In the event of a crash neck muscles may be stretched and cause serious injuries.

Switch to FF instead of FF when your child is at their current seat's maximum weight or height (or the minimum for the new car seat). Check the instructions for your car seat carefully.

Safety

In the event of a crash, infant car seats are designed to protect your child's head and neck. The forward-facing position will also prevent your child from slamming their head against the back of the seat which can cause serious injuries.

All infant carrier seat car seats with a forward-facing view have five-point harnesses to secure the child with one pull tightening, and the carrier shell is lined with EPS energy-absorbing foam for better impact protection. Some come with a canopy to provide shade from the sun.

The most effective infant car seats have an adjustable angle adjuster and an angle indicator. This lets you determine the right angle for your child's neck in order to stop it from slipping over in the event of a collision. The top tether strap connects to the tether anchor of the vehicle and extends from the top. You should keep in mind that you might not have to change your child's seat to a forward-facing car seat until is at the maximum weight and height specified in the instruction manual for the seat.

It's the time to switch to a different model when your child reaches 20 pounds and one year old. Infants and toddlers younger than one year old have soft, loose neck muscles that can cause whiplash in a crash. They are more prone to suffer serious neck injuries when they travel in a frontal collision (the most common and severe type). When kids under 1 year are riding rear-facing, their head is cushioned by the car seat and shielded from sudden movements that can strain their necks.

If children are moving to a forward facing car seat, they still require a convertible or an all-in-one that has a high rearward weight and height limit. The child should not be able to move into an adult booster until they meet the height and age requirements for a high-back booster, which is usually around age 4 or 5 years old. These crash videos will help you understand the differences between the carseats. But remember, the footage has been slowed down. If a child is moving too fast, they may be injured.

Comfort

A forward-facing infant car seat allows your baby to ride in comfort and be secure in the event of a crash. The seat comes with a soft headrest and a body support cushion and an EPS energy-absorbing cover to shield your child from the impact. The seat also comes with five-point harnesses with simple one-pull tightening and a movable front center adjuster that ensures your child is properly positioned. A retractable canopy shields your baby from the sunlight. For safety, the seat is designed to be secured by the vehicle's seat belt and includes an adjustable clip that holds the latch buckle secure when not in use.

If your baby complains of discomfort or appears to be slouching forward while sleeping it could be because the angle of the car seat is too low. You can fix this by placing tightly rolled towels on the front of the car seat to lift it up more. If this doesn't help you can take your baby to Rockridge Kids to have us examine the angle of their carseat.

Be aware that children should not face forward until they weigh at 20 pounds and are one year old. Their necks are still not strong enough to stand up to the force of a crash, if they were to be thrown to the side on their own. Some experts recommend waiting longer, since the muscles and bones of young children are more flexible than those of adults.

Many parents decide to buy a convertible car seat, which allows their babies to travel backwards until they reach the maximum height or weight limit of the seat. This lets them enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing car seat longer, and makes it easier for parents as they can simply move their child from the rear-facing position to the forward-facing position once their child is no longer in the position.

The Graco 4Ever Convertible Car seat is a 4-in-1 convertible car seat that lets your child use the seat for 10 years. It can be converted from rear-facing infant (up to 40 pounds) to a forward-facing harness and high-back seats (30-100 lbs), to an unbelt-positioning seat that is backless (40-120 lb). The Smart Fit system makes it easy to set up. You can move the harness and headrest together without re-threading.

Convenience

A forward facing infant car seat is a great option if you're traveling with a toddler. This lets you see your child as you drive and the rest of your family can enter the car without disturbing your baby or toddler. This type of car seat can be used with strollers which makes it easier to get your child in and out of the car to go to the supermarket or other tasks.

But that even the time your child is old enough to switch to a forward-facing car seat, it's safer to keep them rear-facing as long as is possible. From the standpoint of crash tests, a child's head is better protected in the event of a crash if they are facing backwards. This is because when they are facing backwards, the entire body, including the neck, head and torso is held in the car seat's rear.

Review the directions of the manufacturer to see the time you can rotate your child's seat. You'll find that they have a maximum height and weight limit, as well as specific guidelines regarding things like the crotch strap's position. These rules are designed to safeguard your child as they grow.

You should also consider whether your vehicle has tether anchors. If so, ensure that the strap is correctly installed and secured to the anchor points of your vehicle as instructed in the manual for your seat. Additionally, you'll need to make sure that the harness shoulder straps are placed at or just above your child's shoulders and not too low or high because this can impact how well they're restrained in a crash.

A good choice for parents who have several children or are planning to have more is a convertible car seat. It is a one-stop car seat that can start with a rear-facing infant car seat, then move your child to a forward-facing position when they're old enough and have reached the weight or height limit of the rear-facing car seat.

Style

The car seat for your baby was a must-have item for your child, and you spent many hours deciding the right one. As they grow older and start outgrowing their car seat for infants you may be wondering when it's time to change them.

While the idea of having your child face forward is exciting, there are some important safety factors to consider. Children should remain rear-facing until they reach the maximum weight of their car seat and height limitations.

Keep in mind that children vary in both size and age. You shouldn't base your decision on a certain date on the calendar, or if you believe they have reached their maximum amount of legroom. It may appear that a child is larger in a rear-facing car seat, but that doesn't mean it is safe to turn your child around. Their spine and bones haven't yet fully developed.

Some infant car seats come with a built-in alarm to remind you to keep your child facing rear until they're at least one year old. This is because children younger than one do not have strong enough neck muscles to be able to withstand a collision with a frontal force which could result in serious spinal injuries.

In addition to being safe, many infant car seats are equipped with useful features that make them easy to use. Some include bases that snap in and out of the car, allowing you to carry your child from the car to a stroller and then back. They are often part a travel system.

If you're ready to move your baby to a forward-facing convertible car seat ensure that you do it correctly by following the manufacturer's guidelines and then examining the car seat for tightness. The car seat shouldn't move more than one inch from side to side, or front to rear when installed correctly. The harness straps should also be at or above the shoulders of your child. If you have any questions or concerns about the installation of your car seat, you can contact an accredited safety technician in your area or the car seat manufacturer.nania-beline-car-seat-group-1-2-3-9-36kg-with-side-impact-protection-and-pillows-made-in-france-minnie-1482.jpg
