. Therefore, the child safety car seat achieves the purposes of safety and comfort.
