Keep Your Child in an infant car seat rear facing (special info)

Keeping your child in a car seat that is rear-facing is the best option. Children should only be transferred to a car seat that faces forward when they reach the maximum weight and height of their existing seat.

Safety Benefits

Rear-facing infant car seats are the best car seat option for newborns and young babies. This is because they provide support and support to their neck and head. Purva Grover MD director of Cleveland Clinic Children's Pediatric Emergency Departments, explains that as their spines are not yet formed, it is vital to keep the force of an accident away from their necks and heads. In a frontal collision, the head of a child would strike the seat in front of them, causing a whiplash effect that can be severe or fatal. In a rear-facing seat, the impact is absorbed and dissipated to the rear of the vehicle. "It's like hugging," says Adele. In addition, the child's legs are tucked into their car seat, preventing them from being thrown against the back of the front seat or other vehicle surfaces. "This prevents them from hitting their own body, which could cause internal injuries," she explains.

Many parents are opposed to ERF because they are afraid that their child will be bored or uncomfortable. My son Lukas has never been bored or uncomfortable. In fact, he prefers to ride rear-facing since the recline feature lets him stretch his legs while reading a book or watch TV.

If you do have an older child who isn't keen on being in a rear-facing car seat because of leg length or other factors, try to convince them that it's the best option for them to travel. Explain that they can remain in their convertible or all-in one car seats provided they don't exceed the height and weight limits set by the manufacturer of the seat.

Make sure you secure your child in a rear-facing seat with the lower anchor system of the vehicle or a seat belt. Do not let them wear bulky clothes such as winter coats. They can expand when a collision occurs, which can cause the straps of the harness to loosen. This puts your child at risk of injury. Make sure to use the Pinch Test when fitting your child's harness.

Convenience

Many parents prefer keeping their infant car seats rear facing as long as possible because they are easy to use and more portable than convertible car seats. However, having your child in a rear-facing vehicle may mean they have to be moved into an infant crib or bassinet during time of nap or times of bedtime. This could mean waking the baby who was sleeping which is not ideal. However, the advantages of rear facing are greater than any inconvenience.

Preemies and newborn babies are smaller than full-term newborns and therefore the headrest of their car seat is lower. This reduces the impact of an accident. It also ensures that the chest clip on the harness is at the shoulders, not at the neck. This is particularly important for premature babies who have weaker bones, and aren't fully ossedified from pregnancy or birth.

Additionally the rear-facing position gives a much better view of your lightweight baby car seat than forward-facing. This allows you to easily monitor their behavior and ensure that they are comfortable and happy. Most infant car seat travel car seats have built-in mirrors that can be adjusted so you can observe your child from any angle.

You can utilize convertible car seats or an all-in-one car seat to keep your child rear-facing until they reach their maximum weight or height limit. Some even have higher rear-facing limits than the rear-only seats that means they can be used longer.

Convertible car seats or all-in-one seats are known as versatile. They can be used rear-facing or forward facing, as well as belt-positioning boosters. They are also easy to remove and install because they have a large base in the back of your car. They are more expensive than the infant car seats that can be used once, but they'll last longer and save you money over time.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ride rear-facing until the maximum height and weight limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer, or until they are at least two years old. Many children are outgrowing their rear-facing infant seat before age two, but don't be tempted to turn them around earlier. It's safer to keep it in the rear for a while.

Weight Limits

You must be aware that all car seats for infants have height and weight restrictions. The majority have a maximum weight of 30 to 35 pounds, and an upper height limit of around 30 inches or so, based on the model. If your child is reaching the limits, it's time to move to the next level of safety. This could be a convertible car seat that allows you to switch between forward and rear facing, or an all-in-one seat that lets your child ride backwards until they reach the maximum height and weight recommended by the manufacturer.

There are other factors, besides the weight and height limit that can indicate if your child is ready to move up a stage in the car seat. One of these is their comfort level when riding backwards. You can check for these indicators by observing your child's behavior, and then looking at other children of similar age in their carseats. You can also seek help from certified child safety experts at a car seat inspection station, which is typically run by local government or community groups.

It's ideal to keep your infant rear-facing for as long as you can. This is why a lot of parents wait until their children are completely grown before turning them around. You can avoid this temptation if you make sure that your child's car seats is installed correctly and doesn't switch to a front-facing seat before they're ready even when their weight or height is within the limits of their existing seat.

If you have questions about whether your child is ready for the next car seat stage or you're worried you might not have installed their current car seat in a correct manner contact a certified child passenger safety technician. They are available through community groups and hospitals and local government offices and child safety programs. You can find one close to you by searching online or contacting your local health department or public safety agency. There are also mobile car seat check-in events which can come to your home or workplace to make sure you have the correct equipment and are using it correctly.

Installation

The correct installation of a car seat is vital to ensure its safety. Unfortunately it is the case that the NHTSA states that nearly half of car seats are not installed correctly (and this includes rear-facing). The best way to make sure that your infant car seat is properly installed is to read the manual and have it examined by a certified car safety technician.

Verifying the angle is the first step in installing the rear-facing infant car seat. You can verify the angle of the base on the side or in the manual to make sure it is safe for your child's weight.

It is also important to ensure that your baby's head is in the right angle in the seat. Babies have big heads and soft necks, and a forward-facing posture could cause pressure on their neck and spine during a crash. In a rear-facing collision, the car seat's back absorbs the majority of the crash force, which shields the baby's delicate neck as well as spinal cord.

Once your baby has reached the weight or height limit of the car seat they were in as infants and is now weighing more than a pound, it's time to switch to a convertible or an all-in-one car seat, which can be used in the rear-facing position until your child has reached their front-facing limit. Make sure you purchase an infant car seat that has more rear-facing capacity if you decide to switch to this type of car seat, because older models have lower limits.

If you select an infant car seat that is able to be detached from the car and then reattached to strollers, this is a great choice for parents who want to take their infants into and out of the car frequently. It can be challenging and time-consuming to move your car seat and stroller into and out of your vehicle every time, especially when you have a baby. This is a great option for a lot of families when they are willing to invest the time to do it right each time. Make sure to plan ahead, and choose the day that you have plenty of time spare.
