German term

Kindersicherung

German to English Other
Hi,

what would you call a

"Kindersicherung in Autos"

My text mentions different "Kindersicherungen", for example a fingerprint sensor so that the kids cannot start the car by themselves, the "Kindersicherung" in the door and so on.

I don't remember where, but I found "childproof safety guard" somewhere, but I am not sure about this term.
I am thinking about "childproof safety device", but maybe you can come up with a better solution.

Thanks a lot,
Patricia

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot for all your contributions. Louise's answer works best for me, because I was looking for a more general term, since my text talks about different "child safety devices", and not just about locks, as I stated in my question, although locks are mentioned too.
