Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat

Children younger than one year shouldn't ride facing forward. In the event of a crash weak neck muscles can stretch and cause serious injury.

Instead switch to FF at the time your child reaches the height or weight maximums of their current seat (or the minimums required for the new seat). Follow the directions for your car seat carefully.

Safety

In the case of a collision, infant car seats are designed to protect the neck and head of your child. The forward-facing position also stops your child from slamming their head against the hard back of the seat, which can cause serious injuries.

All infant car seats with a forward-facing view have five-point harnesses to secure the child with one pull tightening. Additionally, the shell of the car is lined with EPS energy-absorbing foam for enhanced protection against impact. Some also have a canopy that provides shade from the sun.

The best car seat infant infant car seats will have an angle indicator and an adjustable angle adjuster, that allows you to determine the ideal angle for your child's head to prevent them from falling over in the event of a collision. The top tether strap is connected to the vehicle's tether anchor and is positioned from the top. It's important to keep it in mind that your child might not require switching 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're using.

When your child is 20 lbs and one year, it's time to make the switch. Infants and toddlers younger than one year old have loose, soft muscles in their necks that could cause whiplash if involved in an accident. They are more prone to suffer serious neck injuries if they travel in a frontal collision (the most frequent and serious type). Rear-facing car seats shield the necks of children less than one year old by cushioning their heads.

When children move to a forward facing car seat, they still need a convertible or an all in-one that has a high rearward weight and a height limit. The child should not be moved into a booster until they reach the height and age requirements for a high-back or a backless booster, which is usually between 4 and 5 years old. These crash videos will show you the differences between the carseats. But remember, the footage is slowed down. A child could be injured if they move too quickly.

Comfort

It is vital to keep in mind that children are not ready to stand up and face forward until they weigh at least 20 pounds AND one year old (their necks aren't sturdy enough to withstand the force that would be applied to them in a crash in the event of falling forward on their own). Some experts recommend waiting even longer, because the muscles and bones of children are more flexible than those of adults.

If yes, ensure that the tether is connected to your vehicle's anchor points as per the instructions in the manual.
