| Author: Joshua Poon It is very important to use the correct type of baby seat when you have an infant on board. Most people do not know how to install a baby car seat safely. Do you know that some hospitals won't discharge a mom and new baby until they see the car seat? Fortunately, many kinds of infant car seats exist in the market. The easiest and best baby car seat to utilize is the kind that has a base that is buckled securely to the seat. This car seat itself can be lifted off and carried around by the handle. This is will be convenient to you because the baby can be carried to and from the house or wherever the child is going while strapped into the seat. These infant seats usually will only be safe for transporting babies facing backward, until the age of one year. When the baby is 18 pounds, and at least one year old, it is time for a forward-facing baby car seat. Plus, by the time the baby is that old, and weighs 18 pounds, he will be too heavy to lug around that way! You will want to get the baby out of the baby seat, and carry him, or he may even be walking by then! The next kind of best baby car seat is called a convertible car seat. Many of these baby car seats can be placed in the backward-facing position for when babies grow out of their infant seats, but are not yet old enough, or at a heavy enough weight to sit facing forward. Then, the convertible baby car seat can be turned to face forward, and will seat the baby until the baby is 40 pounds or more. These have a 5-point harness that is buckled at the bottom and the chest. Once the baby reaches 40 pounds, he will move to a booster seat. This seat is a small base that keeps the child secure, while allowing him to use the regular seat belt. The child can usually sit in this type of car seat until he weighs 80 pounds! As a rule of thumb, babies and children below the age of twelve are supposed to be
seated behind, not in the front seat. The safest place is the center of the back seat.
This is because studies show that air bags in the front seat may cause injuries to
children. So if possible, never allow a child to be seated in front. |

| Car Seat Safety - Avoid These 3 Deadly Mistakes by Shannon Emmanuel |
| Driving
along with baby in the car is a regular part of a parent's routine. With a busy schedule
to maintain, no wonder many parents feel frustration at the task of buckling fasteners,
adjusting belts and dealing with crying babies that are not happy about the fuss.
Frustration can lead to shortcuts. How serious are the risks? Does Baby Have to Face Backward? It can be very frustrating to a new parent to deal with the piercing wails of a hungry or tired infant who is facing backwards in the back seat of the car. Sunlight may sneak into the baby's face, he may have lost his pacifier or may just want to see you. Unfortunately, keeping baby in a backwards facing car seat until at least 20 pounds and one year of age is crucial to their safety. A baby's neck muscles are not as strong as an older child's. Bumps and turns in the road can easily strain a small neck when gravity takes control. Seats that face backwards should be reclining at a 45 degree angle; this angle compensates for weak muscles and cannot be attained when the seat faces forwards (try it yourself). Some seats are even equipped with a gauge on the side which will indicate the perfect angle for your baby's comfort and safety. If you feel your child has the required strength and is over 20 pounds before a year you can ask your pediatrician for advice on when to turn the seat around. How Tight Should Straps Be? To determine the correct placement and tightness of the harness you should just barely be able to fit one finger between baby and the harness straps. Any looser and baby could be ejected from the straps in an accident. The harness straps should be adjusted to come out at, or just below, baby's shoulders. The chest clip needs to be across the baby's chest bone. This keeps the harness straps in the proper position and will absorb the force of a collision across the chest bone, which is safest. If the weather is cold you should avoid bundling baby too much before putting him in the baby seat since the extra bulk will affect your ability to fit the harness properly. It is better to harness baby and then cover him with blankets placed over the straps. How Do I Know if the Seat is In Right? Improperly attaching the car seat to your vehicle is a common, and very dangerous, mistake. In one study it was found that 63% of car seats were not properly installed. Read the instructions thoroughly. Some children's stores that sell car seats, as well as local police, can check your installation and show you how to make the corrections. Often the seat is simply too loose. Try installing it by placing your knee in the seat while fastening it in. The seat should not move at the base. Keeping your kids safe is a huge concern for parents. Understanding the necessity of safely buckling your kids up right from infancy will ensure that you, and them, become accustomed to the routine and implement it on EVERY trip. |
