Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat

Children younger than one year old should not ride in a forward-facing. In the event of a crash, their neck muscles that are weak can stretch and cause serious injuries.

Instead switch to FF when your child is at the height or weight maximums of the seat they are currently in (or the minimums for the new seat). Please read your instructions for the car seat.

Safety

In the event of a crash, infant car seats are designed to protect the neck and head of your child. The forward-facing position also helps prevent your child from slamming their head against the hard back of the seat which could result in serious injuries.

All forward-facing infant car seat travel seats feature five-point harnesses, which secure the child by simply pulling the straps. The shell of the carrier is lined in energy-absorbing foam EPS to provide better protection against impact. Some also have a canopy that provides shade from the sun.

The best infant car seats will have an angle indicator and an adjustable angle adjuster, that allows you to choose the right angle for your child's head to stop them from flopping over in a crash. The seat also has a top tether strap that connects to the top of the car seat and connects onto the tether anchor in your vehicle. You should keep in mind that you may not need to change your child's seat to a forward facing car seat until she reaches the maximum weight and height as stated in the instruction manual for the seat.

When your child is 20 lbs and a year old is the right time to make the switch. Infants and toddlers younger that one year have soft, loose muscles in their necks, which can cause whiplash when they are involved in an accident. In frontal collisions (the most severe and frequent kind) they are more likely to sustain serious neck injuries. Rear-facing car seats shield the necks of infants under one year old by cushioning their heads.

If children are moving to a forward-facing car seat they should remain in a convertible seat or an all-in-one with a high rear-facing weight and height limit. They shouldn't be moved to a booster seat until they meet the high back or backless booster seat age and height requirements typically about age 4 or 5. It is evident the difference in these seats when you look at these crash videos, but keep in mind that the footage is slow-motion. If a child is moving too fast, they may be injured.

Comfort

A forward-facing infant car seats keeps your child safe and comfortable during an accident. The seat comes with a soft headrest and a body support cushion and an EPS energy-absorbing cover to shield your child from the impacts.

A retractable canopy protects your lightweight baby car seat from the sunlight. The seat can be locked to the vehicle seat belt to ensure safety. It also comes with a clip to lock the buckle secure even when the seat isn't in use.

If your child is complaining of discomfort during a trip or seems to slump forward when sleeping the seat's angle could be too low for the child. You can remedy this by placing tightly folded towels under the front of the car seat to lift it higher. If this doesn't help then you can bring your child to Rockridge Kids to have us examine the angle of their carseat.

It is crucial to remember that children aren't yet ready to take on the world until they weigh at least 20 pounds AND one year old (their necks are not strong enough yet to withstand a force applied to them in a crash in the event of falling forward on their own). Some experts recommend waiting longer since the bones and muscles of young children are more flexible.

Many parents choose to buy a convertible car seat that lets their infants travel rearward-facing until they reach maximum weight or height limits. This lets parents enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing seat for a longer amount of time. It also makes it easier for them because they can easily switch their child's position from rear-facing to forward-facing when their child is out of it.

Convenience

A forward facing infant car seat is an excellent option when you're traveling with a young child.

Even when your child is at the age that they are able to change to a car seat that is facing forward it is best to keep them in a rear-facing seat for as long as you are able to. From the point of view of crash tests, children's head is more secure in the event of a crash if they face backwards. This is due to the fact that the entire body -- including the head neck, torso, and head -- is cradled by the back of the car seat when they're facing in this direction.

It is important to read the instructions of the manufacturer to determine the best time to change your child's car seat around. They usually have the weight and height limit you shouldn't exceed and also specific rules for things like crotch buckles. These restrictions are designed to protect your child's safety as they grow.

Another thing to think about is whether you own a vehicle that has Tether anchors for your car seat. If yes, you must make sure the strap is properly fitted and tied to the anchor points of your vehicle as per the instructions in the manual of the seat. Also, ensure that the shoulder straps of your child's harness are at or below their shoulders, and are not too high or low. This will affect how they are restrained during an accident.

A convertible car seat is a smart choice for parents with multiple children or who plan to have more.

Keep in mind that children vary in both size and age. Don't base your decision on a specific date on the calendar, or if you think they have reached their maximum length. A child might appear larger in a rear-facing car seat, but that doesn't mean that it's safe for turning around, as their spine and bones aren't fully developed.

It is recommended that you keep your child rear facing until they are at least one year old. certain infant car seats have an inbuilt reminder to keep them there. This is because children under one do not have strong enough neck muscles that can withstand a frontal impact which could result in serious spinal injuries.

In addition to being secure and secure, many infant car seats come with convenient features that make them simple to use. Some of these include bases that snap into and out of the car which allows you to take your child from the car to a stroller, and back. They are typically part of a travel system.

If you're ready to move your baby into a forward-facing convertible car seat, be sure to do it correctly by following all the instructions of the manufacturer and examining the car seat for tightness. When installed properly, the car seat shouldn't move more than one inch side to side or from front to back, and the harness straps must be at or above your child's shoulders. If you have any concerns or questions you should talk to an accredited car seat safety technician in your region or contact the car seat manufacturer.
