Why You Should Consider a forward facing infant car seat [Get More Information]

Children younger than one year should NOT ride facing towards the forward. In a crash their weak neck muscles could stretch and cause serious injuries.

Switch to FF instead of FF once your child is at the weight limit of their current car seat or height (or the minimum required for the new car seat). Make sure you read the car seat instructions.

Safety

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

All forward-facing infant seats feature five-point harnesses that secure the child by simply pulling the straps. The shell of the car seat is lined with energy-absorbing foam EPS for better impact protection. Some models also come with an umbrella to protect from the sun.

The best infant carseats will include an angle indicator as well as an adjustable angle adjuster which allows you to choose the right angle for your child's head in order to prevent them from falling over in a crash. The top tether strap is attached to the tether anchor on the vehicle and comes from the top. It is important to keep in the mind that your child may not need to switch to a forward-facing car seat until they reach the maximum weight and height limit that is stated in the instruction manual of the seat you are using.

When your child reaches 20 pounds and one year old is the right time to change. Babies and toddlers under one year old have soft, loose neck muscles that can cause whiplash when they are in an accident. In frontal collisions (the most severe and frequent kind), they are more likely to sustain serious neck injuries. When children younger than 1 year are riding backwards their head is protected by the car seat, and protected from sudden movements that could strain their necks.

When children transition to a forward facing car seat, they need a convertible or an all in-one that has a high rearward weight and height limit. The child shouldn't be moved into a booster until they reach the height and age requirements for a high-back or backless booster, which is typically between 4 and 5 years old. You can see the difference in these carseats when you watch these crash videos but remember that the footage is reduced in speed. If a kid moves too fast, they could be injured.

Comfort

A forward-facing infant car seat keeps your lightweight baby car seat safe and comfortable in the event of an accident. The seat comes with a comfortable headrest, body support cushion and an EPS energy-absorbing foam shell to ensure your child's safety from impact. The seat comes with a five-point safety harness that can be adjusted with a single pull and a front-center adjuster. This will ensure your child is in the right position. A retractable canopy helps protect your child from direct sunlight. For your safety, the seat is designed to lock with the vehicle's seat belt and includes a locking clip that keeps the latch buckle secure when not in use.

If your child complains of discomfort during a journey or seems to lean forward during sleep or sleeping, the angle of the seat could be too low for the child. This can be fixed by placing a towel that is tightly folded under the front of your car seat. If this doesn't work, you can bring your baby to Rockridge Kids to have us check the angle of their car seat.

Remember that children should not face forward until they weigh at least 20 pounds and are one year old. Their necks are not strong enough to take the force of a collision, if they were to be thrown to the side on their own. Some experts suggest taking longer to wait as the bones and muscles of children are more malleable.

Many parents decide to purchase a convertible car seat that allows their children to be in a rear-facing position until they reach the maximum weight or height limit of the seat. This lets them enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing car seat longer, and also makes it easier for parents as they can easily move their child from the rear-facing position to the forward-facing one when their child is no longer in the position.

The 4Ever Convertible Car Seat from Graco is a four-in-one convertible car seat that allows your child to use the seat for a period of 10 years. It can be converted from a rear-facing infant (up to 40lbs) to a forward-facing harness and high-back seat (30-100 lbs), to a belt-positioning backless seat (40-120 lbs). The Smart Fit system makes it easy to install. You can move the headrest and harness together without having to re-thread.

Convenience

A forward-facing infant car seat is an excellent option if you're traveling with a child who is young. It lets you see your child's view while driving, and allows everyone else in the family to get into the vehicle without disturbing your infant or toddler. This type of car seat can be used with a stroller which makes it easier to carry your child in and out of the car to go to the supermarket or other errands.

But remember, even if your child is old enough to transition to a forward-facing car seat it's best to keep them rear-facing the longest time possible. When you look at it from the standpoint of crash tests, a child's head is more secure in a frontal crash when they are facing backwards. This is due to the fact that when facing backwards the entire body including the head, neck and torso is held in the rear of the car seat.

It is important to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer on the best time to change your child's car seat around. They will often have a maximum weight and height limit that you should not go over, as well as specific rules for things like the crotch buckle's position. These rules are designed to safeguard your child as they grow.

You should also consider whether your vehicle comes with Tether anchors. If so, ensure that the tether is fitted and connected to the anchor points on your vehicle as per the instructions in the manual. The last thing to do is ensure that the shoulder straps of your child's harness are on or below their shoulders, but not too low or high. This can affect how they're restrained during a crash.

An excellent option for parents with more than one child or plan to have more children is a convertible car seat. It is a one-stop car seat that starts by being a rear-facing infant car seat before moving your child to a forward-facing position when they're old enough and have reached the height or weight limit of the rear-facing position in the car seat.

Style

You've put in a lot of time and effort choosing the best baby car seat for your child. But as they get older and begin to outgrow their car seat for infants you might be wondering when it's time to flip them around.

Although the idea of having your child face forward can be exciting, there are some important safety considerations that you should be aware of. Kids should remain in the rear until they reach the maximum height and weight limits for their specific car seat.

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 think they have reached their maximum amount of legroom. A child might appear larger in a rear-facing car seat however, that doesn't mean that it's safe to turn them around, since their spine and bones aren't fully developed yet.

It is recommended that you keep your child rear-facing until they reach one year old, and some infant car seats come with an integrated reminder to keep them there. This is due to the fact that children younger than one don't have strong enough neck muscles to withstand the force of a collision with a car in front, which can result in serious spinal injuries.

In addition to being secure and secure, many infant car seats have convenient features that make them easy to use. Some include bases that snap in and out of the car seats newborn and allow you to transport your baby from the car to a stroller and then back. They are usually part of an overall travel system.

If you're about to transition your baby into a forward-facing convertible car seat ensure that you follow all of the manufacturer's instructions and checking the car seat for tightness. If it's installed correctly the car seat should not move more than one inch from 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 questions or concerns, talk to a certified safety technician in your area or contact the manufacturer of the car seat.
