Safety Benefits

Rear-facing infant car seats are the most secure choice for newborns and small babies. This is because they support and cradle their neck and head. "Since their spines aren't fully been ossified, it's crucial to keep the force of a crash off their heads and necks," says Purva Grover, MD, director of Cleveland Clinic Children's Pediatric Emergency Departments. In a frontal crash, the baby's head will hit the seat infront of them. This can result in a whiplash that is extremely painful or even fatal. However, with the rear-facing car seat the impact is absorbed by the seat and dissipated by the back of the vehicle. "It's like a hug," says Adele. The legs of a child can be placed into the car seat to prevent them from being thrown into the back of the front seat or any other vehicle surface. "This prevents them from crashing into their own body, which can cause internal injuries," she explains.

Many parents resist ERF because they fear their child will be bored or uncomfortable. This is not the case for my son, Lukas. In fact Lukas prefers to ride rear-facing because the seat's recline feature lets him sit on his legs and read a book or watch TV.

However, if you have a child that is hesitant to sit in a rear-facing seat because of leg length or other reasons try convincing them that it's the best option for them to travel. Explain that your child can remain in the convertible or all-in-one car seat so long as the height or weight limit is not exceeded.

Also, make sure to secure your child in a rear-facing car seat tightly using the lower anchor system or seat belt. Don't let them wear bulky clothing like winter coats, since they could be swollen in the event of a crash and cause the harness straps to loosen and put your child at risk for injuries. Make sure to use the Pinch Test when fitting your child's harness.

Convenience

Many parents prefer to keep infant car seats rear-facing as long as they can, because they are less cumbersome and more mobile than convertible seats. However placing your child in a rear-facing car seat could mean that they need to be taken out of the bassinet or crib at time of nap or time of bed. This may require waking up the baby who was sleeping which is not ideal. However, the safety benefits of rear facing outweigh any inconvenience.

Preemies and newborn babies are smaller than full-term infants which means that the headrest of their car seats is lower. This helps reduce the impact force and also ensures that the harness's chest clip is located below their shoulders, not at their necks. This is crucial for premature infants, whose bones are still weak and have not ossified after birth or pregnancy.

The position that faces the rear allows you to see your baby better than a forward facing infant car seat-facing position. This lets you easily monitor their behavior and ensure they are comfortable and happy. Many infant car seats have built-in baby mirrors that can be adjusted to allow you to view your child from almost any angle.

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

Convertible car seats or all-in-ones are known for their versatility. They can be used rear facing or forward facing, as well as belt-positioning boosters. They usually also have a large base in the back of your vehicle, making them easier to set up and remove. They are more expensive than single-use infant car seats however, they last longer than a standard infant seat and can save you money in the long run.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ride rear-facing to the maximum height and weight limit that are set by their car seat manufacturer, or until they are at least two years old. It is common for children to outgrow their rear-facing infant car seat when they turn two years old. However, it's best to hold off until they reach the age of two.

Weight Limits

You should be aware that all infant car seats have height and weight restrictions. The majority have a maximum weight of 30 to 35 pounds and an upper height limit of about 30 inches or so, depending on the model. When your child reaches these limits, it's time to move to the next stage of safety. You can choose a convertible car seat that can change between rear facing and forward facing, or an all-in one car seat that lets your kiddo ride in a rear-facing position until they reach the maximum height and weight recommended by the manufacturer.

There are other factors, besides the weight and height limit which can help you determine whether your child is able to go up a level in the car seat. One of these is their level of comfort when riding in a rear-facing. You can observe these signs in your child's behaviour, and compare it to other children similar to them in their car seats. You can also ask for help from a certified child passenger safety experts at an inspection station for car seats that are usually run by local government agencies or community-based organizations.

It's recommended to keep your child rear-facing for as long as you can. This is why many parents wait until their children are completely mature before they switch them over. But you can ward off this temptation by making sure your child's seat is properly installed and that you do not rush to change to a forward-facing seat too soon even if they're not close to the limits on weight or height of the car seat they're currently in.

Contact a certified child passenger technician if you have any concerns about your child's readiness to move on to the next level of car seats or if you're concerned that you may not installing the car seat correctly. They are available through community organizations such as hospitals local government offices, and child passenger safety programs. You can find one near you by looking online or by contacting your local health department or public safety agency. There are also mobile car seat check-in events that can visit your workplace or at home to make sure you have the right equipment and are making use of it properly.

Installation

The correct installation of a car seat is vital to ensure its safety. The NHTSA states, with regret, that nearly half of car seats are installed incorrectly. This includes rear-facing seats. The best method to make sure that your infant car seats are installed correctly is to read the instructions, and then have them professionally examined by a certified car safety technician.

Verifying the angle is the first step towards installing the rear-facing infant car seat. Make sure that the car seat base is at a safe angle for your baby's weight that is visible on the the base of the base or in its user's manual.

It is also important to ensure that the baby's head is positioned correctly in the seat. The forward-facing position can cause pressure on the spine and neck of infants with their large heads and soft necks. If a rear-facing collision occurs the back of the car seat absorbs the majority of the collision force, which shields the baby's delicate neck as well as spinal cord.

Once your baby has reached the weight limit or height of their infant car seat, it is time to move to a convertible or all-in-1 car seat that can be used in the rear position until your child reaches their front-facing limit. Make sure you purchase an infant car seat with an increased rear-facing limit when you switch to this type of seat as older models have lower limits.

If you choose an infant car seat that can be detached from the car, and then re-attached to the stroller, it is a great choice for parents who need to transport their infants in and out of the car regularly. The only downside to this is that it can be a hassle and time-consuming to move the car seat and stroller in and out of your vehicle every time, particularly with infants. This can be a good choice for many families if they are willing to invest the time to get it right each time. Make a plan and pick a day that you have plenty of spare time.
